look beyond the condition, and are willing to offer patients an option. No guarantees, but also no lingering question if something more could have been done. Carole was wild eyed yesterday as during the delirium episodes, but the virtual visit with this hope-giving doctor went well. He is willing to try to save one of her legs. Puzzling, since other highly respected doctors would not. So Pittsburgh will be the new trip for two surgeries and we've heard good things about Passavant. We. are. grateful. Once the pacemaker is replaced next week, we will be on track for a resolution to these last six months. The amputation of the left and possibility of not surviving the surgery with her failing heart, was the same opinion as others.
You can see why fudging would not have worked with the trees. WAY too much re-charting. So I will continue tonight, if I can concentrate. My CA cousin in a wheelchair because of a massive stroke following surgery, had a heart attack last night, still waiting for update. She spent every fall with us in PA to see the colors and we had such a good time. But not since the paralysis. My cousin here has had driving privileges revoked because of her dementia. Honestly, to speak with her, you wouldn't recognize her condition. Many times if not living with the person, you don't know if what they are saying is delusion or fact.
Be back tonight with the winner. As I look at my first finish on 28 count, I am hankering to stitch again with different colors. Very surprised at the low number of entries. Since this last change with the blogger format, I don't know if the number of a little over a hundred is the actual reader count. Before, it was over a thousand so I don't know if it's accurate, nor do I know how to find out.
Later!

It is so wonderful when you find a compassionate doctor who is willing to try. Best wishes to you and Carol and your ill family members. My mother has dementia. It is still mild. Some days everything seems normal and others she is quite ornery. So sad that you had take out the tree. Removing stitches seems to be happening to me more and more also. I never made so many mistakes before. I hope you have a peaceful week. Hugs.
Marly, I’m so happy to hear that Carole, and you, finally got some optimistic news. I’m sorry about the tree! But, try to think about how much fun you’ll have stitching it again! My petunias are getting a little leggy but I don’t think I could ever do to them what you did to yours! But, yours are beautiful, as always! Cherie in WI
That's a lot of frogging!!!
Prayers for all you family members...you, too :-)
At last good news from this doctor and praying that Caroles leg can be saved!
So sorry you had to frog the tree and start all over the trees.
Hope you will feel better soon. Take care and stay save.
A big hug,Truus from Holland
I’m definitely going to have to start following some of these blogs, I just recently got into reading blogs and I’m absolutely loving them so far.
Gutter replacement columbus ohio thank you!
Thanks for sharing. Always a pleasure to read.
Yay!! So glad there is finally some hopeful news on the Carole front. Fingers crossed... And I think you will be glad you decided to frog the tree in the long run....much too intriguing of a piece to stash away and if fudging wasn't an easy option, you made the only good choice. As pissed off as I am facing a a significant amount of frogging, there is something satisfying once it is done and over. Perhaps it is the feeling that I actually "fixed" something (and dang sure I won't screw it up twice)...or perhaps it is just what I tell myself to stop me from going completely crazy. Sorry to read of your cousins' health.....This getting old crap ain't for sissies. ~Robin~
Well, this made my day (I'm way behind on reading as our grandson was here!). So glad to hear that the Pittsburgh doctor is willing to try, Marly. If I can help on this end--please, please know I would love to do anything. I'M SERIOUS!!! (I am not a weirdo either--ha ha :) Please let me know...
