Along this journey, I seem to be "doin' Great" until I'm NOT doin' great! This time I couldn't stand on my leg that I bruised so badly...and here I am again! Joy and her sister had just left to visit San Diego for a couple of days, so I haven't mentioned this yet (again).
After a lot of exploration, x-rays and MRI, I seem to have an immense hematoma in my thigh. Several options were suggested, but, if it's left to absorb naturally, it may be that my partying is over for a couple of weeks.
Truly, this is, for me, an inconvenience as I always have a project on the fire and things to accomplish! That said, I'll be patient and see what unfolds... Maybe this is the time period I begin that illustrated novel my own father once suggested we write together ...50 years ago...? I stay open to new suggestions and possibilities in this world!
THANK YOU all for the nice comments when I have had little-to-no-time to write much, but for leaving faves. Beautiful and reflective photos cheer me.
Btw, in the ambulance the EMT was sharing his photos with me, so I didn't let him get away without having him write down the link for 365! His name is Ryan, and I hope he'll show up here, too!
Oh honey! What a literal pain!! Rest well so you will be all the better to return enthusiastically before too long to full activity again. Big love from us to you. Recover well and be a patient patient! 💐❤️
Just come across your "ailments" and looked back at your past photos. Wishing you a speedy recovery from Aussie. I'm sure you'll mend fast and be back into a full life again soon. :)
@casablanca@gilbertwood Thank you both! As I've been checked over and over, it brought to mind the mother who says to her child, regarding the ailments, "But did you die?" There you have it...Time and patience will see me through! And Ken's good help, and superior Dr and RN care!!!
Getting older is one thing, being an other. And being healthy without any nfurms nearly impossible. I`m with expreriances myself. But we do n`t complain and making the best out of it and enjoy the things we can even much better.
Louise, you sound in good spirits despite your challenges. I pray the hematoma absorbs into your system naturally. Wising you all the best in your recovery.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Louise...stop this! The hospital is no fun and you still have too many projects and much to get done and fun to be had! That said, I hope you are up and out and about again real soon! Hematoma's are no fun. Hugs and kisses for your boo boo. :)
You should get commission from 365 Project for inviting so many people to this wonderful site! I'm sorry you're back in the hospital, what you are going through sounds painful. I'm glad beautiful images have been uplifting your soul, and that Ken's presence is a comfort to you. I would love to read and see any book you write and illustrate. My secret goal is to see all your narrated photo books. I would have loved to a have met your Dad, sounds like you two were kindred spirits. I'm sorry I didn't get to visit you today, but I'm happy my Hubby could. He told me you got serenaded with, Somewhere over the Rainbow, Izzy style while you ate rainbow sherbet! Please heal quickly so we can party with sweet jams and make more memories. You're in our thoughts, hearts and prayers. Perhaps Joy will find out you back in the hospital by reading your post! It's trending today! I hope I get to see you and Ken soon, and that you'll be feeling even a little better. HUGS!
I'm so sorry you're having pain and health problems. A positive attitude is as important as the magic of doctors. Time is the best healer, so let it do its thing.
So sorry to hear you are back in the hospital Louise, Louise take time to smell the roses and relax so you can heal!
Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
Ouchy ouch! You poor thing, so sorry that back in hospital. I can imagine it is tough going, as you say, because you're always on the move doing things. Fingers crossed everything heals much quicker than you anticipate and you'll be back home doing the things you do best. Good luck!
Wishing you a speedy recovery! And I know you will find a way to spend the time meaningfully. Glad you've got Ken by your side. That card on your tray is great!
@ellene Ellen! It's been almost 3 weeks since I fell, and I feel as though I've turned a corner on the road to recovery! 365 friend, @joysfocus was here, so I had good company, and with her nursing background, I didn't scare her away! You DO know me...I hate to let anything slow me down! That card was picked out by my grandson!
A great perspective, yours in this case :-)
Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
