Web-surfing adventures have led me to find the following interesting photos that I thought you might enjoy seeing...
Finally, the president came around...
..and then...
I'm grateful for a lot today... for the women who fought for the right to vote... for all the men and women who have served our country and continue to do so...
...for my girl friends whose support through trying times is much appreciated...
...and for family whose loving kindnesses are many and generous.
I have not touched my sewing machine in a month.
First, the pneumonia, then the bad fall. While nothing was broken, there appears to have been significant soft tissue damage. I am in more pain today than immediately post-fall. The pain was so bad yesterday when I woke up, I could barely breathe and called 911.
Thanks to the wonderful folks in the ER who attended to every need, I have "a plan" that I have begun and will continue to work on tomorrow. I have given up any thought of getting back to work before Thanksgiving.... and have notified my supervisor.
My three little girls are coming this afternoon and will stay thru tomorrow afternoon... to cheer me up and to help around the house.
Me, I promise to stop... and rest... and otherwise give my body a chance to heal...
....that's going to be hard.
I hope the new plan has you back to sewing soon! Take care of yourself.....and give yourself a chance to heal.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry that you are having such troubles - hope you heal up quickly!
ReplyDeleteI so wished I lived close by to drop in, be there when you needed someone. Yesterday sounds scary. I know how difficult it is to just have to wait for things to heal and it is so hard to get thru. Glad you will have some much needed medicine with the girls visiting. Let them know you need lots of attention and very gentle hugs from all your blog friends thru them. Remember the universe needs you.
ReplyDeleteI hope they have figured out what is wrong and can fix it quickly. Mrs. Moen(a friend & quilt blogger)has a grown daughter who fell down some stairs carrying her baby, she saved the baby, but bruised her liver. Once they figured that out she was sent to bed rest... no lifting! So she had to have lots of help, for quite a long time before she could lift either of her babies. I'm hoping you recouperate sooner. We'll pray for you.

Oh, I am so sorry that things have not improved by now. You are being wise not to push yourself when your body obviously isn't able. Hope you can get the rest you need to recuperate--and I hope they got your pain under control. Wish I could drop by with some soup and breadsticks and a good movie!
ReplyDeleteListen to the docs and follow the plan - no shortcuts! Having "been there" I know that is hard. That amount of pain can scare the bejabbers out of you but it is a good wake up call too. The universe can wait while you do what you need to do.
ReplyDeleteO dear - I am so sorry you had that scare and had to call 911 but I hope your "plan" will help you get on the road to recovery soon! Rest up, follow doctor's orders, and enjoy your visit from those 3 darling girls as much as you can at this point. *big hugs*
ReplyDeleteFirst get better Freda, that's the most important thing to do wright now, the sewing stuff will wait for you, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteGreetings and a lot of good wishes from across the big pond.
Rest while you can and let your Girls take care of you. Hope that you will heal and fell better real soon. Thanks for the extra pictures.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you have support, a plan, and your girls are coming to love you well. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteI've been worried about you. You rest, rest, rest and enjoy today's company!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry Freda. Get all the rest you can and know that we are all thinking of you!

I enjoyed the pictures from the women suffrage movement.
ReplyDeleteI've been worried about you GIRL. Take it easy. The machine will be there in December.
So glad the girls are there to cheer you up! You really do just need to rest!!! I know it is hard to just sit/lay and rest - but it is imperative!!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings
The sewing machine will be there when you're all better, Freda. I'm glad your wee girls are coming to help you out. I'm sure they'll do a wonderful job. Sending lots of healing vibes across the big pond. :o)
ReplyDelete"stuff" will wait - take care of YOU! That is the best gift you can give to ANYONE during the upcoming holidays!!!
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself, Freda! You've got too much still to do to be out of action for long.
ReplyDeleteHave the best time with your girls......and keep holding down that sofa !!!
ReplyDeletePlease, please try to rest and let yourself heal. The three girls will make it much easier, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteAlways thinking of you.

I love the ramblings, sweet friend! But I honestly hope you will make rest your #1 concern. You have so much more to create and share, and that will only happen if you are mended. I think that sofa needs your attention! Love those baby girls while they are visiting ~

Gracious! I'm thankful you could call for help Freda, and be cared for. It's a comfort to have the love and support of family, and so glad your girls could come. Keep me posted! You're in my prayers, always.
ReplyDeleteOh my oh my oh my!!!!! I wish I could be there for you!!!!! This making virtual friends is hard, since we're a zillion miles apart! Take good care of yourself!!! Rest, soup, rest, soup, tea, old movies, rest, rest, rest.
