Cotton and Steel revisited...

With the children away...Grandma should play??.

Instead, I did nothing.  I slept and sat in my recliner by Mr.O'Quilt's bedside while he slept.  

I read a mystery and dozed off. I guess my To-Do list will still be there later.

Tonight with my little darlings asleep, I got the mojo going. 

 Cotton and Steel, you might say..

I have a girl friend who is absolutely  Cotton and Steel.

.Because of her, 

I started piecing the backing...in hopes that I can get it basted on Wednesday night.

Randomly piecing a backing is so much more fun

 than following a pattern of someone else's fabric and design.

Grateful that I have some clarity after a weekend of rest.  Voila..backing process.

The weekend update on my Dear Man.  He slept the entire weekend..

While you were sleeping Dear..your neurotic wife got online and Googled ....

 ALS  and symptoms of respiratory insufficiency.

Mr. O'Quilts has:

Orthopnoea...shortness of breath while lying down  

Dyspnoea...shortness of breath when talking or moving.

Disturbed night time sleep

Excessive daytime sleepiness

Difficulty clearing secretions

Difficulty swallowing

Inability to eat or drink through his mouth

Fatigue

Depression

Poor focus and concentration

Nocturia..more urination at night than in the day

A weak cough

Sweating

Difficulty talking.
Almost complete paralysis as he lies in his hospital bed.
 

So why?? did I have to Google this?  None of this is good...none at all.

So what to do about it...absolutely nothing..that is the problem..ugh

On one of the sites there was a Caregiver helpline...It said...caregivers must accept what they cannot change...again..again and again...

He does not even have to mouth the words anymore to me...

I know them....Go Sew...
