Before I went to Lisbon, I finished up all the sets waiting for me to work on. Some of them were actually done a while ago, but waiting for other stuff to go with them on their travels. So I'm sending some mail out today (and I think I sent one or two envelopes before I went) - mostly to people to whom I owed a homer card...

Here's a couple of the finished up sets:

I worked on some sets today, and I have plans to send one envelope to Prayer at night. I do realize this a random thread. but I have a fishing and a boxing themed set that needs a 3rd. I cant mail tomorrow, I will be busy. I have a job interview with the city of Phoenix. Down town and it is a long long day. a video a writing test. an board interview.
Then a commute home before rush hour.

I did check the dislikes and see the person who dislikes sport is safe from me as they are on homers. The sets are very vintage or traditional.


Just post if you think you would love them.

[xstitcher]

On the way to cillagiant ashley

The job interview went fine. There were about 50 folks interviewing for the job, I read there were 3 positions and the lady who interviewed me mentioned 5 positions. So there is a chance they will pick me.

My husband gets out of the hospital Friday the 13th. He went in Friday March 16th. So 4 weeks of super care by awesome nurses. He went to the pits of hell and back, But he is looking so much better. He will be considered disabled for one year, and needs a care taker for at least 100 days since the Zero day of his transplant so about the 4th of July.
He cant drive, go in crowds, and we he seems to have about 12 medications that are making him take daily anti rejection, anti seizure, Oh and he now has to take insulin 4 times a day. UGH, he wasnt diabetic when he went in but the steroids and some of the drugs mess with that. They do believe he should be ok and get off insulin in time. Well he and I are now going to be eating very low carb diet. He lost about 15 pounds while he was in there.

But I will mail off those cards to you Ferretgirl.

What kind of transplant did he have, CastleQueen? I guess I have been out of the loop; didn't know anything about it. Wishing him a good recovery. Do you guys have pets? I know when my friend had a triple transplant they told her no NICU kitten tending during the first year. Thanks for sending those to me=)

[CastleQueen5]

He got a stem cell transplant from a 28 year old male donor in Germany to cure his bone marrow cancer called MyelioFibrosis aka MPN. It was a small bag of blood with 7.94 million stem cells in it. It took 45 minutes (adding on the 8 months to get to that point) so the transplant was the easy/fast part. He had to have chemo which was the to hell and back part.

[ferretgirl]

Oh, wow. Isn't modern medicine amazing sometimes? Yeah, chemo is almost as bad as the cancer is. Well, best wishes to you both...

[CastleQueen5]

That is the thing I have been saying that modern medicine is so amazing. They can do so much now days. They can look at your genes and tell you what went wrong. For instance they said some broke of gene 21 and cause 5 and 8 to mutate. I think even 20 years ago someone like him would just die a painful death as the disease took over and they would and I mean maybe they would do something about the pain but maybe not.

Oh my goodness, CQ...healing thoughts for your husband's recovery!

It took me awhile to discover this new thread.
Did finish three sets and have a couple for third artists.

APC w/CQ and prayer at night.
Nature Walk w/silky1150 and heymaggie.
Cat w/katelnorth and Chronic reader.

[mrubyjean]

Obviously, I enjoy RRs...I've been involved since Chardonnay started the Continuous Jam thread in 2009...wow!
I do have a huge number of RR cards.

[Collagaint Ashley]

Thanks, loladog! I love it. Just sent 2 sets started by Prayeratnight to Cindy.

[xstitcher]

CastleQueen5 glad to hear your husband is coming home. It does sound like he has been to hell and back. Hope it is much smoother sailing from here on out.

mrubyjean, you have me beat for time in the group! I think I joined in 2011 and took over the group maintenance in May 2015. (coming up on 6 years soon).

Off homers and have a few to work on. Many stitched and in the next few days going to attach them all and send them on their way to new homes or 3rd players. I forgot how much fun it is while I was sitting on homers working on samplers for family things.

[BluSkyHare]

So happy to hear that your hubby's getting better, slowly but surely!!
