Yep. I am. My testing is complete, seeing the doctor this afternoon, another (the third) slow developing auto immune disease is confirmed. Slow developing. Sure. Full blown high numbers within months, just like the other two. I don't care how many nurses post their opinions on FB, I have three doctors, a law firm, and thousands of patients that have been compensated for developing auto immunes from a vaccine. The odds? Extremely low, one in one million estimated, but not everyone associates or recognizes it could be the cause. Guillain-Barre is the most common, and happened to Frank's mom. Again, the risk is
extremely low. But am I ticked off? Furious. This not only affects me for the rest of my life, it affects my health coverage and drug coverage.
I'm not the only one feeling poorly. Budman is sneezing, very bad eyes, I am sure he has a respiratory problem. We're taking him in tomorrow morning and unfortunately, the spray I bought to calm them is not helping. This is a mobile vet, and he will come here to check Missy and (hopefully) Petey. I am taking photos to show their size so he can determine what portion of a Valium pill is needed to calm them down so he can handle. He will also pass the photo on to other vets for a possible ID. Petey is doing fine, slight limp, his paw injury drained and he's back to himself. But he does have some other injuries from fighting. He sits and watches the birds, does not even try to hunt, and I wonder if he has been declawed.
My eyes were bad yesterday, but my errors are making it difficult for me. I am used to a row of alphabets! My first error was leaving a row off the chimneys, raising the house. When starting the second page on this side, I spotted another. This (butterfly?) should have one row between it and the grass. The motif was split between two pages but I stitched it entirely from the first. What the hell did I do? It was not as charted, the eyelet areas were wrong, and when I frogged the top part and stitched correctly, it doesn't fit. I had to leave off the top row. To match/balance, I left the bottom row off too.
And here's the math question for you so I don't have to interrupt my pounding sinus headache for something productive. How many rows do I need to compensate before stitching the green parrot beneath? Three seems too easy an answer. Can't judge placement from the tree because that was a mess and may not be proper either! I think my best solution is to frog the entire butterfly (again) and start over. Leave two spaces beneath that funky grass and I should be OK. It looks easy to be off when motifs are all over the place but I'm concerned that starting with three rows may lead to a disaster by the time I reach the bottom area, I'm sure there will be more. What say you????

So sorry about all your auto-immune issues. Just really sad to think this is something that you will always be dealing with.
Hugs to you...and I can't help you with your cross stitch issue :(
First of all, wishing you lots of 'feeling good' days!
As for your errors in stitching, here's what I do. If it doesn't mess up the rest
of the stitching or make something look wonky, just leave it! No one will know
but you. You always have lovely stitching.
I have health issues, too and I think my stitching is the best medicine.
Many blessings.....
Sorry to read that you are having health issues and stitching problems. Hopefully both can be resolved.
Marly, I am so sorry that a vaccine caused you such health problems. I pray they can do something to help with the symptoms.
When I have a "counting error" and know it, rather than frogging I'll try to leave it and not count something else from it. Does that make sense? Most times it bugs me so much that I end up taking it out and making it right.
Take care.....Cherie in WI
Marly dear, how well I understand your ire...especially when you took the precaution
with the vaccine, only to have it turn on you. I pray that this autoimmune situation can be resolved so that it will not be ongoing. I hate to stoke the fire,
but someone should be held accountable...or is that a discarded idea? When I make
an error on a motif-scattered design too extensive to change, I figure the limits of
the space to be worked and re-set the motifs in a centrally balanced design and work each one separately within the space remaining. With the limits established. you can proceed without going "outside the lines"..Who but you would ever guess the adjustment? Praying for your peace, comfort and healing, dear one.
Thoughts and prayers for you Marly.
I hope all goes well with the Vet visit. So sorry there are so many problems with the kitties.
I can't help with the stitching quandary...........Sounds like your other friends have a solution.
I'm just doing Valentine pillows to sell at the consignment shop. Not getting what they are really worth (considering my time put in) but that's okay. Life goes on !
Son going to an interview today. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Blessings and hugs,

I also vote to leave the butterfly as is but that’s kind of the way I roll...with cross stitching anyhow. I am so very sad that you are dealing with autoimmune issues especially how they have been caused. I did not get a flu shot this year despite my PCP claiming the risks of the flu out weigh any other risks. I told her about you and she seemed unconvinced that the immunization caused your Sojourns. Perhaps I didn’t explain it correctly but I’m sufficiently scared enough not to get one despite her opinion.
I'm sorry things are going from bad to worse health-wise, Marly. I am really getting nervous any time I need a shot now and just had my pneumonia vaccine yesterday (my reward for turning 65 on Thursday).
Did you know that my husband had Guillain-Barre Syndrome back in 1996? It was SO scary and caused by eating undercooked chicken at Outback Steakhouse which caused food poisoning due to campylobacter-jejuni bacteria. It was a frightening time for us as he began losing feeling in his feet which spread up to his elbows. Thankfully, it stopped there and receded. I hope your auto-immune diseases can somehow be controlled, too, some day ♥
