HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL

Thanks for all the sweet concerns, & the prayers it's been a rough week but getting better, had a longer stay than expected, after surgery when the were pulling the tube out they said I coughed at the wrong time which caused pulmonary edema which is rare in every 200 which landed me in ICU for a few days, my blood pressure kept dropping, my breathing kept getting too shadow for them , high temps, almost set up pneumonia,among other things, I am so thankful there is a God that watches over me when I am not able to reach out for help, a one day simple surgery turned out to be a 4 day night mare, they wanted to keep me an extra 2 days but let me go home if I promised to drink a lot of fluids but I tell ya , it's hard to do as they also fixed a hernia & repaired it while they were in there, 2 sips & I'm full which is not good,lol something as simple as eating jello wears me down but I'm a lot better than where I was 4 days ago





it's so good to be back in my comfort zone

SAYING GOODBYE TO THE GREEN...

AND HELLO TO THE YELLOW!

The sewing room makeover has been a long time coming, with 2 days till surgery a sweet friend came over & helped get it all started, being determined to do my first show in 3 weeks we decided it needs to be where I can get to stuff easier & not have to pull, lift or tug to find supplies LOL, still a ways to go , I vote for completion today ,so we'll see LOL

here is what the walls are now, they're a darker green that shows in the picture with a Victorian doll border, & boy is that giving us fits to come off LOL



this is the new main color, then there's the trim & cabinets etc to deal with
here are the paint sample cards of the 3 colors I'm going with, they're darker than they're showing in the pic, once everything back in place they'll show their true colors



this will be the curtains, there is a regular window & a bay window, lots of ideas to go with there so curtains may not happen till after surgery LOl
