Beautiful block

After I had my heart attack we had a hospitalist doctor who came and visited the house. When queried he gave me the likely scenarios of how I would die. I’ve made a lot of decisions ahead of time of what care I want. My cardiologist told me, when I can’t tolerate my meds anymore it will be downhill from there. I’ve already made decisions to not take one of the recommended class of drugs (with my husbands concurrence). And they’ve had to replace another drug with a shot I get at an infusion center. While I wouldn’t wish this on anyone , there is some comfort in being able to make these type of decisions in advance and having a family who supports you.
Wishing you the best with your health.

GramE loved working on your block, purple is my favorite color and I do love florals
lovely block.
My husband is dealing with this issue with his father. My father n law had his final wishes all mapped out and my husband is the POA. He is getting grief from his brothers and sisters with his care. The Dr's want to put him on hospice and have him live in the nursing home. Since the fall and broken hip, he has fallen 3 more times. He tries to get up and go to the bathroom and he is not strong enough, then falling. He has hit his head twice one time needing stitches. The family wants to bring him home thinking he will get better and be safer, but nobody can take the time to stay with him and keep him safe. We can't afford in home nursing. Not sure what is going to happen, they have to decide by the end of the week.

As we get older, we encounter all the health issues of our family and friends. Thankfully I can "google" all the medical to understand what is happening.
Got my lavendar/purple stash out and found the perfect matches. I liked how the rose came out for Susie and I don't get to use it often so made you one. Hope you like it
I am loving the flower in purple, great job, the star is great too

The purple blocks are all beautiful. And such a variety. TG that rose is wonderful. Thank you to all for your work on my quilt. I had a block picked out for WMUTeach, but I’ve forgotten where I stored it! I have a couple more possibilities before I switch to another choice!
YUMMY, cookie season is finally upon us.
