This is the last big project for the year. Old carpet finally GONE, and new vinyl flooring installed. This is the family room.
The is a small pass-thru area usually piled with "stuff". I need to find 2 strong men to slide the heavy cabinets 16 inches the other way, but I'm close to the end of this project. The plan is to add 1 area rug here, bright and graphic, to give the room color.
Here is the larger part of family room, needing a 2nd area rug.
A quilt photo ... this one is probably my favorite of many.
Yes, this is my arm, totally black and blue after procedures following a catheter and stent, after the ER said was a heart attack. I think the right name is a PCI. I was whisked from the local ER to the Air Link Helicopter in the middle of the night, too dark to see a view, to a Cardiac Hospital 3 hours (by car) east of my home. Local hospitals can only do so much. We (me and crew) arrived in 55 minutes, squeezed into that amazing little beast. Frankly, I was so interested in the flight, I had no fears about the reason. By mid-morning Tuesday, I was in surgery, all of 45 minutes, and awake, and back home Thursday, thanks to a dear friend who came all that way and then drove me home, weak, but alive and feeling tolerable. The catheter and stent into my heart to clear out blocked artery kinda messed up my sewing arm for a while, but I AM RECOVERING! Drop me a line if you have other questions. You might remember an earlier visit to ER said Anxiety, but they did recognize immediacy the second visit. I am blessed to have had the foresight to get to ER in time.
glad you got your stent in time..i've had 5-6 catheterizations...and a bypass...too far gone for a stent...it is amazing what can be done these days...
ReplyDeleteOH Elaine! I thought that when you had mentioned a diagnosis of "anxiety" last time!!! I am so grateful that you are fixed...did they mention which artery? Cardiac nurse, here!
ReplyDeleteGoodness Elaine, I don't think you can pack much more excitement into your week than new carpet AND a hospital emergency.
ReplyDeleteI'm so very glad you're home and doing better! Thank goodness for the friend who was able to pick you up and carry you home!
Take care of yourself.

Oh, I'm so glad you got to the ER and they diagnosed you correctly and did the stent. Our SIL had the same thing three weeks ago, only it was his aorta ("widow maker") that was 90% blocked. Stay well and whatever the doc says... makes a difference. Sending hugs and prayers...
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad they diagnosed you right this time and there was a quick fix for it.
ReplyDeleteYour new floor looks great and it will be fun to see the area rugs you choose.
Oh, my! Glad the treatment was immediate and effective.
ReplyDeleteYour new floor looks great...and I like the quilt, too.
So glad you paid attention to the warning sighs. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteOh, my! That's a little bit too much excitement, don't you think? I'm so glad all went well. Recover well (and don't over do.)
ReplyDeleteWow .... what an experience, for sure! Glad to hear that you were diagnosed correctly this time and you are recovering!
ReplyDeleteLove that log cabin quilt!
Oh dear! What an experience! Thank goodness there are people who jump into action for us when we need it! Take it easy! Rest!
ReplyDeletePraise the Lord you are ok. Love yours floors, quilt and love reading your blog. Stay well.
ReplyDeleteGood to know that you had that 'flight for life' on standby! May you feel better each day, Thank you for sharing your beautiful quilts- keep going!
ReplyDeleteHi Elaine, long time since I last updated links (newer 'puter to blame for my lack of memory), LOL. Amazed at how much I had missed contact with this on-line quilting group (Quilters Bee). So glad you are doing better now. Love your updated quarters and quilt. Sorry about the issues you are having with fabric dies (guess that is what happens when we 'hoard' our scraps, LOL. So sorry to read about your hubby and my failure to timely extend my heartfelt sympathies to you.
ReplyDeleteDid you ever have an opportunity to visit the Quilt Trail that I spoke with you about when I visited Utah several years ago?
