BEEN A HARD WEEK AND SURPRISE IN THE MAIL

It has been a hard week, this last chemo treatment knocked me off my feet. My bloodcount keeps going down and now I am neutrophenic, so I have to have a shot everyday to try to boost my bloodcount back up. So needless to say, this has been a hard couple of weeks. I am supposed to take my last chemo next week, but unless my counts come back up, I may not be. I haven't had the energy to sew at all, Samantha's show is next week and I am going with her, hope these shots work and I can feel better by then. I get to visit with Carmen also, looking forward to that. I have done nothing but take naps and lay around all week. Still having stomach problems, not as bad, but still there. So I guess my next stop is the gastro doctor. It sure is fun getting older.
But I had a great surprise in the mail from Sheila at: http://thecraftaholiccreations.blogspot.com/ She made me a darling little raggedy and painted an apron to match. Also painted a chicken on a little basket, she added a kitchen towel and chicken spreaders. Thank you so much. She also made a sign for Samantha's Business, I love it. Check out Sheila's blog to see the sign and her great patterns.
Hopefully this shot will help me get back on my feet, the only bad part, I have to go every day to get the shot, until my count goes up. It is an hour there and back. So hoping to get back to sewing this week. Thanks so much for all emails asking where I was and if I was alright, it is greatly appreciated.

    Suspected you were under the weather. If it's the shot to produce more bone marrow and white cells, they can cause your bones to ache something awful, but sure worked for me. We take good health for granted sometimes. Hoping you're better soon. Enjoy your cute little dolly! God Bless!
