Judy's Update on MIA ..& Top Sew a-Long

           

                               Judy's MIA--
        I am sorry, I just  stopped blogging.. About a year 
        ago, I began to loose weight [and even though, I needed
        too], We could not figure out why?  I was having 
        stomach issues, nothing tasted right, and I just could
        not eat meat?? Lots of doctor visits... and lots of different
        test.. Medicines were changed.. But still---- no answers..
        And to top all that off,  My family doctor of 35 years 
        retired.. I was really devastated..  The gastro doctor 
        is still working on the stomach issues. But God has blessed
        me, and I am doing much better.
       

        Then--- I went to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned, 
         He saw something on my xray, and did not  know what
        it was? I went to a "new to me" family doctor, He sent
        me for cartoid artery ultrasound , thinking it was an
        artery stopped up.. It showed something on my thyroid,
        so, I had to get a thyroid ultra sound, and  I got the call
        from the family doctor that  it was a fibroid nodule on 
        my thyroid.. It was much bigger than they thought it 
        should be.. So he sent me to an endocrinologist for a 
        biopsy.. The biopsy came back that it was NOT cancerous.
        Thank God.. The thyroid doctor said, It was not cancer,
        But, would have to be checked yearly, to make sure it
        did not turn in to cancer, because of the size of it.

         I am doing better, I am eating better [but still not  like
         before}..  OK... Enough of this , lets get back to  the 
         sewing, organizing, menu planning, grandchildren 
         updates.. and fun!!

          Top Sew a Long-- I finished my first  top, and  plan to 
          get  it photographed this weekend. I will share soon.  
          
          I have really missed my blogging friends, and  missed 
          sewing and blogging.

          Have a blessed day..
