COUNTED CROSS STITCH

My Deer friends came for lunch  Aren't they cute?

I have been so happy to have this to work on for the last couple of weeks.  I some how managed to get Bronchitis and Pneumonia in my right lung.  I was pretty sick for a few days but I am doing better now.  The doctor gave me antibiotics and some pills to open up my Bronchial tubes.  The medicine is a Steroid and it made me very shakey. I only had to take that for a week.  I have an inhaler for when I need it.  Also I have to use a Nebulizer 4 times a day.  I am going to have to check with the doctor and see how much longer I need to use it.  I have quite a bit of the medicine for it.  I am breathing so much better now.  I had actually been sick for awhile before I went to the doctor.  I didn't realize I was sick.  Donna had noticed me wheezing but I just thought I was getting tired walking up the hill with Marge.  Then on the 24th of August, which was a Saturday, Donna and two ladies from the Church and I went to Silverdale for the day.  We had a great time.  We went clothes shopping and also went to a Quilt store and Joann Fabrics.  I got some really nice fabric to make a real oriental looking quilt. My picture will probably be finished before the quilt is.  Anyway, I had taken my walker and I spent so much time sitting on it that Donna suspected I wasn't feeling well.  Sunday I had to go to Church because I was going to be the only one in the Library.  I was light headed and wheezing but I went anyway.  I stayed for Sacrament and went back to the Library for a few minutes but had to go home.  Donna took me to the doctor the next day and that's when I found out I had Pneumonia.

I will be so happy when I get back to doing things.  I have just been to weak to do much.  I have very little patience for being sick.  I am glad I got back to doing my Counted Cross Stitch.  It puts me in my own world and makes the time pass more quickly.

  2. Taking things slower while you recover is hard but you have great talents to keep you busy. Take a few more days off before you are running around again! That cross-stich will be beautiful.
