Ok, let me see if attaching a photo works now... here's my blanket! The granny pattern was out of a book of granny patterns. I picked the colors and designed the overall pattern. It kind of reminds me of stained glass.

First Dx IDC in 10/16 at age 38, stage 2A, 1.2 cm ER/PR+ Her2-, Grade 2, 1/3 nodes. Lumpectomy + radiation + tamoxifen. Second Dx IDC recurrence in original location 5/21. 1.3 cm ER/PR+, Her2 -. Grade 2. 2/2 nodes. UMX + AC/T + Zoladex/Exemestane + Zometa.

Carol, I enjoyed "Tarp Your Load" in your latest blog post. Believe me I have had to do that in utter exasperation with this contractor. I didn't have that phrase at the time we were last texting but it is the perfect phrase for me. I have mustered up extreme restraint even surprising myself. LOL Please pray that this job gets done this weekend as he is leaving out of the country on Monday.
Love,
Nancy

Jean, I'm hoping your LE treatment goes well.
Nancy, I'm sorry you're having trouble with your contractor. Even when the contractor is a good one, you still have to keep on top of the work they're doing, right? I'm glad you enjoyed the blog post. We still laugh about that phrase.

Let's remember to pray for Wheatfields as she has her surgery to fix her issues with her thumbs. We pray against anxiety as she faces this surgery tomorrow. We pray for a successful conclusion with no pain when it is over.
I am watching the horrific breaking news that has happened in Uvalde, Texas with 14 elementary children and 1 teacher dead. The 18 yr old shooter is dead as well. Let's pray for this tragic situation for the families and for those who have witnessed this unspeakable event.
Love,
Nancy

Jean, I am praying for your treatment that all goes well.
Wheatfields, I am praying for your surgery on your thumbs and that you have complete restoration of movement with no pain.
gb, continued prayers for your work situation believing God can move mountains. I am hoping once my family leaves I feel well enough to start a new crochet project.
Nancy, praying for complete relief of your gut situation, that your physical therapy is going well, and that your contractor gets moving to complete the work you need done.
I had a small set-back yesterday and needed to go into the infusion center for IV fluids. My oncologist has agreed to a dose reduction so I hope this helps. I am just real weak. My blood work looked fine. I hope I get enough strength I can go buy some new jeans and tops this week. I have lost almost 40 pounds and everything is too big. I am sorry I got rid of all my smaller work clothes! The house is close to being done except there are no pictures on the walls, my silver still needs polishing, and I don't have a bedroom set yet. But it looks ok. Thank you for all your prayers.
