T sTands for Tuesday on Monday

Hi Everybody!

Hope you all had a pleasant weekend. After a stressful week, including a trip to the hospital in an ambulance with flashing blue lights - see my weekend post - I had a quiet weekend and hope that things remain so this week. Today we will be celebrating Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday link party, so here a warm welcome to all of the lovely ladies who join us. I didnt get round to visiting everybody, sorry, it was just all too much. Today I have an Easter piece I made a few weeks ago, which is also my ticket for the T party, as my bunny is sitting in a pretty cup. My cups are usually filled with coffee but at the moment I'm learning to drink Fennel tea!  I am also linking to my spring challenge at AJJ:

The text says 'oil and flour were sold out so I had to take what was available!'

Have a great start in the week, take care.

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

Hope you are all doing well. I got some of he results from the heart examinations,  the main trouble seems to be caused by  Atrial fibrillation, which explains my irregular pulse. The left side of my heart is also weaker than the right. Then on Thursday afternoon I got the next shock. I was eating my lunch in the dining room, and suddenly felt strange, I couldn't catch my breath and I must have passed out for a short time. They took me into my room, and 2 doctors came, did some examinations and then decided I had to go to hospital to be checked. After a few minutes 2 men from the ambulance service arrived, carried out an ECG in my room, and then removed me from my room on a stretcher. I was taken wih blue lights to the main part of the hospital, which is just across the road. I'm sure I could have managed to walk, but procedures are procedures and need to be kept. I was taken to the A&E and was really scared, but the staff there were wonderful, I was seen to straight away, had lots of tests, was connected to a ECG and a blood pressure monitor and given a drip in my arm. They also took blood from my ear and did some swab tests to make sure I didn't have MRSA, a very nasty bug. Then I was monitored for 4 hours, and as my vital signs were all vital again they said I could come back to the clinic here. And once again, I had to be taken in an ambulance because it is procedure and that seems to go before common sense. Anyway, the long and the short of it is that I am continually short of breath and  am only allowed to walk in the garden here  and mustn't leave the garden/park grounds on my own. UGH!  I feel like I've been put on a leash! Okay,  I know it's for my own good, but I still don't like it. So that was the short description of Thursday afternoon. I still feel very slow, and am going to have to reorganize my life a bit when I get home. Rant over!

There are still some people  I have not visited, sorry, the circumstances were against me, but slowly I'm getting there!

Thursday/Friday post

Hi Everybody!

Yesterday after I got back from the heart exam I needed to do something colourful. So I grabbed a huge sheet of paper (A2) and had fun rubbing soft pastel chalks into it, which really did me good. It was so nice to have dirty fingers again! After I had sprayed it with fixative I doodled the face with acryl markers, and then painted the little flowers with acrylics. I added a quote from Rumi: 'Let the waters settle, and you will see the stars, moon and flowers mirrored in your being' This piece full of spring colours is meant for my spring challenge at AJJ

The magnolia trees are all full in bloom:

I will let you know as soon as I get my results from the cardiologist.

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Wednesday post

Hi Everybody!

I had my heart examination, and all went well, but as yet I have no results. The doctor at the other hospital has to send them to the doc here, so I hope she will know something tomorrow. 

Today I am sharing another piece for my spring challenge at AJJ:

Have a great day, take care,
