Updates on Mom & Pool Cabana


Hello friends, as some of you know, my mom had surgery July 6th.
The surgery well well, but sometime after, she suffered a small stroke.

Her left side is weak.  I was very upset hearing this news.  I was also frustrated that the doctors did not relay what was going on with her, until I became agitated and demanded some answers.

On my way down to visit my Mom, one of the doctors finally called me.
The doctor has assured me, she will get better and stronger after suffering a small stroke.

She might be discharged today.  They recommended she go to a nursing rehab for two weeks.  I selected my top choices with the list they sent me.  Medicare will pay for up to 20 days.
Pool Cabana Update
The pool house is coming along. The drywallers are here today, tape and mudding.  They will be finished by tomorrow.
Finally the mason can come in and start on the rock wall.


You can see the wiring in the ceiling for lights.  There will be two.
Double french doors lead to the pool area.


We are choosing this slab for the counters.  It is called Azul Macabas.
It looks beachy to me.

We are selecting the faucets and light fixtures
I am trying to decide if I want the rock wall inside or tile.

The cabinets will be ready next week.  We are selecting the color today.
It will be close to this color, since I want a beachy look.


I am so sorry I haven't had time to post, or visit blogs.  I have been blogged down with taking care of things regarding my mom and also the pool cabana.  We are also caring for my Mom's dog.

  5. Hi Linda,
    It is frustrating when the doctors do not communicate better. When my mom lived in Florida and we are up here in Chicago I had a heck of a time when she was in the hospital to get answers until I could get down there. That is why I moved my mom up by me know. With her cancer and now her hip replacement surgery coming up I need her to be up here living by me. I am glad your mom is doing better and will go to the rehab for some care. Your pool house is looking wonderful. I love the counter top you picked. Just beach beautiful!
    xoxo

  6. Linda, so very sorry to hear about your mom. My daughter works with stroke patients, as she is a Speech Pathologist. And yes, after rehab she most likely will be much better. Will be keeping all in prayer.

  19. A stroke??!?!?!? Oh, no! I'm REALLY sorry to hear this! I know at that age "quick" healing is probably a little too much to ask for, so I will pray for your Mom's steady and thorough healing. Oh, my! I'm sure you were just beside yourself! I know I would be, too!

    The cabana is really coming along!!! I love the watery, wave-like countertops you've selected. Perfect for where you live! This is going to be one super snazzy cabana!!!

  21. So frustrating about your mother! Glad they finally told you! I had a neighbor who suffered a stroke and they kept her in the hospital all day saying it was the flu! I knew right away she had stroke symptoms - couldn't move one side of her body, couldn't move one side of her face and slurred speech! They could have helped her a lot if they had caught that right away!
    Wow, I have never ever seen such a beautiful piece of stone. The colors are amazing - I want a pool house like this! It is going to be stunning!
