Hi girls - hope your day is going well - here I am feeling a bit better. Because of a throat infection I am on antibiotics and that is helping me. I thought that a low in the white blood cells caused tiredness, but that is not the case. There is danger of infection as the defense system is down, that is why I have medicine. The tiredness is a result of the general chemo treatment and that has to take its time. I have rest about it.
The new Trigger challenge called for neutrals. I might be disqualified with the blue - but I loved it as a background for the neutrals on the inspiration photo which is here, thats why I used it.
This morning I received my prize for the Summer themed contest from Her Arts - so happy! This dogwood stamp was one of my choices, (as well as the Pool card stock), I think it will prove versatile. I have admired it so much when the girls on the HA Flickr gallery used it. This is a simple CAS card.
So appreciate your sunny visits - keeps me connected and tuned in with the world!
Have a lovely day!
Jacqueline
Beautiful, Jacqueline, and so very glad to hear that you'll be getting a little something extra to fight the infection; hope you'll be feeling better very soon. And yes, the tiredness is a symptom of the chemo......don't fight it, and try to get as much rest as you possibly can.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear that this session of chemotherapy has been so very tough. And it sounds like the infection is making your exhaustion worse....I hope you soon feel better and have a big turn around within your energy levels...take care and your card is stunning with the dogwood stamped on blue.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry that you have been so unwell Jacqueline, rest plenty so you can build your strenght again. Love your pretty CAS card, looks lovely on the pool card stock.
ReplyDeleteHugs Sally
I'm glad to hear you've got some antibiotics that will help with the infection. Get lots of rest and keep thinking positive thoughts. You've come such a long way and you're almost there. I think about you all the time and am keeping you in my prayers. I love your gorgeous card! Can't wait to see what else you create with the dogwood! BIG HUGS to you, Jacqueline!

Thanks goodness there are antibiotics to help you Jacqueline, hope you will soon feel a lot better! And don't you worry about being disqualified with your fabulous card, see that wall on the photo? It's the same colour of blue you used, lol! Take care, Ira

ReplyDeleteHello Jacqueline
ReplyDeleteI love this card in fact I loved ALL three that you have made.
Antibiotics will work for your infection but unfortunately they do have side effects of their own. Can you take Vitamin C powder without any ADVERSE effects? if you can I suggest you get some.
Thinking of you as always and hope your infection clear soon.
Smiles:)
Your CAS card is so pretty. That is so good to hear that you are feeling better.. Hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteI totally see a little blue in that photo so I say you are good to go - especially since it's such a beautiful card
