RitaR Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 May 9th was my first day home in a month. 12 days in the hospital and 14 in rehab. I still wasn't up to par physically, nor mentaly. I just didn't feel up to doing much.. then a bad spell hit for 3 days. That set in, in the middle of one day like a finger snap. That went on for 3 days. I went to bed feeling punk, and just not "up to it" yet. When I woke up on Wed. I couldn't believe how well I felt, the sinus and coughing phlegm were gone and I was feeling Good! Yesterday I finished a QoV block ( 7 of them) some Drunkards Path blocks, some work on the BOM, framed some preprinted blocks, cut some strips for sashing and wound them onto pill bottles, and gave a big sigh from knowing I'm able and willing to do piecing. Today I will find out if I'm up to the long-arm quilting.. Wish me luck! Rita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitaR Posted May 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Thank you, all of you.. it is good to feel better, and be able to do better. I didn't mention that what put me in the hospital to start with was a heart attack. Just left my heart with a fingernail size spot on the back of the heart that doesn't affect the heart in any way. It was not a physically induced heart attack, rather things I had no way to control, like worry, trying to do too much, etc. Just stress. They aren't treating me as a high risk factor, just use the brain to stay as well as I can, in diet, exercises, mental attitude, etc. I pray no one hurts as bad as that heart attack hurt at the time.. not fun in any way. Again, thank you for caring. I will be selling most of the quilting CD's off, as I just can't use them any more. lol, just need the time to make the list. HugZ to All, Rita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
