Checking in....
I check in just about every day & would love to see more action here. I
haven't done much quilting lately. DH has Parkinson's Disease and has developed some dementia. He has been in a wheelchair for several years & has been requiring more and more help, especially transferring between bed & chair. It was getting too much for me, so I moved him to a nice assisted living facility at the end of March. Three weeks later, he ended up in the hospital for a week and was then moved to a skilled care facility for rehab. The current plan is to move him into a memory care facility later this week. Although it is nice to be able to leave the house without thinking about him, it has been stressful for both of us. He is not happy in the skilled care facility (a very nice one, I think), so I hope it goes better in the memory care place. All of that means very little time for me for quilting, etc. Julia in MN |

The dementia has gotten worse, then she fell about 7 weeks ago and broke a hip. With the dementia, I don't think she will be happy anywhere, but I know she is cared for. Maybe you will come up with a small quilting project you can carry when you visit with DH. Barbara in SC --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |

I am sure he didn't want to go there but wanted to be home with you. It is just too much for you after a while. Maybe once he gets settled in this new place, you can get some quilting done. Sandy$ |
