Quilts for kids...Quilt #2

Got up early and got the top done, have to add 2 borders to bring it up to size! I just love the penquins and the colors! soo cheery!

Bakers cyst....

Today i had the Bakers cyst drained at the hospital...my knee was killing me..

ok it was a different pain than the regular ones we live with..!

I ignored the pain issues, because that is what we do! people with Fibro, can get all messed up, ignoring all our aches and pains..I don't mean we should live at the Doctors, heck they think we are crazy anyways..9 times out of 10 it has taken them 5 years to get a diagnosis...
I just wanted to share with you..if something does change in your physical condition, pay attention to it...start a log, if you have to. It will help you, to recongize if it is the same ole ,same ole..or something different, heck, even serious!
so as the numbing shots wear off..it feels like a root canal..lol! the throbbing starts! but in a day or two..hopefully my knee will go back to it's regular pains. did i say i missed them? NOT!

I Forgot....

I guess i forgot all about having a blog! good grief....

But i have been busy sewing and quilting away! My lates quilt is for

What is an Invisible Illness you ask?

An illness that causes people to say "But you don't look sick". In my case, it is Fibromyalgia, in others it may be RA or Lupus, or any number of other syndromes. We don't look sick, but we are..Enough about that for now..
I quilt when i can, some days it is like I am racing..trying to keep sewing while i am feeling good. Other days, I can't get up the energy or though the pain to go to the sewing room.
This is the start of my new blog...taking my frustrations and achievements to the world of blogging!
