Here's what has been happening since the last post in August of 2023...

I underwent a stem cell transplant July 29,2023. I was in the hospital until 

August 9,2023. It was the second time in the hospital in less than one year, not what you really want to do. I didn't get back to normal after my hip replacement, but did physical therapy to get as strong as I could before the stem cell transplant. Glad I did because the stem cell transplant took a lot out of me, it was the hardest thing I have ever done. It took me until October before I felt human again. I was able to get back to physical therapy again December 12,2023. Started getting all my vaccines and childhood shots too. I was very fortunate during all this journey to have my Daughter's support taking care of me and driving me to all my appointments. 

Fast forward to now February 10,2024 I am feeling much better, not as strong as I want, but I'm working on it with PT twice a week. I am able to drive and take myself to all my appointments now. Also playing cards and Mah Jongg with Friends. As soon as I get more stamina back, it doesn't get dark so early, and I get my next round of shots in March I hope to get back to my Quilt Guild meetings.

Stay tuned and hopefully I will post more Quilt pictures soon. First up I plan on working through UFO's that have been on the back burner for awhile.

Starting to get back to living after my stem cell transplant...

 Trying to get my quilting mojo back.

This quilt top has been waiting a very long time to get finished. It only needed to have the mitered corners sewn, They were already pinned and ready.
