For Older People with Sense

Did I miss how this happened? A fall? Wishing you a simple solution and a speedy recovery.

Tomorrow is the big day for my arm. I hope I get a good orthopedic surgeon.

SoCalLisa, I hope you are feeling no pain, I bet you are staying away from writing here, I do hope you are alright, and can peck with one hand soon and let us know.

Wilsie, i am thinking of you, and praying for you too. I hope they are taking very good care of you while you are doing the adriamycin, and i do hope it blasts you back to a good semblance of health... I am going to try and keep you in mind today.

Hope everyone else is okay too.

Love it Lisa. Autumn is coming in our part of the world.

One of our strange birds a Takahe. They are actually quite large and they are real clowns. They were thought to be extinct but a few were discovered some years ago and through a breeding programme there are now quite a number but they are still endangered.

oh lisa, are you calling us "wild women"?

I've been off traveling and having some fun before coming home to a skin biopsy on my leg which came back B9!!!!!!! But then got infected.

Aly, that looks like a character! looks like fun to watch. Here we have Heath Hens that they are trying to "bring back". I'm not even sure how "they" are doing it since I don't think any exist. My island has the reputation of where the last Heath Hen lived. Makes you wonder why they died?

update on me......I am am on home liquid nutrition, still sleeping 15 hours a day. I am in no pain, just afraid this is as good as as it's going to get

Well hell yes, Nancy, we ARE wild women!! Glad for the good results but sorry for the infection.  Hope it will clear up soon.

Wilsie, I wish you had better news,  but  I'm thankful that you have no pain and are getting some nutrition even  though in liquid form.   Is there any particular reason you're sleeping so much?  (Medication, etc.)  Perhaps your body simply needs rest to heal and your sleep needs will eventually decrease.  Like Chrissy said, we're sending prayers and good thoughts your way.

Lisa, you may be hunting and pecking but your pictures are still gorgeous.  I love the tulips!

Aly and Chrissy, here you are getting into fall and we're trying to get into spring, with the pollen and all the allergens in the air.  (Well, you probably have them in fall too, because we do.)  And Chrissy, I know you're as excited as you can be!  September ill be here sooner than you think, too.

DD is going to the ob/gyn weekly now and there aren't many weeks left to go.  Due date is April 8.  She's supposed to sing at a church on Palm Sunday and then at our church on Good Friday, but we shall see.  She really wants to do the Palm Sunday one because she'll be paid for that! 

Hope everyone's having a good week.

I know that I have posted this before but some times it's how I feel

Hugs to all hope you are doing better. My arm is a big deal so it's hard to post

Ginger, Look for their nest. I watched 2 mockingbirds persuade a large parking lot to go the long way round to get to their cars. Defending their nest. Maybe a hard hat would be even better than a regular hat.

Our Easter has been shattered. DH's cousin is the first (and only so far) road fatality of the holidays. It was her mother who died two weeks ago. Yes I know she is a cousin once removed but the cousins were brought up together as my MIL and her SiL where both widowed early and DH and his siblings regard their cousins as older sisters. Jacque was so looking forward to a holiday as she had been Joyce's main care giver. The girls were in one car and the boys in the following vehicle. So her husband and son saw it happen.

We are also trying to move MiL's stuff out of her house. I can't believe how much there is. And it is being complicated by DH's brother who lives in Spain and wants to keep everything. It's not much to store he says. Grrrrr. He is so unrealistic.

My back unfortunately is a real problem. So many discs have collapsed and vertebrae not good. Never mind shouldn't complain too much.I have gone to bed and DH who is so tired trying to move stuff has gone out for a take away meal as neither of us have any energy.

Lisa how is the arm?

and Mac hope to get to your part of the world in September.

big hugs

Alyson, I'm so sorry to read of all this sadness. Hope things will be better soon.

Still on baby watch here.  Today was the due date but DD was 10 days late with her first, and then had to be induced.  Dr. said yesterday that if nothing's happened by next week  they'll set a date for inducing this one. 

I saw something on the weather report tonight I hope never to experience.  A pollen storm!  It seems that wind gusting caused a visible thick swirling of pollen in the air, not unlike a tornado moves.  Oh how miserable that must be.

Kathy

The baby's here, 7 lbs 12 oz of boy, Shaun Lewis!  Some of you already know since I posted it on FB.  He was born Sunday and with the exception of 1 night we've kept his 19 month old "'big" sister every night to help the new parents adjust.  Tonight they're all together and Grandpa and I are taking it easy!

Very quiet here this week.  Hope all of us are well.

Kathy

Congratulations on the baby. Good to have the bundle of joy out in the world. 😊

we are in Coronado with a group of my husband's college classmates.

My biggest fear Chrissy, going down with my butt in the air, and my undies exposed to all and sundry! Since I started doing some practice falls a while back....I only wear slacks/leggings when I leave home these days. I hope all is well tomorrow, if not try some 'Pain Away' on it; might take the worst of the sting out of it.

Sheila.
