The pool was chilly for water aerobics this morning, probably because more water was added to it, which hasn't had time to heat, yet. One of the other ladies said it was even chillier Monday. I wasn't there Monday, since I attended Cardiac Rehab as a make-up day for missing my regularly scheduled session yesterday.
The news from the pool is that on Monday one of the ladies experienced severe indigestion and left early to go home. Later, the indigestion became intolerable enough to send her to the hospital, where she was diagnosed as having a heart episode. Today, she underwent stent implantation. She's the third one of us since the first of the year to be diagnosed with heart disease, each of us experiencing different symptoms...an "ice cream headache" type of pain in my left arm, severe acid reflux symptoms in the esophagus of another woman, and severe indigestion in the third...proving that heart attack symptoms in women can be very different from the classic ones often experienced by men.
When I got home, there was an e-mail message from Daughter-in-Law saying that she cannot access my blog. I tried, but also cannot access it. I spent the rest of the morning studying information from blogger.com, but can find no clue to the problem.
Mother came over after lunch, and we finished an arts council project begun at a member's home. Several women gathered at the host lady's home to work on creating clear, beveled glass Christmas tree ornaments in various sizes of diamond shapes edged in leading. Some of the ornaments feature star and ice crystal etchings, and some are plain. The lady who hosted the work session is a skilled stained glass artist.
Mother's and my job was to attach tags and hanger cords to the ornaments. There wasn't time to finish the job, so today we finished making the tags and punching holes in them. Tomorrow, Hubbie will deliver the tags to the gallery, where other helpers will attach them to ornaments. We want a sufficient supply of ornaments available for sale at the gallery for Friday night's "Second Friday" events downtown.
Later, we sat down to watch Johnny Depp in the musical movie, "Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street." This "R" rated movie is very bloody...more so than the filmed stage production starring Angela Landsbury. Some have said that Depp's singing is not especially good, but I thought he was fine...his rendition seemed to fit the dark and evil Todd character nicely. This movie is definitely Halloween month fare, but with all the spurting-blood-throat-slitting, it is not for those with weak stomachs.
