Hello Taci, thank you 😊. Not what I had in mind as my 37th celebration. But life comes at you when you least expect 😌. I am worse than a child when it comes to being sick or injured. Right now it’s one day at a time.
I miss not being able just to walk to the bathroom, let alone into the kitchen and cook something. Or bake my breads, or walk out the patio door and enjoy the outside some.
Take care Taci.

On the vacs. I am on the fence as well. I didn’t get the last one because it seemed more people got covid even after, so much so that I let it go. May do the same for this one. Just not sure of the side effects.

Hubby is now in rehab and physical therapy will begin on Thursday. Your trip is coming up soon. I wish you safe travels. Pack masks just in case along with vitamins. If anything the vitamins will help your immune system. Don’t forget those comfortable shoes for your tours and long hikes. Have a great time.

I missed your posts and thought you were away celebrating your anniversary. Even so you usually post. So sorry to hear what happened. I can feel your pain. Thank goodness nothing broken. But the muscle spasms almost as bad. I wish I lived closer so I could help in some way. The couch doesn’t t give you the support that is necessary. A board may help until you make it to bed. An air mattress could also help. I’m looking at those walk in tubs for.both of us. Not sure if I will actually go that route. Just thinking. But the air mattress is something I am really considering and they come in different heights and are also self inflated and deflated. Thank goodness you always plan ahead. Just take it easy. Don’t push.

Shoelady, phew, glad you and Mr. Shoe are felling better and testing negative!

Sheba, hello! Saw your message from yesterday as well. Have to admit I could do without another rattler, bob cat, coyote sighting. The coyotes were howling away as I was leaving, and some people were just beginning their activities. It’s cooled down nicely.
Regarding the Heidi set you posted of the skylines, WOWZA! The bracelet is my favorite.
I’m sure you will love the set.
Glad you have plans in the works.
There are lots of questions about this years vax. Or maybe there always was and now I am researching it more? I don’t know. We won’t be able to get it before leaving so I am pretty sure I am skipping it and the rsv. My friend who is a survivor with many or most family members in the medical world is getting both vax’s.
Let me know what you find.
Take care out there.

xango, sorry to read of your accident. Hope you are feeling better and glad you are home.
It was interesting that you mentioned so many drug overdoses and that they were getting priority care. They must have been in a life or death situation. I just don’t understand the allure of drugs. Ruins everything in its wake. Some people must be in a lot of pain and also have addiction genes. Anyway, maybe drug OD’s and issues need a separate facility.
When my husband was in a hospital room over 20 years ago, they were overcrowded ( people were in hallways too) and a felon was put in the back part of the same room and the cops were telling him to behave and fortunately he did. Since then a new hospital has been built in the area. It’s huge.
Hope you feel better soon. Sending hugs.

Peace Out Peeps enjoy your evening.

@shoelady60,

Traylor is all over our local stations and look like main stream media too. Taylor did have
a great time in our region. I would have loved to be at the Eats he took her to and I have
been there many times. WE shall see how this plays out. I wish every Game Day was like
Sunday oh Taylor will write a song about this Sunday.

I am go glad both you and hubby are better I would rest up for Mom Friday. 😎🌹😘

Lady you are a sweet daughter.

@xango,

I cannot believe what happened to you. OMG! The pain you must be in.
I would have taken the Morphine they can give you a smaller dose just enough
to be comfortable I think no food or anything to drink would have done me in.

I knew something was going on I always have these gut feelings. Thank god you have
Prince Charming to help you. I am so glad he was there with you. Kudos on the new
car that you can ride in comfort. I wish I could give you a hug.

Don’t do anything smart of you to have food frozen and ready to prep for meals.
I am just glad you will be alright.

I think your husband may feel your pain. How are you feeling tonight? Prayers up
that this too shall pass my friend.

@Shoelady

Hi, thank you for your prayers. I know it’s a powerful tool.
I was reading through the posts. I hope you are feeling better.
I must admit, it was not what I thought we would be doing this year for our anniversary. Since hubby had his triple bypass last year, I thought we could celebrate this year properly.
Here’s wishing you recover from your virus quickly.
Take care 🌹

@xango

OMGGGGGG!!!😲😣😲 I know that’s not what you had planned for your anniversary week. Relax, take it easy, get well and let your wonderful husband wait on you. I’m sure you have 15 meals in the freezer he can heat up. Prayers that each day you feel a little better.🙏🙌

@sheba2011

Hi in Oz. We both tested negative this morning, yay!👍 So now we just have lingering cold symptoms. I will feel much better around mom on Friday. Thanks for your concern, dear friend.🥰

Hope all is well in your house. Has the “Traylor” news start to settle? Poor woman can’t even watch a football game without being hounded. But maybe the money is worth it, I’ll never know. Always a price to pay.😕

Have a great evening, hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@Sheba🍂🍂🍂🍁🍁🍁
Happy Autumn to you 🍁🍁🍁 I hope you are doing well.

