Some Good News!

Recently, my friend Darlene and I each donated a couple quilts to a health organization for a silent auction.

For me, this was a test run to see if they would sell and be wanted.  Not everyone is into quilts .... I know, I know .....

Anyway, they all sold and for the highest bidding prices!  Woohoo!

These were the quilts that I donated.

Considering that hubby is using our health system more these days, it was a good cause to donate to.  I will have a couple more for next year.

Regarding hubby, he is falling less these days .... which I'm so happy about.  I didn't know what would await for me when I woke up in the morning.  A physiotherapist is coming to our home once a week to give him exercises to help make his legs and core muscles stronger.  We are just starting to see results.

He is also receiving help from PSW's twice per day now.  It just got to the point where I just couldn't give him the proper care that he needed.  I had to laugh one day when a new PSW came to visit.  He didn't know if it was me or hubby he came to help.  When I told him it was hubby, he said that he could also take care of me at same time.  That is how poorly my health has become.  I'm just so weak and tired these days.

I did make a trip down to Toronto to see a neuro surgeon.  He will be doing a muscle biopsy to help find out what is my problem.  I'm just waiting for a date.  This way, hopefully, an answer will be found and if there is a treatment or not.  I just need to know.

My sister and I will be visiting a few local nursing homes in the coming weeks.  An application for hubby will be submitted so that he can get on to a list for down the road.  If I go into a retirement home, hubby may not be able to come with me as he is on the cusp of a home vs. nursing home.  

We are working with a co-ordinator that makes things happen for us as she knows our goal is to stay in our home for as long as possible.  When my sister and her went to check our home for safety, she saw my quilts and was totally impressed.  I could hear them laughing and asked my sister why?  My sister then showed the lady all the quilts in the bookcase in my bedroom and she said that there were LOTS more in other places in the house!  LOL

So, that was my good news and not so good news ...

Cherish your day, cherish your life, cherish your freedom and cherish your country.  My country will ALWAYS, ALWAYS be CANADA!

Elbows up, eh!
