This garden of ours has two mature Ceanothus bushes which at this time, display a sensational blue colour! We have had to prune considerably as they hang over the lawns and smack our lawnmower people riding on their machines, over their faces!
Only 10 more photos to post and I will have reached 4000!
Thankful for:
Another Doctor’s appt and in spite of me saying my wound looks just awful, he said with a sympathetic smile on his face.. it looks good … going to take a while to heal as injuries on the shin do not have a good blood supply!
These look like trees, instead of bushes. Such a beautiful color. Almost 4,000 photos here, oh my. I’m glad your doctor is caring for your wound so often. It will get better, just a slow process.
That’s a stunning tree, it must really stop people in their tracks. I have only ever seen this plant as a shrub....this is enormous! Not often you see blue flowers!
Lovely blues! Glad your wound is healing well even if your expectations are a bit higher than the doctor's! Nearly 4000 shots is amazing, thanks for sharing them with us!
@mccarth1 I think if I had known what would happen after just getting a small carcinoma out, you would have had to drag me kicking and screaming into the operating theatre!
@shutterbug49 Its funny Ms Sh! I think I'm looking for sympathy and from365 friends I get 'good' etc which I have to thank them for the thoughts. Everyone around me says, its great to hear I'm improving but in actuality I'm swimming in self pity! If I showed a pic of my wound you would actually say, YUCK (in capital letters, of course) but the Doctors, hubby, nurse all say "looking healthy!
@maggiemae Not yet, thank goodness. I've spent much of my 77 years outside in the sun whenever possible so I have annual complete body mole-checks. Five or ? off my face, a couple of bigger ones with stitches, a couple off other bits of me and sent off for biopsy, all were OK in the end with a couple of nail-biters on the way. Plus two encounters with breast cancer, 1992 and 2014, surgery both times, radical axillary clearance first time, other stuff second time. Radio-therapy both times, first time really unpleasant, second time not too bad, all things considered. Tamoxifin for 5 years after second lot --> massive weight increase :( which I can't budge now I'm off the bloody stuff. No fun, but others have had far worse outcomes. But, as I've often heard from some older female golfers, while you're still on this side of the daisies things aren't toooo bad.
Crikey - you have had more than expected in your 77 years! I do think humour helps in times like these and puts us on the bright side of recuperation! Steroids are a pit!
Wow, great color! I’d love to grow one. I’ll take Margo's @s4sayer word for its ability to live in the northern hemisphere!
I’m sorry, having been absent for a while I did no know about your surgery. I hear you: we have a very different way to look ad wounds than doctors... Maybe not all are like the dentist of "Little shop of horrors”, but... Take care!
@golftragic No one wants to feel tragic. Drs appt today - he came in, peered, stood up and said,"Fine"! It doesn't feel fine - I'm underneath this ghastly flesh - they are all above! You just might make me smile, Marnie!
