The hospital is about 60 miles round trip and we have been there almost every day for two weeks. So the miles are adding up. We also go Saturday and Sunday for an injection to help her platelets. It's really rough having cancer especially if you have no one to take you when you are so weak and shakey. But we will get her through this and with God's help a cure.

My friend had her second round of chemo and felt a little better today, we even watched a movie. Weather is real good today sunny and about 45 deg. Have not done much sewing having to go daily for lab, injections and chemo x 2 days.

It's snowing, the softest falling snow flakes and it is just beautiful. Had a good night rest and no lab and do not have to go anywhere today so will just enjoy the day and finish my sewing so I can catch up with everyone. I hated getting behind but it could not be helped I will finish today and then will wait for Tuesday.

Settling into a routine, lab everyday and the hospital is about 30 miles away. She has Chemo for 12 hours on Monday and Tues 2 1/2 hrs, will get some shopping done I need about 8 different yarns for projects that I am going to be doing. Found my book for my Tast stitches, I have not taken pictures yet but will soon, almost caught up on my stitching and will post it on my site soon. It has gotten real cold in the 30s and supposed to get colder.

I have unpacked and things in their place, except for boxes of needlework and supplies. Itching to get to sewing and catching up on the TAST weeks that I am behind. Have been helping my friend get settled after her hospital stay, still weak and getting therapy on her hands and legs due to the Guillame Barre. We sit and visit and chat and catching up and at times we just and watch tv. I have been knitting while visiting and have finished several more scarves for her since it will get real cold again. We have been in the 50's which is a heat wave for them, but it will get cold again. We are settling into somewhat of a routine, but there will be lots of Dr. & Lab visits. Have found the grocery store and Walmart and Burger King so I am all set.

I arrived in Illinois on Sunday afternoon. Two and a half days driving 1954 miles but we arrived safe and it was so good to see my friend Nina. Then that night I got food poisoning and have been sick, sick. Today is 24 hours later and I am finally able to keep a little water down. I am now 3 weeks behind in TAST and plan to get started stitching. I received my handmade book and as soon as I take pictures I will post them, I love it it is going to be wonderful and am so glad I found it. My son-in-law unloaded my car and then he flew out yesterday for home. Can't thank him enough for dropping everything to help get me here. It looks like I may be here for 9 months but we'll see how her chemo treatments go.

I leave on Friday am and am packing all of my sewing and knitting projects so that I have alot to do, along with taking my friend for physical therapy and chemo. Very anxious to see her and see for myself how she is doing. she is to be getting out of the hospital in the next few days so she should be home when I get to the farm. My Yorkies are following my footsteps because they see me packing and they know I am going somewhere and they are worried they aren't going with me. I have not received my handmade book yet so I can start putting my sewing on it, I will be playing catch up to the TAST stitches of the last 2 weeks but will post as soon as I have pictures.
