So glad you are doing well and I understand about the after effects. My daughter-in-law is a nurse and she was vaccinated and still got Covid. She had a hard time getting over the extreme fatigue and now has scarring in her lungs.

I will keep my eye out for her/him. <br />I like the colors of the jungle quilt too... but that's because I lean towards earth colors rather than bright. The only reason the pandemic scrap quilt is bright is because it is using pieces and colors I hardly ever use (mostly pieces I used to make little pet quilts for family and friend's cats and dogs to lay on).Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-86463218070835089492021-09-19T07:45:37.996-07:002021-09-19T07:45:37.996-07:00Like Doug, I had to look up Hashimoto disorder.

I have my fingers crossed s/he will remain safe.<br /><br />I don't have any health issues that would preclude my getting any of the COVID vaccines (and I am fully vaccinated), but from everything I've heard from medical professionals via news, there's an extremely small population that would be allergic to the ingredients in any of them. I would suggest that your daughter get a second opinion, if she's comfortable doing so. Regardless of her choice, I hope she remains safe and well (you too!).<br /><br />P.S. I especially love the colours of your jungle quilt. :-)Keahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809655107065918944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-68412539196020033512021-09-18T15:01:56.410-07:002021-09-18T15:01:56.410-07:00"once we are through this, if ever." - s...
