OT - whew what a day!

Actually it's half on and half off topic. Monday I saw my Diabetes
specialist (we won't mention how late she runs!) and I mentioned a problem
I've been having for about 4 months. I told her I'd seen my GP who ran one
test which came back all clear and she nearly fell off her chair when I
informed her he'd left it at that. I could see her face getting more
worried by the minute when I mentioned more symptoms and when she heard my
grandparents had passed from cancer she started writing blood test orders.
She has a couple of ideas (none of which are good) but we'll cross that
bridge when we come to it. I should have realised how serious it was when
she said she wanted me back in two weeks when the test results are back.

Anyhoo, to bring it back ON topic instead of feeling sorry for myself
yesterday and today, I've been sewing like a mad woman (some would say
that's no different to normal!) and have sewn and birthed two kiddy quilts
and made up another top for a third using some of the gorgeous (and I mean
gorgeous) fabrics from my care package from Susan. So come Christmas time
I'll be able to take a heap of quilts over to Ronald McD house. And it
makes me feel better too. There's nothing like snuggling fabric is there?
And Merlot the QI is getting more interested in the process - he was right
next to my sewing foot!

And I'm *this* close to finishing DH's quilt top (YYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY)
then I can start quilting the monster. Should be done by next week (the
top) at the latest.

(((((( Sharon))))))))). We will be there in spirit and prayer when you
get your test results back, and through whatever comes next.
Keep fondling that fabric in the meantime. It will keep you sane.

So sorry to hear that you may have some not-so-fun news ahead. Will be
thinking about you and crossing my digits. Good for you to take your
emotions and pour them into something heartfelt and generous.
Hugs to you good person!!

You have got to be OK since I'm expecting you to be coming to
my town so we can go "bar hopping". Remember those 4 bars
in my town? VBG
Hope and pray that you are in fine shape.

prayers for a positive outcome coming your way from Arkansas. I think this
doctor needs to learn how to put on a better poker face rather than scaring
the bejeebers out of our Queen of Down Under.

Sharon, I'm terribly sorry to hear that you may be facing some
unpleasant medical hurdles, and I'm sending my prayers and good thoughts
your way that everything will turn out to be just fine. You're amazing,
you know -- pouring yourself into making those quilts for other people
while waiting and wondering is so selfless and kind! {{{{{Hugs}}}}}

Sharon-

Prayers coming to you from MO., USA. Sewing/quilting is a great
distraction when health problems are looming over you. Take care of
yourself and try not to worry too much before you know for sure- then
you can start fighting whatever it may be. And congrats on finishing
your DH's top. Good on you!

Sharon,

I hope your specialist is just being extra careful and there is nothing
really wrong. Good thoughts going your way.

Thank y'all for your thoughts and wishes. I've calmed down a bit, but am
still a bit um not with it (blonde? elderly? LOL).

My specialist is great she nags me, she gives me those looks when I've been
bad, I just have to housetrain her to run her appointments on schedule. She
really does care. Now after the vampire got through with me I have to wait
until the 8/8 for results.

Meanwhile to make it on topic - I finished filling in the side edges of the
nightmare quilt, just have to do the top and bottom.
