Hi, thank you for all those suggestions 😊.
Some medications works better in my body and motrin is one of them.
Slowly but surely I am getting better.
How is your husband doing today? I hope and pray he will be getting his operation, get better and be able to go home soon in the future.

Take care Oodiebom 🌹

Autumn your favorite time of year, I hope you are having fun 😊.
I too am glad hubby was with me. And that I have a hubby that takes such good care of me. Feeling slightly better today and had a meal. Mostly what I was eating soup and fruit, but today had a good meal. Slowly but surely I am getting better.
I read in one post you are making plans to visit your mother, how wonderful.
I was thinking about that, if you were going to be able to see her before Winter gets started.

Take care Sheba 🌹

Hi Oodie, thank you for your kind words 😊.
Right now everything hurts, hopefully it will start to become less and less as the days go by.
Read your post, you have so much going on and your hands super full.
So glad for the good news, your husband is able to go back to rehab from the hospital. Hopefully you will be able to get things done. Columbus Day is coming up next month, perhaps you can get a good sale for the needed appliances.
Take care Oodiebom 🌹

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.

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 🌹

@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 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂

Hello, thanks for the lovely ladybugs. Hubby and I were just talking this afternoon about how I haven’t seen any this year. Don’t know if it’s because of the extreme heat we have this Summer.
The milkweed did have and still does have lots of milkweed beetles.
Looked around today and there’s a few caterpillars on the milkweed. And to my surprise I found two on my Aruda plant. They weren’t eating it, I think it’s going into a cocoon mode into metamorphosis.

Hubby and I had a big day today, I’ll tell you about that some other time.
I am concerned about Oodiebom’s husband, praying for him to get better.

Take care Sheba 🌹

@oodiebom

Hi , I am sorry about your husband being hospitalized. Hopefully your hubby can get the rest and care he needs. Including the tests needed for his operation.
You need to rest, take care of yourself too. Please take that opportunity and do so.
I know you are scared, just place your concerns into the hands of the almighty God.
Sending prayers and good vibes.

Hello, are you enjoying your cool weather? I’m sure you and Poppy are having fun walking in better temperatures.

The rains in Brazil continues, it has done damage to many. Just like in other parts of the World neighborhoods lost, business etc.

Hubby had forgotten he had registered for a online class for his new position.
A two day class, Tuesday and Wednesday, so those two days are taken.

I have collected lots of fresh Sage, drying some for the Winter. Also making Sage butter, it’s delicious on anything you like Sage with.

Take care Sheba 🌹

@taci

Hello Taci, thank you 😊. I love the water, love to swim. Enjoy the Ocean, but the slightest movement on the water in a boat I get terribly sick. Even on a cruise ship, I took a cruise with my mother in 1992, it was the Disney Big Red Boat. And then again in the early 2000’s with my hubby. It’s been a while since I took a cruise, haven’t been in the new gaint ships they have now.
Enjoy your week Taci.

@Shoelady

Hi there, thank you 😊. I actually had to do the math this year. Though it was 36 years, but it turned out to be 37😆.
Here’s wishing you and yours a great week.

@taci

Hi Taci, thank you 😊. Not sure what’s coming down or if anything at all. He knows that surprising me don’t always turn out right. Once he did with a Casino Boat Dinner out of Jacksonville, FL. I became seasick and was horribly ill all night long. We both laugh now, it was years ago.
Have a great week Taci.

@Sheba 🌻🌻🍂🍂🍂

Ah, thank you Sheba. I hope you, your hubby and Poppy are having a wonderful weekend. As I woke up this morning while still in bed I couldn’t remember if it was Sunday or Monday 😀.
Here’s wishing you and your hubby a great week ahead.
Take care 🌹
