I hope that everyone had a wonderful Easter. Ours was lovely, though the lead-up has been a little rough.
About a month ago my Dad suffered two small brain bleeds, or mini strokes, and couple of weeks ago he had another three. The first two affected his sight and the others have left him with some cognitive impairments. We saw him on the Saturday before Easter and he was just gorgeous. So pleased to see us and quite emotional, due to the impairments.
His sight has improved enough for him to be able to walk around independently, but he will never go home and he will never drive a car again.
Tonight my sister rang and said that Dad is being moved back to the hospital, he has been in a re-hab facility, as his heart rate has dropped and he can be monitored more closely at the hospital. It just seems that he gets to a "good place" and there is another set back.
As for stitching there has been some, just not as much as I would like as I am back studying. This current unit is on Cognition. I am enjoying it, learning how memory works and about perception. When I do get to do some stitching, usually coinciding with television watching, I have been stitching on one of my many HAED. This one is called Emergence and is by Jen Delyth. This is how it will look 'one day'.
And here is how mine looks at the moment.
