Home from Hospital!

And ....no

I don't look like her!!

Even though I am a farm girl

I came home from hospital

a couple of weeks ago.

....and I don't look like her either!!

It was a much bigger op

than they had intended

so I had to stay in longer

and since then have been 

heavily dosed with pain killers

so that I haven't felt like,

or been able to do,

very much

However

I am beginning to feel

a little brighter

and so wanted to thank all who sent cards

and good wishes for my recovery

I am told

that I have to stay heavily medicated

for a long time,

and that the nerves that were so badly crushed

will take a long time to regenerate

and cause a lot of pain,

and other strange feelings,

but that it will all be worth it!!

A few days after I came home from hospital

I had a phone call from a paramedic saying 

my mother had fallen in town

and was being taken to hospital.

She has fractured

her right wrist

and is badly bruised and has wrenched muscles

in her left side

Bless her heart she doesn't need this

as she is 93!

You may have read a couple of her guest posts

I find it very hard

as she lives 200 miles away

and I long to be able to go and help her

but there's nothing I can do!

Life's hard....isn't it!?

My daughter and family

came on Saturday

and took the Christmas tree and decorations

down from the attic

and yesterday

a friend came and put decorations

on these twigs

so I thought that I would show you

a few of the things

that I have collected over the years

Thank you all so much for your kind words

and support.

May you all have a Blessed Christmas

and a Happy and Healthy

New Year!

Do you think

I might look like her??

HAPPY CHRISTMAS

TO YOU ALL!!
