What do hospitals, daffodils and Youtube have in common? Not much.. but that is what my week has been full of…
Hospitals
Monday night I suddenly got a severe attack of vertigo… head spinning, falling over, throwing up – the whole shebang… and just when DH was away on a business trip!
20 hours after it started I still couldn’t sit or stand up for long, so I called emergency and had my very first ride in an ambulance!
I must say, I was very impressed with the whole process – they were quick and really good. It took two and a half hours from calling emergency to getting a bed…. and then another 5 hours before I got to see the doctor! That last part took a while, but there were obviously more urgent cases that needed attention before I did.
The doctor was really good. She did some tests and decided it was something to do with my ears, probably left over from my head cold last week.
I was sent home with medication and orders to rest… only after they made sure I could walk without falling over…
…. which I have been doing, with my feet up and a quilt on my legs…
Daffodils
From my recliner I can see the daffodils I planted a little while ago on the front porch…
Since I planted them quite late, they are rather stunted… but still pretty…
The tulips are also popping up, I wonder if they will still flower…
YouTube
The first two days of vertigo I could not sit up for a long time, so I was mostly in bed. Day three, however, I was able to sit up and I decided I’d do a bit of “work” while I was “resting” 🙂
I did a bit of “work” on my ipad, finishing up the “Summer” wall hanging so I am planning on starting that next week…
And then I decided to start working on my YouTube channel…
Bet you didn’t know I had one of them, right?
Well, I do and I don’t… I claimed the name back in 2016, and then never got around to doing anything with it.
For the past few years I have been wanting to start doing videos – to accompany my tutorials, blocks of the month and sewalongs. But life is busy, so nothing had come of it.
Last month I decided to sign up for a course, to help me get the ball rolling… and then to make sure I keep at it, I’ve decided to share the news with you guys, to keep me accountable!
This is what my channel looks like at the moment:
Note it says:
“No Subscribers”
“No Videos”
🙂
I thought it would be fun to take that screen shot as a “before” photo… and see how the channel grows..
I also thought it’d be fun to ask you, my lovely blog friends, if you have a youtube account, to go and subscribe – then you’ll get notified when I put my first video up!
I have to tell you I am super excited… but also terrified!
It is going to be a huge learning curve… but I love teaching and I hope that this will be a natural extension of my blog and me being able to share my quilting and stitching obsession with you!
I will still be resting a bit more for the rest of the week and the weekend, but hopefully I will get into the sewing room again soon.
Until then, tell me, what kind of videos do you like watching on YouTube? Tutorials? Sew with Me? Boring Put You To Sleep At Night Videos..?!
I feel your pain with that vertigo. Glad you were able to get care pretty soon. That might not be life threatening, but it can certainly disable you until it goes away. I hate anything that causes nausea and vomiting. I am a “sissy” with that!
Congratulations on your YouTube. I went right over and subscribed and clicked the bell for all. I am interested to watch it from the get go! I think I have a YouTube channel too. I had to do it to help my son with something. I will have to snoop around and see if I can find it.
Oh my goodness what a week you’ve had! So glad you finally went to the hospital and found a good doctor. How did you get home? I’m so excited about your YouTube channel and subscribed to it right away – looking forward to all your content! Hope you feel better and better.
I’m so sorry to hear about the vertigo, and that you ended up having to call emergency. Glad you are resting, and hope things are back to rights soon! You have lovely flowers to look at while you recuperate! Yay for you, making headway on your YouTube channel; I have no idea how to even do something like that (I can’t barely handle Stories on IG). I’m subscribed, and cheering you on from my quilt studio!
My heart goes out to you. My girlfriend had a sever case a couple of years ago. She was referred to a chiropractor. His treatments did wonders and to date she has not had another episode. Take care and stay well. Anxiously awaiting a U Tube tutorial!!

I am sorry about the vertigo incident but it is so good that you checked it out. A co-worker of my hubs recently had a similar incident and it was much much worse. Fortunately they’ve caught things early. A person just never knows!
Good luck with your videos! That’s fun! I’ve had a youtube channel for quite awhile. I started it just as a way to get a few videos (my son’s pole vaulting) to my family (some people’s phones don’t work as well, etc) but I’ve often thought about doing videos. I even bought a light, tripod etc. But I don’t know what I’d do! (It doesn’t help that I do NOT like my voice! LOL)
A little crazy to see daffodils. They are such pretty flowers–but I”m sitting here waiting for the leaves to turn. :o)
prenez soin de vous!pensez àvous reposer tout en continuant vos belles activités.
I hit subscribe as soon as I read your request! Hope you are feeling much better. Tutorials, ‘how to’, tips and techniques would be wonderful! I look forward to your first video.
youtube is not my favorite platform I much prefer Rumble. anyway, I do still view a couple of folks on youtube, one has move extra content to Rumble One is a homesteader on 500 acres as they develop it. The other is Pat Sloan a quilter. If you put your vids a premier like Pat I will be able to tell youtube to notify me, they no longer let me know about anyone else. They expect us all to be on phones, mine I only earn points for gift cards for shopping. Good luck and I look forward to any sew alongs you share.
Hope you feel lots better soon… its a horrible feeling….. Good luck with the video’s – I’m sorry to say I have never had much to do with youtube beside looking for something specific… but I know lots of people do…. but I’ll still subscribe!!

Oh, I hope you are feeling better now, for sure a quilt on the legs is a lot of help and comfort! I’m now one of your new subscribers on the YT channel ;))
Take care
Hope you are better now – Daffidiles are so springlike! My favourite flower.
Yup,I had several severe bouts of vertigo–it’s a misery! I’m glad you rested it out. Fun to have a YouTube video in your future!
Glad you are improving, sorry about your ambulance experience, just catching up on your blog, bit behind in lots of things lately, will update you in messenger
