Alive and Well, almost

I have my first cold. I guess getting out to the Central Coast Quilt Show, movies, and shopping, wasn't such a good idea. But, I sure had fun while it lasted. I never realized how good I felt until I had to endure 6 months of chemotherapy. Now I need to address the issue of having a compromised immune system and even though my blood tests show I'm getting there, I'm still not up to "normal" white cells. I have to take it easy for a little while longer. I have plenty of projects to keep me busy and rest at the same time.

I wanted to introduce some of my peeps at my oncologist's office. On the left is Dr. David Palchak, whom I refer to as my "doc." When he's not killing cancer dragons, he is an avid gardner. We have recently shared some irises that I found in BH&G that bloom more than once a year.

Below is nurse Phea, who in her spare time ran a half marathon in Amber's name, for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society in San Francisco. This is her 6th, most of them full 26 milers. Look on the lower left side of her shirt for Amber Carter. Thank you, Phea. You are the bomb!
Next posting, I will introduce you to the rest of the gang. Until then, keep running, or walking or resting! I will be doing the latter for the time being.
