Of 90 different crosses made for a healing quilt by Mary Lou's students and friends. Michele Bileux put them together with the back shown and a pillowcase using 36 more. They are in the mail and will be here soon.
The curtains in my pre op space before my breast cancer surgery. I love plaids.
Here I am after I got my sleepy injection before they took me to surgery - that was the last thing I remembered until they woke me up . I am home today and resting up. I have had some pain and some nausea. It is hard to just sit and not lift or do little chores around the house.
How blessed you feel with something in the mail that helps . I had never seen these before.
God was good to me from friend's prayers and I had no fear. I went in knowing I was in good hands. I had 1/3 of my breast removed and some lymph nodes taken out. I find out if they got it all on the 13th and then start on radiation and possibly chemo.
Life is good and my three wonderful children were with me the entire time. I am feeling very blessed.
Bunny sisters I owe you letters. Thank you sincerely to the many of you who prayed and offered advice and love.
I am indeed blessed. I love my dear friends. Thank you.
Glad you came through and had no fear. God is good. May he continue to bless you.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is beautiful and I love all the happy colors in that and your pillows. You are like me when it comes to healing, we want to get better and keep a positive attitude, but sometimes it is good to rest and let others help, so we can heal. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your positive attitude reminds me to think on the positive side, each and every day.

Thank you, Mary Lou, for your beautiful, inspirational smile. Your courage is truly a blessing to all of us. I will keep praying for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteBless your heart and other parts as you heal from the surgery. Remember to have food in your tummy when you take a pain pill to help decrease nausea and do take the pain pills. You won't need them for very long but they really help during the early days.
ReplyDeleteLove the cross quilt, backing, and blocks, the wonderful heart pillows, and that charming and handy zippered sewing bag. The block I sent should have arrived in the last few days.
Prayers continue.
Gentle hugs!
Take time to heal and rest and know that two loving healing quilts are coming to aid in your healing.
ReplyDeleteLove that your cubical curtain had plies. Your bionic gear bag looks lovely. They hold so much!
Mary Lou I'm so sorry that you had to go through this. It will get better I'm proof, it will be 10 yrs in October, chemo, radiation and 5yrs of 3 different MEDS. Please don't lift anything heavy on the surgery side. Did the doctor mention Lymphedema? Please read up on this and wear a compression sleeve if you go on a plane. I got lymphedema 3 mths after surgery, I wasn't told anything about it and was completely caught off guard. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. You can't have too many people praying for you. It will be a while that you'll need to rest, it does get better. �� Toni Anne
ReplyDeleteGod's blessings on you and praying for an excellent report and quick complete healing....life sure is a mystery sometimes....keep your chin up!
ReplyDeleteKeeping you in my thoughts...
ReplyDeleteYou Bless us also!
ReplyDeleteMade my way here from a mutual friends blog. The quilt is breathtaking! It's truly a work of art as well as full of powerful wishes from like minded people. I'm sorry you're going through cancer, sounds like you have a fabulous attitude which is so very important in the fight. Having not been here before, am a bit confused. Are you making the quilt for someone else? Is the quilt a gift to you?
