So sorry to hear about your 2 diagnosis & I sincerely hope that everything will work out for you and you will be as healthy as ever. My life changed drastically after being diagnosed with breast cancer 5 years ago & I try hard to take care of myself, exercise and eat healthier. I also stitch a lot more than I used to!! Your feather stitch design is so creative.

I find it quite amazing that you still manage to put together such pleasing colours, despite the presence of cataracts. I have been told by many that after said cataracts are removed, it is surprising how great colour look again. Boy, look out when you have them removed. Sorry, don't mean to be flippant about the whole nasty business. I am so upset for you, I know I would be devastated too with one of the problems, but to have the lot all at once, I do hope you will get them sorted out and soon.

Like you my designs seem to wander off with the needle and thread - though mine don't always turn out as good as yours do!!<br />I love this one, Connie, xConniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13080715570380353299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2933928053397109939.post-9774141235544818882012-01-23T08:56:41.899+10:002012-01-23T08:56:41.899+10:00What a beautiful page you created!

The Type 2 can be manageable, but I know how tough the transition can be, till your body gets used to the idea. Also, exercise more if you can.

My hubby takes a spoonful of vinegar, a spoonful of lemon juice and a spoonful of ground cinnamon, and watches the starchy carbs (bread, potatoes, etc) and he keeps his sugar down very well that way. Maybe it would help you, too. Tastes awful, though!<br />I hope the eye disease is as easy to take care of as the cataracts. Mom didn't need her glasses for several years after her cataract surgery, and only needs them sometimes, now. I suppose the surgery is an annoyance, but really well worth it. <br /><br />Take care of yourself.<br /><br />I don't buy ice cream very often, because if I do, I eat it ALL. I certainly don't need the calories.Faithhttp://www.airynothing.net/Blogs/anblog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2933928053397109939.post-33508753606374013182012-01-22T09:08:26.595+10:002012-01-22T09:08:26.595+10:00Hello Shirley, Your feather stitches are very pret...Hello Shirley, Your feather stitches are very pretty and I really like your design.
