Three weeks after stopping the mtx injections and yesterday the pain hit all over. I managed to finish putting binding on BJ's quilt and pushed through some laundry. He is 6 and has cerebral palsy, sensory integration disorder, and autism. He seems to like Handy Manny so I found a coloring book and enlarged one of the pages and made a fusible applique. They can play what's this color or where's this tool with it.  It's been 3 1/2 weeks since I had the ultrasound on my liver and still no results! Monday I will try to talk to the office manager. Last night the pain in my side was so bad I had to get out the heating pad and take a percocet. I have a high tolerance to pain so I try not to take narcotics unless absolutely necessary. If that hadn't worked I may have gone to the ER which I never do! The pain settled after about an hour and I was finally able to go to sleep. This morning feels much better in that area.
I've bought fabric for Christian's quilt. He wanted football so I emailed 3 pics and bought all 3 actually because I needed them for the pattern. I will get them cut out and then put it together while we are in Camp Perry later this month. George will be competing in shooting there. I also located fabric for Dylan. He wants horses so I have to wait and get his approval before I order those. Haven't found a specific pattern for him yet though.
The other night on PBS was a show called Quilts of Valor. I make about 3 quilts a year for that project and love doing it. My dad was stationed at Panama Canal during WWII and I always wanted to contribute something when the US was in a war situation so this is my way. It's an awesome program and when you're doing things for others, it does help take away some of your pain.
We finally have some cooler temps but still no measurable rain - hopefully tonight!
