Ik ben even niet met PSP bezig, omdat ik na een alarmerend telefoonbericht vanmiddag naar het tehuis van mijn man ben geweest. Hij was ongeveer drie uur niet meer aanspreekbaar vanaf het begin van de lunch. Ik heb daarvan 2 en half uur naast hem gezeten en heb rustgevende muziek afgespeeld via YouTube. Ik merkte dat hij daar rustiger door werd. Ze hadden hem pijnprikkels gegeven of er nog gevoel aanwezig was. De verpleging had hem op bed gelegd. Na 3 uur werd hij weer wakker. Het moet een soort coma geweest zijn. Achteraf vertelde hij dat hij alles gehoord had en ook de pijnprikkels gevoeld had alhoewel dat niet erg pijnlijk was geweest. Maar hij kon niet reageren. Uiteraard was de arts gealarmeerd, maar die kon er geen aanleiding toe vinden Maar hij houd hem goed onder controle. Alles wat opgemeten kon worden was goed. Misschien wat onder de leden. Ik ben daarna ook nog een anderhalf uur bij hem gebleven en toen wilde ik weer naar huis want het begon al donker te worden. Toen hij weer wakker werd ging er een zucht van verlichting op, ook onder de verpleegsters, En natuurlijk ook bij mij. En zo gebeurd er plotseling iets wat je leven op zijn kop zet.

 

 

Jannette soms zijn er andere dingen in het leven die véél belangrijker zijn dan alles wat we hier doen en waarover we hier praten. Heel veel sterkte de komende dagen.

I am not busy with PSP for a while, because I went to my husband's home this afternoon after an alarming phone message. He was unresponsive for about three hours from the start of lunch. I sat next to him for 2 and a half hours and played soothing music via YouTube. I noticed that he became calmer because of it. They had given him pain stimuli to see if he was still feeling. The nurses had put him to bed. After 3 hours he woke up again. It must have been a kind of coma. Afterwards he said that he had heard everything and had also felt the pain stimuli, although that had not been very painful. But he could not respond. Of course the doctor was alarmed, but he could not find any reason for it. But he is keeping a close eye on him. Everything that could be measured was good. Maybe a bit under the weather. I also stayed with him for another hour and a half and then I wanted to go home because it was already getting dark. When he woke up again, there was a sigh of relief, also among the nurses, and of course also among me. And then suddenly something happens that turns your life upside down.

 

 

Oh Jannette, that is so sad and so scary for you.  I hope your husband is doing better.  Hugs and best wishes for stability for both of you.

Another thing I do and that is important to me is after watching a video of "Cassel"

I redo all the steps with my own images (as much as possible),

translating into French and adding screenshots of the steps.

Even if the video is less than 60 minutes, I can take 2@3 days to make my summary

(included a partial copy of "PaintShop Christmas 8" in French of course :))

Link available until 2025-01-31

Mon tuto.pdf

I just downloaded the tutorial in French and opened it in Adobe Express which translated it into English, if anyone wants a copy.

I suggest you watch the "Handout" of "PaintShop Christmas 8" which is complete and very well done.

This year I used gnomes as a theme for my youngest grandsons' Christmas Cards. The backgrounds are from CF and Canva. The front letters are pngs from CF which were stacked using Carole's Alpha Stacking script and then entered into the Text Creator script. The candy cane frame is my own from my Build a kit 2. The purple belt Taekwondo gnome is from Adobe Express AI in honor of Thomas just receiving his purple belt. The  inside gnome is from CF, and the candy cane letters are from my alphas in Build a Kit 2. I did not save the name of the inside font but it is from CF.

I finally had the calendar pages printed.   It's nice to see how they turned out.

My grandson and his girlfriend just received my printed Thailand calendars (made from their Thailand photos from last summer) and were just thrilled. Rachel is planning to hand some out to her family for Christmas.

I can only imagine how happy you are, Donna! Your work is so bright and colorful; I love it!

I finished another layout from my Unfinished Layouts folder.  I still have a few more to work on. 

This one was easier, more adding photos than anything else.
