All Dry!

Hello!


36 degrees on my patio this a.m.  So...I checked and my wrap was all dry (it wasn't last night).  Guess what is wrapped around me today?




A lovely work shot!


And, my hair is now long enough to pull back!  YAY!  I won't have a sweaty neck this summer (that is if it ever warms up).


On another note...please say prayers or keep fingers crossed or think good thoughts for our son, Colin.  A number of years ago, while in college, he was diagnosed with Lyme Disease.  At first none of the doctors in Pittsburgh would believe it, but the blood work proved them wrong.  He was having joint pain and tremendous swelling in his left knee.  Once diagnosed, he was on antibiotics and then seemed ok.  Once in awhile he has a hand tremor, but nothing major.  Last week he told us he thinks he is having a relapse or a new bout of Lyme Disease.  Lots of joint pain and also in his neck.  He saw a doctor this morning and has to have a bunch of blood work  done.  This is so scary and worrisome.
OK, still busy catching up at work so I need to get rolling.  Hope everyone is having a great week.

    Hoping the best for your son.

    How I miss working! Been a long time. I would love to tie my hair back but I look like a real goof. Wish the sun would warm a bit.

    Oh your wrap looks just beautiful!

    I'll keep Colin in my prayers. A dear friend of mine has Lyme Disease, and occasionally relapses. It's so frustrating because it's so painful and unpredictable. Keep us posted.

    I've heard that Lyme Disease can relapse. Praying the doctors can find a treatment so Colin can get back to his regular activities.

    Love the shawl - it looks fabulous on you.

    I will keep you son in my thoughts. Lyme disease is so scary because of it's unpredictability. Let us know how he is doing.

    The shawl is a success! Prayers for your son; Lyme disease is known to lurk and resurface, unfortunately.
