Left-over colourwash blocks

The quilt maker made a stunning colourwash quilt for their own bed.  I plan to start quilting that one soon, and she had a couple of blocks left and decided to use them to make this smaller colourwash quilt.

In my previous post, I talked about old age, and now it seems that with every new day, there is a new ailment.  I got home on Thursday after a Swedish back, neck and shoulder massage and constantly heard a fan running somewhere in the house.  With it not being that warm yet, we do not have fans switched on, but the sound persisted.  I walked through the house, checked everything that could make a similar sound, and I found nothing.

The next day, the fan sound disappeared, then it felt as if my ear closed up, like when you are near a coastal city or the sea.  That evening, trying to fall asleep, I turned on my left ear, with the TV timer set and the TV in the room still on and realised I couldn’t hear a thing.  My right ear was totally deaf.

A day later, while blow-drying my hair and when I got near my ear, I got the sound of a tree branch touching an electric fence.

Saturday, we went to a party. Whenever someone to my right would talk to me, the sound came from my left side.  I would look at the person to my left, just to realise they’re not even looking at me. All the while, the poor lady to my right waited for me to respond.

Hubby thinks it’s hilarious. When he realises I can’t hear him, he pretends to use sign language to communicate with me. I am not yet sure what to do about this. Wait a couple of days to see if anything changes, or start with the most basic and try to soften any possible wax in my ear, and have that removed before going to a doctor.  Nowadays, it seems as if one doctor just wants to send you off to another to make it his or her problem.
