I fell and had a brain bleed.
It looks like I can go home today.

So sorry that happened to you, take care of yourself and feel the support being sent to both you and your husband.
I am so sorry but glad you are able to go home.
Sorry to hear that, I hope you’re soon back at your loom.
I’m glad to here you’re doing better. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
Thank you for letting us know about your fall and brain bleed. You are kind to reach out to keep us in the loop. As much as I enjoy reading your regular blog posts, even more do I want you to recover at a relaxed pace.
I have been reading – savoring slowly – your book “Tales From the Matrix” and absorbing as much information as this elder brain can handle (maybe I need a few more brain wrinkles). Thank you for sharing your weaving knowledge and your life experience knowledge. You are a good story teller. Thank you, too, for sharing the names of books you are reading.
What a surprise to discover in “Tales From the Matrix” some references to Tyson Yunkaporta about learning… and laughter… and the importance of sharing knowledge. Tyson Yunkaporta, an Aboriginal scholar, is from Aurukun on the northwestern side of the Cape York Peninsula in Queensland, Australia. My family lives on the southeastern side of the peninsula. Our two communities are about 800km apart (that’s pretty close, in Australia). Amazing how threads of connection appear, from one side of the globe to the other.
May your recovery continue to go well. Glad you are going home soon.
I hope you are fully recovered, and back to doing the things you love to do very soon.

Rest and don't push yourself. You are in our minds and hearts.

OMG - get well soon! Thank you for letting us know.
Phhhh - thanks for letting us know even when you are dealing with this 'thing'!
Please relax and recover, we won't bother you with our concerns again :-)

Laura, I’m sending you all the healing energy. Hope you recover soon.
Sorry to hear this Laura. Rest and recover well. The weaving community is thankful for you❤️
Sending you lots of love from Australia xx
Jo-Anne
Thanks for letting us know. Take good care of yourself in your recovery.
Wishing you strength and patience as you heal, and so very grateful you are still with us
Take all the time you need to heal. It's often a slow process!
