Can you tell that all my exams went well?
Mammo: "normal and benign"
Bone Density: "normal" - even after spending 2015 and most of 2016 in bed/a wheelchair!
Colonoscopy: I'm on the 10 year plan!
Survivors' Guilt: Thanks to the encouragement from my friends in my Cancer Care Group (most who are dealing with incurable cancer, metastasis, recurrences or new diagnosis) , my family and friends, I am living life to the fullest!
I see my oncologist this month and have a full physical next month. For some reason, the imaging center I went to gave me the reports and CDs early! :)
Saturday's Song
This song lists the basics I try to utilize. If you're going through a hard time, you may want to consider them.....
Here is the list:
Be strong in the Lord and,
Never give up hope,
You're going to do great things,
I already know,
God's got His hand on you so,
Don't live life in fear,
Forgive and forget,
But don't forget why you're here,
Take your time and pray,
- The Words I Would Say by Sidewalk Prophets
Trust Him. (Job 23:10)
Slow Stitching + a Finish
I've been doing quite a bit of slow stitching in the form of binding the Panel Baby Quilt! The recipient was so grateful that he almost made me cry!
I can't believe I forgot to take a picture of the finished quilt!
Here it is with the borders:
I machine quilted the borders and hand quilted the bears.
I'm hoping to make even more progress on Prayer Shawl #2. It's already about 48" long!
By the way, I saw this pattern on Fiber Flux. Her directions are fabulous! It's really interesting to see how different it looks with a bulkier yarn!
I'm also hoping I can make some progress on this Oldie But Goodie - the Around the House Stitching Club mini by Wild Olive!
