A Quiet Day
The ole cowboy felt what he had been through yesterday. For the most part he was “out” of it for the procedure. He remembers how narrow the table was and that he couldn’t put his hands over his chest to rest them from hanging down the sides of the table. A nurse with cold hands would put his arms back down. According to Dennis, it will be a while before he gets the buzzing sound out of his mind from the laser work as it was being done on the artery in his left leg. Amazing what has been accomplished for a quality of life that would not have been thought of not too many years prior.
While Dennis napped this morning, I put together an oven meal for tonight’s supper. It’s cool enough outside that having the oven on for supper won’t heat the house up for the entire night.
I did do a studio visit this afternoon. I managed to get the binding cut and pressed in the double fold method. I usually like the binding cut on the length of the fabric, but there was not enough after the backing to do it. It’s a bit of this and a bit of that to have enough for the binding to match the backing as well as the sashing in between the scrappy quilt blocks. This is the calico that Lena had sewn into one large piece, most likely for a full sized quilt. My 64″ x 64″ is using it to the fullest.
Yesterday, sitting in the hospital waiting room for five hours, I now have a head cold. There was no shortage of cool air circulating. Today, a sneeze once in awhile and a voice that is two octaves lower than usual. Not even a need for a tissue, just a head that feels a bit woozy.
