The strongest women I know

Ok, so I am here hooked up to an iv getting fluids and waiting to get a dose of chemo and looking at a beautiful quilt that a friend made for me. Before I left home to come here I was at a friends b-day bash and her step-mom Teri suprised me with a beautiful picture quilt. I know Ang supplied the pics and managed to hide the suprise from me (this being the first time ever) and Meredith aka Chrissy also had a hand in it. I have never had someone do something like that for me. It is beautiful and comforting and the best part is that I spread it over my legs so when the nurses come in with their big needles they stop for a moment to look at the pics and ask questions before they stick me!!!! Woo hoo thanks for the distraction Teri. Pics are down below.
I did not sleep well last night due to leg cramps and mom's snoring. Whoooo was she gettting it. LOL
I finally got to meet the beautiful Amy! She is a sweetheart. Amy is just finishing her transplant and will be going home tomorrow. I caught her just in time. She was able to give me so much info and hope to do as well as she has. She sailed right through the process and set the bar really high for us wimps. She is a hoot though and I am blessed to have met her. Her kiddos made her a really cute bunch of fake flowers (since we cannot have real ones), and since she is leaving tomorrow she brought them over to my room to brighten things up. AWWW. I am living next door to her till tomorrow. I feel a wonderful friendship blossoming. Keep her and her family in your prayers! I am adding a few pics. One of them is of Nancy (the dear small package of dynamite that had a transplant over a year ago) my sister Rona and myself, and the other is of Amy and myself that was taken last night when mom and I came to visit her. I am lucky to have them in my life and wish them the best and happiest days. Thank you both for taking the time in your hectic lives to share your wisdom and encouragement with me. God bless!!!!!
