Continuing our week of posts brought to you by the letter "P"....I got these two, rather different, knits a bit ago when Mood was having a sale on such things. As for the pattern, Rosie loves a simple fit and flare dress and this one is perfect. I cut the 12, made no adjustments, and I'd say it is PERFECT!!! I haven't had the strength of mind and body to cut out the print yet. Hopefully, I will soon!!! I think it will be lovely and quite dramatic on her! We are going to go for it, planning on the maxi length. I think I have enough fabric to do it!

Exercise Reduces Severity of Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy, Oncology Nurse Advisor
Where the author notes: "...approximately 50% of patients who receive taxane, platinum, or vinca-alkaloid–based chemotherapy experience peripheral neuropathy, but effective therapeutic options are limited. ...456 patients with cancer treated with CIPN-inducing chemotherapy regimens. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either chemotherapy or chemotherapy plus the Exercise for Cancer Patients (EXCAP) program, in which patients undergo moderate-intensity walking and resistance exercises for 6 weeks. ... Analysis showed that the increases in CIPN symptoms of hot/coldness in hands/feet and numbness/tingling were lower ... among patients in the exercise arm compared with the control arm."
So, there you go!! Live and sew chaotically!!! - les
Rosie looks so pretty in that dress! You do such a nice job with knits.
ReplyDeleteI was about to say for you to not push yourself with the exercising... until I got to the bottom of your post. Keep going girl! :)
Thanks, Ruthie. It was actually very easy to put together. I hope the next one turns out as well. The material for it is a little more tricky! See? I got REASONS for my madness!!!!! Hee hee!
ReplyDeleteHuh!! First, in your order...that looks like a pattern Jessica would like for both herself and 8 year old Micaylah, though it would have to be cut waaaay down for my Granddaughter, but that's just the right style.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got a decent night's sleep! That's huge!!!! And the exercise news...makes sense and I could spell "exercise" as a four letter word if I try! :) After reading this, I think about my FB post yesterday and Grace making me run and this gets me thinking that now that you say it, my feet, particularly around my toes, ARE starting to feel a little less numb and frozen (no "cold" frozen but "stiff" frozen). You've got me thinking I need to do my way of "running" more. Great incentive! Thank you!
