The moving finger

Our Xmas has been marred by what appears to be an infection in Jo's right index finger. It began on Xmas Eve and at that time we assumed it was gout, as it manifested as a reddish swelling on the knuckle.

It laid Jo low on Xmas day and sapped her strength such that I called an emergency doctor on Boxing Day. By this time the swelling and redness had progressed toward the wrist. The doctor's diagnosis was infection and she prescribed 1,000 mg a day of fluxocilin.

This has rocked Jo even more but the swelling does seem to be abating. We shall see if the moving finger of fate, having written another chapter, moves on.

Fiat Lux

Jo and I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone an enjoyable festive break.

Although there has been a large break in Jo's rehabilitation occasioned by the physiotherapist falling ill after her return from holiday Jo does seem to be making some physical progression. Her confidence is still the main thing and we plan to work on that together over the holiday period with simple stands and walking on the spot.

Although the outlook for next year is bleak and I shall have to devote more of my time to earning some much-needed money we remain positive.
