Dragons Progress (and more health updates)

Well... the good news on the health front is I am back at work.
The bad news is that I have a few funky side effects from the meds. But we are working through them.
Also being on a vegetarian diet is hard and kinda sucks. We are slowly adding meat back into my diet, but fatty things have to remain gone indefinitely as well as coffee and coke. :(
But I'm not dead yet, so we'll keep on trucking. lol.

In good news... I worked on some Dragons. I am determined to finish this page (which had a goal of end of Feb, but then I got hosptalized). So I am not working on anything else until I get this page done! Should be end of the week I hope!

Excuse my slight bit of laziness for not taking it off the scroll rods but time is precious right now with meds, new food and being more tired than ever. So I just took a pic of the current page top.


As you can see I am very close. Maybe even tonight! But probably late this week.

I am very sorry I have not been getting around to comment on everyone's blogs. I am going to try and get around this week. However I am a bit overwhelmed to try and catch up from four weeks! So forgive me if I only comment on more recent posts (like the last week or so).
As usual thank you all for your lovely comments and well wishes. I appreciate them all so much. We are managing. There is still a long road to go but at least I am not in the hospital anymore.

  10. Mel, I think you're doing amazingly well considering how ill you've been. Not laziness at all about the scroll rods! Bit by bit you're getting a lot done!

    Hope you continue to get better and the side effects soon go away.

  14. Don't worry about commenting just concentrate on getting better and making the adjustments you need too. Those alone can be overwhelming. :(
    I'm glad to hear that you are doing better and back to work but take it slow and rebuild your strength. If you push too hard and over do it you could run your immune system down and get something else.

    Take care and keep stitching.

  15. Good progress!

    A new diet is always difficult, I'm on a low salt diet for my pregnancy. I hope you'll recover soon.
