Bouncing Back




I am finally starting to bounce back. My white and red blood count tested really low last Monday. Thank God that I don't have to go back for more chemo tomorrow! I can enjoy my Monday for a change! In addition to being tired and sore, I developed a urinary tract infection. I guess that goes along with a low white blood cell count. Only 16 days until my left side mastectomy, so I plan on feeling great by then. Hopefully we will be able to get some short bike rides in between now and then.
I have been spending a lot of my time quilting. I just finished a pink and green baby quilt for Robyn and Dustin - we are so hoping that she is carrying a girl since the ultrasound wasn't 100 percent conclusive. The top two pictures show this baby quilt. I have really had fun learning how to machine free hand quilt as you should be able to tell from the picture of the back of this quilt (the green picture). I also made a quilt for our house (the one with the animals) and a tote bag for me. I have several projects in mind to do. I think that I have really become addicted! Thanks, Marge for encouraging me to get started.
