I am in FL for a fast trip this week due to my mother-in-law's illness. She is in a Ft. Lauderdale heart unit in very bad shape. The doctor says there can be improvement but it will be improvement just to go into a nursing home here--no traveling, and no move to Erie to be near the other son. It's pretty heartbreaking--89 1/2 years old, about 75 pounds, a ventilator now transferred to a tracheotomy, on a feeding tube, a purple foot, big skin tears in her very fragile skin, and two large stapled incisions, from one defibrilator coming out, and a new one coming in. Then there is the raging staph infection. This is the consequence of modern medicine.
So this week, I am crocheting on a long scarf for my tactile "fix," and reading new quilt magazines. I did get to have lunch with my dear quilting friend, Judie, whom I haven't seen since March. That was a great thing. And I went to an art store to get more wonderful Schminke soft pastels for when I get home and back to my art.
Everything here is green, green, green from all the rain they got with Trop. Storm Fay. Now there are two hurricanes coming, but we'll be gone by then.
