Martha's Poncho

After spending awhile in the frog pond with this poncho I have it finished and it is blocking as I type this. This is a pattern that really made me realize you must read the pattern, not read and think you know what you are doing. I am pretty happy with the finished product. I will post a picture after it is blocked. I am not trying to finish off the fortissma socks that I started in Calgary.

Yesterday Dad stopped by after his doctor's appointment. He really does seem to be getting down with all of this. I think that he is going to find these next 2 rounds of chemo hard and long. His hands and feet are really bothering him and then to top it off he is having a disc problem with his back and it is causing a lot of pain in his hip and leg. I am sure that being in constant is very wearing on him and he is just so ready for things to get back to normal. It is hard watching him like this. He has always looked and seemed younger than his years, but with the pain he is in and all he has gone through he really seems to be showing his age. I really do hope that once he has this behind him and he can get out on the golf course, out with his buddies etc that he bounces back to more like his old self.
