small sunflower.....

I unfortunately have been abscent for much longer than thought I would be. as a week into my daughter Hayleys visit from WA, I was taken poorly and rushed to Hospital where it turns out I have a blood clot on each lung. So although it sort of ruined my daughters visit - I was grateful that she was close and able to visit, she too was able to help and cook for her father, which I think helped. I am now home and a little potter round my garden produced this bright little sunflower, which I thought quite apt. The larger ones about 6ft. will take a little longer to flower.

Sorry to heat your news Jo - was only thinking yesterday that I had not seen you here for some time! I hope now that you are home again - you will gradually complete your recovery and be able to pop your wonderful creations here on 365 once again. Lovely shot to brighten the day !

Jo, 🙏for a full recovery. Lovely capture.

[Julie]

Hoping for a full recovery. So glad you had your daughter by your side.

[Mags]

Beautiful! Take care of yourself and get better.

[Joanne Diochon]

SO sorry to hear about your hospital time but glad you had your daughter nearby, even if it ruined your original plans for the visit. Do they have any idea how the clots started and hopefully how to avoid them in the future?

[Bucktree]

Lovely capture. God speed to a full recovery.

@gardencat still a puzzle how I got clots. Gone from 2 stomach injections a day to treating with tablets. Gonna be a slow process over a period of about six months.

My daughter was with us when I was rushed to hospital in June, we would have been lost without her there! Take things slowly!

Oh that's been a difficult time for you and your family. Lovely that your daughter time worked in so well.
Go gently. 🥰

[Madeleine Pennock]

A lovely image. I have just read your post and sorry to hear you have been quite unwell and obviously glad you are on the mend. With my nurses hat on, I dare say you are now on anticoagulants so out of danger, but have they found the cause yet? Wishing you well! x

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

@ludwigsdiana @sarah19 @marshwader Thank you for your best wishes. No closer to finding out the cause, but Tuesday will be my first visit to the clot clinic since being home.
