It is so wonderful to be done with the blanket. I have some more pictures to put on later I just need to get them from Jill. This blanket turned out great. It is beautiful! But what it represents is the most important thing. They said I needed something to focus on through all of this and so I chose to make this quilt. A very good friend and my sisters helped. This quilt represents love, friendship, strength, kindness, perseverance, faith, and knowledge that Heavenly Father loves us all and is there to support us all in everything we do if we but just ask for his hand.
Many people can take a little bit of ownership in this quilt. They would be a wonderful husband and family, great friends who did many things to help me. It would be impossible to list all the kindness, love and concern that I have been shown by so many. Thank you to everyone and I only hope that I can return your kindness, love and concern in whatever trials you may face. I love you all.

We have had an interesting week here. Here is the story. I went to my radiation appt. on Tues., and they told me the doctor wanted me to stay and talk to him. So he tells me that from the scan they took before I started radiation that they have discovered I have a growth on my kidney. He said it definitely was not a cyst. This particular report went to a radiologist to be read when it wasn't suppose to. When the radiologist report came back to the radiation place someone put it right into my chart instead of giving it to the doctor. He was not happy. However the radiologist discovered that I had had an ultrasound for something else about a year and a half ago and it showed up on that also. (That doctor never said anything about it to me then. ) My doctor said that it hadn't grown or changed in that year and a half but he wanted me to have an MRI. So I went yesterday for the MRI. This morning we went in and found out that it is benign. They could tell from the MRI that it had all the characteristics of a benign growth that he called something that I could never remember. So I thought after the MRI that I would at least have to have a biopsy and had visions of having my kidney out and more chemo. We had a couple of sleepless nights but all is well. We elected to not tell anyone until we knew something so that you all would not have to go through the stress that we just went through.
The good news is that I am OK and I just had my LAST DAY OF RADIATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I WENT THROUGH THE RADIATION FINE and my skin was not burned or really ever that uncomfortable. So my life goes on. I know that I keep saying I am going to finish my quilt but this time I really am. It is on my quilting machine right now half way done. In one week we head to Ca. to visit family and friends. I am anxious to sit on the beach and listen to the waves.
