More Hospice Art :)

Hmmmm, maybe I need to add a few leaves; my version looks like a brain :-/

I Love Spring!!

My Marie Curie Daffodils - Update

My "Real" Marie Curie Daffodil is Drying ...

... so here's a pic of my "virtual" daffodil; photographed unpainted, colour stripped out by "Colour Effects" iPad App, recoloured & framed using Colour Effects, Skitch & PS Express iPad Apps. So soothing to do. This art-relaxation-thing really works!!

(P.S. The "real" daff I'm making at the Hospice's Carers' Group is a clay model, painted with acrylic)

Back In The Hospice

They're hoping this latest episode is just reversible toxicity, caused by the recent infections in her legs.

The Cholangiocarcinoma Bomb ...

A Fabulous Sentiment

"No matter how grouchy you're feeling,
You'll find the smile more or less healing.
It grows in a wreath
All around the front teeth -
Thus preserving the face from congealing"

- Anthony Euwer

Another Infection

DVT hasn't been ruled out yet, but the A&E tests have identified that Susan has definitely got an infection in both legs. They're not sure what type yet, but hopefully they'll get some antibiotics into her quickly, to start fighting the damn thing fast.

It took her 30 minutes to manage a 10 minute walk to the doctor's yesterday. She's almost completely immobile now.

This is so damn hard to watch. How much harder must it be to go through? How can anyone bear this??

Another A&E Visit ...

... I'm starting to consider moving in :-/

Cellulitis or DVT??

Or both??

My heart breaks to watch her in such pain and distress.

Spring Is Springing

Lovely Quotes - Keep 'em Coming

Another wonderful quote from the Professor. Thank you, Carol; I love it :)

"The ideals which have guided my way and time after time have given me the energy to face life, have been kindness, beauty and truth."

Tough Day

"In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity" - Albert Einstein

Many thanks for these words, Professor Einstein. I do find them very reassuring.
