Rain, A Gift, And I’m Back In The Steel Boot

wed5

Today it is gloomy and raining outside. I’ll take the gloom because we so need the rain.

Yesterday I went to the orthopedic center. I’m now back in the big steel boot. I knew something was wrong, but not exactly sure what it is yet.

I do feel like I’m going backward instead of forward. First I’m told to do my therapy and exercises. Now I’m told it will aggravate things, as they believe this to be an entirely new injury.

The female doctor/PA was one I’d never seen before. When I questioned how this could happen, a whole different injury right around my ankle, I wasn’t entirely happy with her response. “Ma’am, you’re 55 years old. You’ve had a very bad fracture. This stuff is just going to happen.”

I’m a little down right now. I’m trying to make things to put in my Etsy shop, since I can’t use the sewing machine to make pillows. I am having to cut back on something. So for now I will not be posting on my other blog for awhile. If anyone needs help, all they need to do is email me. And I’ll be happy to help if I can.

The beautiful stoneware pitchers I’m highlighting, the smaller ones in front, are two my very good friend and faithful reader Carol so generously sent me the other day. A great addition to my collection on the mantel. She couldn’t have chosen better if she’d been looking at the ones I already had.

Aren’t they gorgeous? And that wasn’t all. Look at the chicken and rooster salt and pepper shakers, and the very dainty teacup and saucer. I was blown away by the beauty of it all.

Please know I am ever so grateful for all your thoughts and prayers. I really hope I can get this injury under control before I lose my Cobra coverage in May. Right now I’m not betting on it.

Please cross your fingers for me. I need all the good karma I can get right now. And you, my dear friends who have always supported me when I needed you, give me hope and light at the end of the tunnel. And I’m ever so grateful.
