I have no excuse. At least not a good one. There just comes a time in this battle with pain and fatigue when I have to give up, do only what is absolutely necessary, and spend a lot of time prone and immobile. That's my sorry excuse.
I did get finished, for a while I hope, with medical appointments and tests, ending with my mammogram and bone scan appointments on Thursday. I'm now on the higher dose thyroid medication, and I'm not sure I can tell much of a difference so far. But I'm still hopeful.
I haven't even been inside my sewing room for, I think, about three weeks now. Maybe today, I'll make it. Maybe not.
So until I sew something to show, here are a few pics from my quilting bee's meeting earlier this month.
We met at Mary S.'s house, which is filled with her beautiful quilts.
Cyndi W. showed us this beautiful quilt she's making for a friend.

Great quilts! I hope the thyroid med.--or something!--gets you to feeling better.

Hoping that increased thyroid med helps. I started a "sit and be fit" class a couple of months ago and at first I really thought it was doing more harm than good. All I was "fit" for after a session was a nap! Slowly, I am seeing a bit of improvement in energy. I have a Central Nervous system disorder and the exhaustion and energy drain can be tough to deal with. I always admire your spirit of never giving up! Helen

What lovely quilts are hanging in Mary's home! Applause!! We need a home tour if she wouldn't mind. What think ye?
Love Cindi W.'s pink and happy quilt that will go to one of her friends and Martha's two delightful cuddle quilts!! More applause!!
I'm sorry the past weeks have been exhausting and unpleasant for you. Hope the new dose of thyroid medicine helps a lot.
Big hugs!

It is so good to see you blogging again. I'm very sorry you haven't been feeling up to par and hope the medicine kicks in soon.
I was thumbing through some old quilt books, for inspiration, and there was YOUR picture. I know I mentioned it long ago but I forgot about you writing introductions in quilt books. Sometime, when you are feeling better, it would be great to see some of your quilts. Your quilting bee's quilts are inspiring but I know you have some fantastic ones of your own.
Get plenty of rest and give yourself plenty of slack on not doing anything until you feel better.
God bless you. Patty Mc

I think it is important for all of us to understand it isn't what we accomplish that makes us who we are. It is who we are, the very essence of our souls that matters. When we get episodes of bad health or chronic bad health, the ability to accomplish what we formerly did does not diminish our value one little bit.
You are loved because you are a daughter of God, created in His image. You are a wonderful person even if you don't accomplish anything magnificent for the rest of your mortal life. A baby doesn't work yet do you downplay the baby's significance? Never.
I often struggle with myself on this issue. It is easy to write this but it isn't easy to live it. We are just TOO American. People love us not for what we do but for who we are.
Please love yourself cuddled up on the sofa reading a book or just looking out the window at the magnificence of spring. You are wonderful just as you are!
