Results of sister's fall

14 years ago

My sister, Bonnie, goes in tomorrow morning to have an MRI and if the results are not better than the doctor thinks they will be, she will be confined to a wheelchair and a nursing home. Your good thoughts and prayers will be most appreciated!

I'm sorry to hear your sister is having problems. I pray that all goes well with the tests tomorrow, and that she soon will be as well as she can be.

Gosh mamatoad. That does not sound good. I hope the MRI results gives you better news. How old is your sister? Hugs to you both.

Results of last fall's experiment....

I don't drink coffee and I've never gone out looking for coffee grounds to add to my compost or garden. However, I use chopped leaves as mulch in all of my gardens. I chop them in the fall and put them in large compost bins until spring. When the plants start coming up, I spread the leaves as mulch. I also have tons of worms, but I know they're after my leaves since I don't have any coffee grounds. I know the worms are great for my soil, but they also cause a problem for me. Robins and turkeys (but mostly robins) go in the gardens looking for worms. They fling leaves out of the garden and onto my lawn or my paths. This summer wasn't as bad, but last summer I had to rake or sweep the leaves back almost every day.

Spring Tomato Results..fall spacing idea

We have always wanted to grow for resale, but have been held back by my health issues and my hubby's age and energy. glad you did as well as you did.always thought they needed so much more water. Green tomatoes are big here too. I'd be afraid if you planted them any closer you would have, rot, fungus and more bugs. I think you really need the spacing for air circulation.

SOP's fine to go down on damp grass, and you can do it now if you want. Really, you're barely off-cycle for an app I scheduled for October 15th. Always read my dates as "somewhere kind of around this date if that's convenient for you." We can always revise the schedule if things really get off-track. Bermuda doesn't require heavy synthetic winterization and the process can actually cause damage the following spring and summer. Greening's unlikely at this point if growth has slowed significantly. However, I don't recommend keeping soybean meal (or any grain) around over the winter as the stuff is a beacon to mice and other less-pleasant rodents. Lighter organic winterization practices won't harm Bermuda, so I'd put it down. If you have shrubs, gardens, or trees, this stuff would also be very good for them at this point in the season as well. I dropped my last organics on October first (in Pennsylvania), being very certain to strike the Thuja, lilacs, trees, and other shrubs with the stuff pretty heavily.

Someone to plant lilies for my sister in Hyde Park, Cincy this fall
Q
Comments (0)
Hi There! I'm scouting out an idea from a long distance away. My sister has a lovely little backyard in Hyde Park. She is not a gardener really, and she doesn't have a full time landscaping service or a local gardener she calls for assistance- she's fairly new to the area and doesn't have this as a priority. But she loves lilies. She turns 30 this fall, and I was thinking of sending her some beautiful lilies (for instance, from The Lily Garden) for the occasion. I wouldn't want her to feel overwhelmed by how and where to plant them. Could you recommend to me a fairly small gardening service- if it's just a one person business, or a hobbyist who takes small gardening gigs, that's awesome- who might be willing to advise her on where to plant the lilies, and then plant said lilies? This would make it a really worthwhile present. My budget is fairly small, but if this is only a couple of lily plants it might be worth the person's time- say $100-$150 bucks? I suggest that hoping it's not a ridiculously small amount for this type of gig, not being too familiar with pricing for such a thing. Thanks for the assistance!!

I'm so sorry to hear this. That is what happened to my mother. She fell, hit her head and had two blood clots. They were able to "vacuum" them out, but she never was the same. Hoping the result will be better than expected and she doesn't have to go into a nursing home.

I am so sorry to hear this. It's another example of how life can change on a dime. I do hope the doctor is wrong.

I was thinking the same as dedtired. How quickly our lives can change. Praying the doctor was wrong and she can live independently.

I am so sorry that she fell and has a possible life changing injury. I have been worried about that too. Anyone here have a Life Alert Button?

Prayers on the way..
