I fall down - go BOOM!

[zippy-kat]

I think this calls for a round of peeps!

You! Feel better!!

[Asiel]

Omg.....I'm so sorry to hear this and I can feel your pain having gone through that, Must be a thing that hits when we reach a certain age. I can count the number of bones that I have not broken so please be careful and let yourself heal properly before attempting anything strenuous.

That reminds me - I have a batch of peeps, unopened, probably several years old, that I found when moving stuff in the pantry (yes, I am blessed with a large pantry, 'specially for a little house). Shall I mail them West? I know you like them stale, but am not sure how stale is too stale! They aren;t - I dunno - anything that ever expires, are they?

Oh I am so sorry to hear about your fall.
Perhaps you can catch up on some great summer reading with a few or many Lemon Drops to ease the pain.

Picture it. It's January, 2009 and my boss has the whole gang together. Apparently we need to pick our dates for 2009 vacation. Well....me, I book 2010 vacation a year in advance. "What if I flew down and surprised Gini for her birthday?" I was looking forward to visiting with her, sharing some much needed belly laughs and hugs. Little did I know what was in store.

The plan was that I was to walk into the restaurant posing as a flower delivery girl. "She'll never know it's me....." "I've lost 50 lbs and I'll wear makeup and a wig and big sunglasses and lots of temporary tattoos. I'll fit right in with the LA crowd."

So there I was....just walked in, presented her with flowers and didn't she know it was me right off the bat, and the rest is history as she tells it. My vacation was spent going back and forth to the hospital, but it was worth it to see that she made it through sir jury successfully.

Apologies to all PT'ers as I had to keep this to myself.

Gini, it's good to see on line again and I promise I won't breathe a word about the "goings-on" when the morphine kicked in.....

Love and hugs
slick xoxoxo

Oh my goodness, Gini! I'm so sorry about your fall and broken leg. I hope your little nurses are taking good care of you. Still it is a nice surprise that our Slick came to surprise you. Guess she ended up with a surprise too, huh? Wow!

Well, Happy Birthday to you. Get well soon!

Oh, they are probably perfect!!!

[gini]

Thanks everyone for all of your wonderful good wishes. It is a slow go - and I hate to admit it but the pain pills are a welcome sight. I was trying to not take them but the leg told me that was stupid - why endure the pain.

Pain pills upset my stomach.

My three orange nurses are just the best. Only problem is that Rascal wants to park himself on the bumb leg. But he was really thrilled to see Mom come home and makes sure to sleep with me every night.

The physical therapist is now coming three times a week - so hopefully I can progress quickly and be up and about. No driving for a couple of months though.

Hi Gini,

Still keeping you in my prayers for a smooth recovery. Have you started
pt yet? (((Hugs)))

[Randi]

Only problem is that Rascal wants to park himself on the bumb leg.

Isn't that typical, but Rascal is only trying to help you heal faster.

Gini, I know things like this takes time, but I hope the progress will go smoothly and faster than you expect. Concerning painkillers, you should be able to get some that doesn't upset your stomach - ask your doctor!

hugs

Oh, Gini, so sorry to hear about your accident. Glad to read you are home though and are on the road to recovery. Prayers and good thoughts winging their way for you.
