Pattern by Mary Corbet of Needle ‘n Thread

I’ve been itching to get back to cross stitching for a while now. I have one all planned out for a friend, but I can’t find my white aida cloth to start. At least, I think it’s big enough for what I need. Not working makes things challenging when needing to purchase supplies. The black aida I purchased earlier this year was just a bit to narrow for what I need, so I decided to repurpose it. To snowflakes, of course! Did a little Google search, found this free pattern and here I am. Also, black aida is a bitch to work on. it feels like a miniature litebrite. I’m a quarter done with it after starting on Friday, which is weird to think. It’s been good for keeping my hands and mind busy, especially with the wife having seizures off and on all day. She was supposed to have an ambulatory EEG this weekend, but our outlets in our 1950s house are too small to accommodate what the tech needed to plug the camera into. Now we get to schedule a 72 hour EEG at the hospital in the middle of respiratory disease hell season. Weeee!

In better news, our plumbing is getting replaced tomorrow. Or rather, the plumbing replacement process starts tomorrow. Jackhammering at 8 am! Who doesn’t love getting woken up to jackhammering right next to the bedroom? Although I just thought of something. Wife’s seizures have been sound triggered as well; this could get really messy.

The saga continues! Today my wife was supposed to get set up for an ambulatory EEG. The woman came out to set it up, but our outlets are too old and can’t accommodate the equipment. Her neurologist is now setting up a 72 hour EEG hospital stay.

At least our lives are never dull.

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes for my wife. We’re home and she’s on some meds until her EEG this weekend. I’m actually on hold with her doctor now to figure out a plan med wise.

Yesterday was stressful but I think the time at home with no answers and a tiny med supply for possible seizures is scarier.

I know we’ll get through this and get some answers. Just need to keep moving forward.

We are finally in a room. It took 4 hours, which isn’t the worst we’ve experienced. Luckily they’re calling her neurologist. Maybe we’ll actually figure this ish out.

Wife and I are at the ER. She’s been having what her neurologist (our neurologist? We see the same guy) think are seizures. She’s been having small tremors off and on since February. We think it was caused by Paxil, which she rapid detoxed from under medical care a few months ago.

Today the whole body tremors/shaking are constant. With all her medical issues, I try to stay positive and strong. We do it for each other.

Hubby is at home getting cleaning done for the plumbing. It’s just another day in our life. It’s weird.

They came over to get her vitals updated. The tech/nurse said she wasn’t having seizures because she’s conscious through them. But he’s “not a doctor.” Never mind that her neurologist thinks they could be. If someone can’t diagnose legally, they really shouldn’t be telling a patient and family that they aren’t experiencing something they could easily be experiencing.

Sigh.

We’re still in the waiting room. It’s insanely busy. And the tremors are getting worse. Yay for cold and flu season…
