A full day of sewing. Of being tucked away in a room as the sewing machine hummed and hummed and hummed. The quilt top I did on Day 570 for one of the Alaska kids is now an official quilt. And again, I practiced my stitching before turning myself loose on the real thing. I just love how the stitching looks on the bright backing.

Day 575
One thing I've learned over the last couple years is that I have several choices, but the choices are so extreme.
a. addictive pain pills
b. anti-malaria medication
c. injectable medication that can cause TB and lymphoma
d. injectable chemotherapy drugs
e. anti-inflammatory medication that caused my husband's kidneys to shut down
f. a diet that consists primarily of fresh kale/celery/chard/carrot/beet/pepper/cucumber/zucchini/apple juice
g. all of the above
h. none of the above
At times I've tried all of the above and other times have tried none of the above. But now I'm at a crossroads. Based on the symptoms - on the severity of the rebelliousness of my body - I must make a decision. I must take power of my situation, over my pain and stiffness and fatigue and everything else that represents a body out of control.
