Last Pneumonia Recheck

No more doctor visits.  At least for now.  I've been cleared...my lungs look great, my extreme fatigue is pretty much gone.  I am able to go back to work.  No restrictions.  That's all really good news.  Right?  Yes, it is.  Except for the 'able to go back to work' part.  It wasn't fun having pneumonia...not in any way.  Not.At.All.  However, I did rather enjoy staying home.  And, being gone from work this long...well, I can only think that it'll take awhile to get everything sorted out and back on track.  Things that no one else knew how to do.  Waiting for my return.

What's a Girl To Do?

I went to the doctor today for a recheck on my pneumonia.  I've been very discouraged because I have no stamina.  Which is all a part of pneumonia...but still.  I'm just so tired of being tired.  Ya know?  And, it's not even really being tired...not sleepy tired.  Just plain fatigued.  There's not much I can do, especially when I'm supposed to rest.  I can sit and sew, though.  For little increments of time.  But, I even need to take a break from that, for pete's sake.

Anyway.  I had chest radiographs taken, and they looked better than the ones that were taken a month ago.  So, that's the good news.  The bad news...well, it's not really bad news...but the other news is that my doctor is not releasing me for work.  Yet.  I go back for another recheck in two weeks.  I will probably be released for work at that time.

In the meantime...what's a girl to do?  Well, how about if this girl starts a new quilt?  Yeah.  I've been thinking about a sampler quilt...and the Denyse Schmidt fabrics have been calling my name.  So.  That's what I did.  Started a new quilt.  Today.

I had seen this quiltalong - Summer Sampler Series - but was in the midst of planning my 'Christmas in August' projects (this was before I had pneumonia), so didn't want to take on another project.  

But now?  Heck, yeah!  

There are twelve 12" blocks in this quilt...I will probably make 16, though, so the quilt finishes at a larger size.  I'm using Kona solid in Snow with the Hope Valley fabrics.

Here are my first 3 blocks...

The Star of Virginia...

Greek Cross...

 

Mosaic...

 

That's all I have for now.  



Must feed the pups.  

Have a good evening!

Pneumonia Recheck

 Went to see my doctor today.
We had a very nice visit.

In the end, though,
she decided that I was not
ready to go back to work.

I go back to see her in 2 weeks.
Recheck and chest radiographs.

I am feeling much better.
My doctor commented on
how much better I look.
But, I'm still not 100%.
So.


More time off and more rest.
Seriously.
REST.

It is nice to feel a bit better
and to have a bit of energy here and there.
But, I cannot push it.
Doctor's orders.
Got it.

I did get a few things done last week...

in the spirit of our "Christmas in August"

Trying to use up the last of the
Iced Mocha fabrics.
This is side 1...

and here is side 2...

(yes.  really.  one tote with 2 different sides)

A zippered pouch...

another coin purse

(but not with Iced Mocha!)

I stopped by my LQS today.

Gloria gave me a project to do.

Gonna be cute!
