From Lurline!

To all my gorgeous friends - so sorry I haven't replied to your comments on last post - we still have Ed with us!

A little brief coverage for those who care - Ed had major bowel/bladder surgery 4/5 and a post-operative heart attack while in ICU - I brought him home 13/5 - he was good, sort of, and then I rushed him to hospital 15/5 where he had another heart attack and a stroke paralysing his left side. He is still in critical heart care making a good recovery from the stroke, slowly but surely and it is day by daying it!

My 4 children are all with me and still I cannot cope - I'm exhausted and cry all the time - now please don't feel sorry for me that is not meant that way it is just telling you the change in me. One of my dearest long-time friends on earth Christine from Once Upon a Quilt .... I send you all my thanks and love - I daren't name any more friends you are all so precious - one day I will blog with happiness - I hope it is soon!

    Lurline - one foot in front of the other, and breathe. Then again. Take care of you so you can take care of Ed. Let your children be strong for you, too. Life's a group effort, you know . . .

    Regards, Sue

    Lurline,
    Sending you warm thoughts and positive healing energy- may you find yourself surrounded by people that give you strength and buoy your spirits. Life does feel overwhelming and we sometimes need the strength of others to help us through the tides.
    So glad to know your children are with you at this time.
    Warmest regards from Western Canada,
    Anna
