Great friends




Yesterday I was surprised with this beautiful quilt. Our MUTS Tandem bike club family joined forces and went together to create this. Boy was I surprised! I didn't have any idea that we had so many creative and thoughtful friends. Several teams came over after their Tulip Time bike ride and we enjoyed a great pot luck supper. Thanks to all that contributed and thanks to Mary Robertson, Karen Pries, Penny McNicholas and Marge Mathius that organized and joined all the squares together. A special thank you to Marge who did all the finish work and machine quilted it to make the quilt extra special. It will be a constant reminder for me of all of your support every day of this journey. Be sure to click on the quilt pictures to see some of the fine work they put into it.

As for how I am doing. I have been feeling really good once I get past the body and muscle pain. By Monday afternoon (4 days after chemo) I am bouncing back. By Wednesday I am doing really good. This past Wednesday we were even able to get an 18 mile ride in on the tandem. It is on the good days that I feel that I am able to keep on going through this. I thank God for this. My blood counts have remained great - which is an added blessing.
Next chemo is this Thursday.

Wrap yourself in that beautiful quilt and know that you are surrounded by people that care about you! What a beautiful gift! I just learned yesterday about your journey. I have you in my special prayer I say every morning for those who are touched by cancer. I will call you soon. Stay positive. Jean King
