Another update on Robyn and my surgery !!!
Comments (7)Zeffy, I'm so glad Robyn is feeling better - one day soon she'll realize how much better life is without this man (if you can call him a 'man')and be truly happy again. Now we just need you well! I loved our conversation yesterday; when DH came home I told him we'd talked and he agreed, we need you next door. No summer heat, seldom snow...we'd just have to figure out something for your roses to make them happy in cool coastal weather. Be sure to let us know how your next appointment turns out - everyone here is praying for you. Kathy, I hope you are mending too - what a winter this has been. Do you realize you are leaving a lot to our imaginations by not telling us how you managed to sprain both ankles :) I'm picturing bungee jumping myself......See MoreMore about hip replacement !!! and DD problems.
Comments (2)Florence, I hope you will heal soon. Just take it easy. From what I recall, you have had a femur fracture (?), and depending on the nature of the fracture and your age, it could take up to 6 months for mending on a major bone like this. In the meanwhile, taking some extra and easy-to-absorb calcium from supplements or from food sources, and multivitamins can help to speed things up. If youÂre taking any osteoporosis medications, you may experience bone and muscle pain. These drugs can also affect bone healing. Your doctor can recommend a safe way to exercise the leg muscle and to improve circulation there to help with bone healing while youÂre sitting on a wheel chair. Also, the stresses from a family matter that you went through could have dampened your spirit a bit, and that could affect your recovery in the past. But I think youÂve bypassed them and things are looking better. With warmer temperature coming, our body tends to rejuvenate and you will definitely get out of the rut....See MoreOFF Topic. I am back I hope:)
Comments (13)Amen to givelittle getlots, and now time does not make it better to me it just makes it bearable, and yes your mom will always be with you! I just lost mine this January. And still find myself wanting to call her or stop by to check in on her, My condolences to you I will add you to my prayers. May you take solace in the fact that you got to enjoy your mom all the time while she was here on this earth. God Bless and do take care of yourself....See MoreNeed some encouragement ( kinda long)
Comments (10)Thanks so much for your kind words. It has been a killer of a month. Spent 3 hours with my agent yesterday trying to find a rental that fits our budget and basic needs. We have 2 options but don't really know if they are options yet as the brokers for those properties don't work Sundays. I am very hopeful that by the end of the day I will at least have a clue where we will be living. If these don't work out, we will have to rent an apartment. I know that would not be the end of the world, but my 2 puppy girls have never know a life without a yard to putter in. I already walk them daily, but oh how they love to putter and sun themselves in their little oasis.I am also nervous about apartments with my girls because they both have some social issues with other dogs ( not for lack of trying to work those issues out, some just don't play well with others). Oh, and to boot, I found out that the selling agent was basically using us as bait to get the offers on the house up. Apparently, her and those that work at her office have a rep for being unethical but just come shy of crossing the line that would allow anyone to take legal action or complain to the RE board....See More- 25 days ago
