On Saturday it will be time to turn the clocks back for the winter. Darker nights means more craft time, not such a bad thing as it's coming to that time of year when people's thoughts are turning to Christmas gift giving.
This week I've fully finished off two little ornament designs from CCN
My newsagent got me a copy of the latest JCS ornament magazine, I picked it up Tuesday. It was £7.50 from him, so not a bad price.
I'm pleased I've got something nice/new to read as yesterday I was at the hospital for an ultrasound with guided steroid injection into my foot (all part of the various issues with the ongoing RP). The procedure went well, but unfortunately, I ended up in the heart unit as I had a bad reaction and they thought I had had either a heart attack or blood clot.
Many, many tests, ECG's, scans, Xrays, bloods etc and various consultants came to see me and I was sent home late. They think it was a reaction to the anaesthetic they used and it got into my bloodstream causing the issues.
Back home, resting, and today the pain has eased and the breathing is much better........ a simple procedure and then wham, a sigh of relief and give thanks for hospital staff and their superb attention, skill and patience in the scariest of times. Well done NHS!
Marlene, you were in my thoughts yesterday as I lay there and I was hoping your DH is improving after his recent issues.
Perhaps i'll get a lot of stitching and reading done whilst I am resting this next week?
Love and blessings
Julie
Oh my goodness, that must have been scary for you and your family, it never rains but it pours. I do hope you're fully recovered from it soon, whatever it was. I love those little ornaments, I could be inspired to stitch some myself were it not for the fact that I'm useless as making things up.
ReplyDeleteOh poor you. Hope all is well now. The magazine looks very interesting.
ReplyDeleteJulie xxxxxxx

ReplyDeleteI am sorry you are having a nasty time ,hope you are feeling better and resting up.

You must have had quite a scare at what you thought was a routine appointment. Thankfully you came good in the end and hopefully, with plenty of rest you'll be feeling much better soon. X

Happy that the hospital experience had a good ending. Be sure to rest. Great finishes.
ReplyDeleteOh Julie so many people I know are having health issues. I'm so sorry this happened to you and I hope you are better very soon. Enjoy your rest/crafting time.
ReplyDeleteOh dear Julie, that must have been worrying, I'm glad it all worked out OK, and hope you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteThe ornaments are beautiful, I love the addition of the little stocking charms along the bottom of the first one
Oh my goodness, Julie! I've been there, and it is frightening - I'm so glad that you are okay. I'm keeping you in my thoughts and sending good wishes and hugs to you. Take care and rest.
ReplyDeleteI love your ornament finishes - so sweet.
That sounds like a very scary day, Julie. I am glad it wasn't a heart attack or blood clot--I'm sure you and your family were very worried! I hope things hold steady now and you can just rest, read, and craft for a bit :)
ReplyDeleteYour little ornaments are darling and I hope you're finding some new ones to stitch up in the latest JCS Ornament issue!
Take care now and happy November!
Oh Julie I'm praying you are feeling much better now. That must have been so scary. I love your ornaments...so special. RJ@stitchingfriendsforever
ReplyDeleteo my, so many tests! I'm glad they took good care of you and you're back home to work on all the lovely ornaments in your new magazine.
ReplyDeleteI had to google "newsagent" as that is not a common term here! Perhaps in NYC there are some but out in the boonies, totally unheard of. That's a nice price for that one.
