Today I went to a Quilt Group that I belong to mostly we do our own projects but once in awhile we have a group project. I haven't really been into making quilt tops and such until our Relief Society started a Quilt Group a few years ago now it is one of my most favorite things to do. Never got into making clothes or anything like that I mainly did a variety of crafts. Still do somethings crafty. I like to cook and bake and all those traditional things housespouses do lol. Mom usually gets up in the morning ready for breakfast and sits and watches the price is right sometimes or @ least the last couple of Sundays Don has come over and picked us up and we have had breakfast @ my house About ten am she is ready to go lay down with her feet up. Because of her heart condition her feet get really cold if she is up to long poor circulation caused by only the top half of her heart working. So she goes to bed every few hours during the day. She likes watching the birds from her window and she has a TV in her bedroom she likes watching all the old sit-coms that come on TVLand. Enjoy whatever this day may bring.

Out West with Nadine has been created for the purpose of family matters and goings on Out West
The end of March of this year mom went from being healthy as a horse to very sick it seemed like a matter of days Finally got her to the hospital to find that @ some point she had had a massive heart attack. Although we couldn't pinpoint the exact time Don and I remember her complaining of pains in her shoulder and down her arm. Being about as stubborn as anyone I know she refused to go to the hospital we believe that was sometime in late January or early Feb. When she got to the hospital we found out not only had the heart attack damaged her heart to the extent of no longer having the use of the bottom part of her heart. She also had blood clots in her right lung and both lungs were filled with fluid. They started to drain the fluid off her lungs and ended up damaging her kidneys. Mom has been home from the hospital since the first part of April with me and my family providing twenty four hour care. It has been hard @ times with having issues within my own family but we have managed. Mom is now as healthy as she can possibly be with her health problems. She is on oxygen twenty four\seven.
