Okay friends, roughly two months ago, I mentioned that I've had a major schedule adjustment because something happened at home.
Well, my mum suffered a minor stroke to the left side of her brain. She has no physical immobility/impairments, just problems with her language centre which affects her ability to converse in full sentences. She's much better now but of course, is on a host of medications and there are many doctor appointments - for her heart, her brain and also speech therapy.
Her cognitive decline wasn't sudden...she would forget some words here and there. But when she had a big bruise on her arm and didn't know if she fell or hit something, we brought her to the doctor's and he suggested that we send her to the hospital for all the necessary scans/tests. She stayed in hospital for 5 days and no visitors were allowed (because of COVID)...and of course lost a ton of weight.
Oh I love your take on this months sketch! love the colors and layers. Well done and Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about your mom, but thankful it wasn't worse. I'm glad you're all getting extra time with her siblings. Awesome page - I was just thinking that it'd been awhile since you'd shared a layout.
ReplyDeleteVery attractive layout! Sorry to hear about your mom's health problems but glad to know that she is doing better. I also need to clear out my hoarded stuff but alas I don't think any of my relative will want my stuff...LOL!
ReplyDeleteFantastic layout! Love the bright colors and all the embellishments you used to pull it all together! Glad to read that your mom is doing better.
