Monday This and That… on a Tuesday 🙂

I somehow forgot it was Monday yesterday… so we’re a bit late here!!

LAST WEEK’S THIS AND THAT

Last week once again did not go according to plan… I spent Wednesday night at the ER ~again~ with DD who was having her third gallstone attack in a week. They sent her home with pain meds ~again~ and murmurs of sympathy but nothing else. She is on the waiting list for surgery and until it’s her turn she just has to suffer apparently. At the moment she can only drink protein shakes – anything else, even a plain potato, seems to set her off.

I have to say that our public health care system in town has gone downhill. Waiting 8 hours in emergency is crazy… and some people were waiting longer. DD was born in that hospital 25 years ago, and although the population has almost doubled, the emergency department is still the same. We really need another public hospital, but like that will happen anytime soon. Not much we can do about it, except get frustrated.

Rant Over.

On with last week…

I got the binding machine sewn on Jean’s quilt:

Now it is next to my chair in the lounge room while I do the rest by hand. It is going a little bit slower because the fabric she gave me was some sort of blend, and it is hard getting the needle through… but I don’t mind doing binding and I will get there.

I sewed up Canning Time:

It was the easiest block so far, and no unpicking needed – amazing!
