Winter Yellows by maggiemae

Winter Yellows

The only flowers around in midwinter are amazingly enough - the yellow rhododendrons.
I chose this shot apart from one that had a well focused bee on it.
Thankful for:
1. Sun in a day where other places got snow!
2. Took time and trouble to create a good lamb casserole - another photo.
3. Phone call on a Sunday! - the district nurse will come here to dress John’s new injury which I think looks awful! We will see what she thinks… why are they all female?
Gorgeous yellow flower! Lovely in winter! What has John done? Another injury? He really is going through the wars!

@pamknowler He scraped a bit of skin off his shin, Pam and it being aged ( as well as him) takes a bit of looking after. To me it looks like an ulcer now! We will see.

I'm looking hard! Is Yolander here somewhere?

@gamelee She is fairly near here, Lee but not in the picture - much to her disappointment!

So nice to have a beautiful flower in winter. Hope that the district nurse will be able to take good care of it quickly and it heals soon.

Gorgeous close up. Yellow is such a bright colour and ideal for winter.

@grannysue It doesn't look too bad today and he's got a patch of iodine on it to help!

Oh dear worried when I read this, legs can be very tricky as we get older. Is it the same leg as the other injury? I’m busy taking my DIL father to the surgery twice a week for leg dressings. They should come out to him really as he walks badly & then only with Zimmer frame but at least it gets them out & a change of scenery for the moment anyway. I’ve been hearing about the snow everywhere even as far up as Rotorua!

Ouchies, leg sounds worrying. Not cellulitis infection? Had that a few times myself. I sincerely wish him well and hope the district nurse was helpful. (Yes, why are they always ladies?)
Yellow is a great shade to have around in Winter, brings in the sunshine.

@happypat Same leg, same district nurse for the dressing! However they come to your home and have all that's necessary in a small suitcase. The nurse wrote down - 'very independent' on her record for John.... correct!

@casablanca No not at all - no infection yet - that's so important. I know that C.I. is awful! Hey, in the hospital there was a male nurse! He was good.
August 5th, 2019  
@maggiemae She’s right of course!

Beautiful

We have very few male nurses here as well. Hope this lady nurse can make John’s leg all better!
