Kate made a wonderful curry dinner using the newly acquired thermo-mix today. This is an amazing machine that cooks and mixes all in one at the push of a few buttons. Ideal for our situation.
I think we will be able to cope perfectly well, one arm notwithstanding. As long as everyone helps a bit in the kitchen (chopping onions and peeling garlic is a little hard with one hand) it should be fine. The boys are very helpful, with Peter chopping vegetables and David laying the table.
The phantom pain seems to be easing periodically now, at least during the day. Hopefully it will gradually decline... that would make life a whole lot more pleasant.
Off to watch the clarinet concerto tonight - Peter's main instrument (he also plays the saxophone!). Hopefully also some violins, which are David's favourite.
Sure the curry was delicious! Spotted handsfree can opener here but seems like there are lots of incredible gadgets over there?!
ReplyDeleteKaty, congrats on passing your driver's test! Sure you felt like an 18yr old again?!
Our love and prayers will be with you this week. xx
I just heard today (from Gill Jeffery) about the tough time you are having Kate - not sure if you remember me from St Andrew's many years ago. You and your family are in our thoughts. I can't for a moment think about how tough this must be for you all. Way to go on passing your drivers license again and moving forward. Keep it up and try to keep smiling! Cheryl Savage
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a lovely weekend - hope the concert was fabulous and that you enjoyed some special family time. I've been thinking of you all day today what with it being round 2 of the chemo. Hopefully this time it won't be as brutal - hang in there my friend.
ReplyDeletelots of love