I am not sure how to start, our anniversary was in the middle of last week. Hubby had taken the week off but had to have online class for his new position next month. Thursday started our weekend, we traded and purchased a new vehicle. One that is easier for me to get in and out, not so high off the ground.
That left Friday through Sunday to celebrate. I wanted to get some fall plants, and go to two different supermarkets.
So we went to the first supermarket, walked all over buying vegetables/fruits and different cheeses.
There was only one register open and a big line. As we stood in line, an employee called us over to a different register I placed some items on the conveyor belt than hubby took over. I walked behide and around hubby, between the two lanes to take the bags we brought with us to bag our groceries. There was other people walking there too so I went closer the the right closer to the lane partition, and tripped over a mop handle that was sticking out just enough on the floor to make me fall.
There was a cleaning bucket and what I can conclude is the mop fell forward thus sticking out part of the handle into the isle. I tripped and went forward and had a bad fall. Landed on my right side and on my right knee. It knocked the air out of me. Hubby didn’t see me fall, but the people standing in line did. Several gentlemen came to help. There was one gentleman that had me wingle my toes as I was on the floor. Later he got me a frozen peas bag f9r me knee. The gentlemen and hubby had to actually lift me to me feet.
I couldn’t stand on my right leg, so someone got a chair to me right where I had fallen.
And one gentleman pointed out to me that the mop handle was sticking out. He also said he placed the mop back where it should have been.
The manager came over, and decided to call an ambulance. Filled out an accident report. By the time the paramedics got there I was in pain. They took me to the emergency room, I convinced hubby to drop off the groceries at home before going to the hospital. He must of flew home and then to the hospital because he got there not long after I was in my room.
They did blood work, IV wanted to give me a morphine drip. I refused, if I took that, then they would have to give something for nausea and so forth. My body wouldn’t take such strong medication. I didn’t want to make the situation worse. The nurse said she couldn’t give me anything else for pain. So no pain medication, no water, no food, all afternoon and night. Finally the doctor came in, after talking with me ordered X-rays and a CT-scan. Meanwhile I needed to use the rest room, but all nurses were busy with people coming in with drugs overdose. It was one after another and it kept the nurses very busy. They took me for X-ray, then brought me back to the room. I must of pushed the nurse button several times and no one showed up. Hubby went to the desk and was told everyone was busy.
Then I was taken to the CT-scan, rolled into a waiting room and just left me there while she went into another room to get something to drink/eat or sit and rest. After about 10 minutes I asked someone that was walking by to get the lady who came and got me from my room. Told her I really needed the restroom. I pointed to one I could see from where she had parked my bed. And she says, “that’s for employees only I have to take you down the hall”. Thank God she was a tall, strong thirty-something. She had to practically carry me into the restroom. I couldn’t place any weight on my right leg and no pain medication, it was excruciating and exhausting. My whole body just shivered. After returning to the room, I asked if I could have some water. Nope, the doctor needed to see blood work results along with the imaging results, there went the night.
Results was nothing broken thank God. But damaged my knee, muscles. My knee, extremely swollen.
At discharged I was given a knee brace, introductions no weight on leg what so ever. Getting from the car to the house was challenging. We still have the walker hubby used last year after his surgery and it is handy. For days my whole body shivered, it took a shock. I have to sleep on the sofa, can’t get up on the bed. Was so hard to get to the bathroom, so we got a bedside commode, only it’s sofa side. Hubby is taking excellent care of me. He has been cooking, cleaning, washing, giving me sponge baths and pampering me. Ice pacs every other half hour, food makings sure I eat. Although I have lost a good portion of my appetite, nothing tastes good. From shoulder to foot it hurts on the right side body shivers and feet sweat cold, even with a hot pad. I have been taking motrin, but being careful not to over do.

Here’s wishing you, your hubby and Poppy cool crisp walks and 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️ bike rides.
Take Care 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂
