OT: Bad news at my 6 week check up

Dee,

Keep up the good spirits, you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Hugs & God bless, Dennis & Gail

I forgot to mention I had a Hysterectomy 6 weeks ago ... for those of you who don't know. I pulled the stomach muscle cause I was doing too much too soon. :-(

Dee

Thanks a bunch Dennis & Gail .... whichever one you are. *wink*

If you have enough clothes to last two or three weeks, then don't worry about the laundry, or the housework until you have healed up completely. Cooking (this from someone who doesn't enjoy cooking, but I *can* cook and do it anyway) doesn't have to be hard work... sit down at the table or on the sofa while watching TV to peel vegetables (I do this all the time because I can't stand for long periods of time without my back and legs giving out on me), and unless you are cooking a HUMONGOUS turkey or something equally large lifting shouldn't be much of a problem. Cats are pretty independant... they just need food and water put down for them... that doesn't take a lot of work to do and shouldn't strain anything. As for the housework... leave the dust bunnies alone until you are healed... they don't eat anything, and don't chew on furniture. ;o)

Looking forward to seeing them.

Don't hold your breath. I'm not being mean... I'm just remembering my brother. He adored my parents, but as far as keeping in touch... Christmas, birthdays, Mother's Day, and Father's Day... that was it. He just gets so wrapped up in what he's doing in his own life (he is a ferrier... fancy name for a blacksmith, in case you didn't know) that he loses track of time gone by. So if your son doesn't keep in touch, don't assume it's because he doesn't care... he may just not realize how much time has gone by, so you'll have to be the one who does the calling.

Surfing is a form of exercise that could strain those muscles... not to mention break your neck (well, it would break MY neck). LOL

Hi DeeDee,

Also another lazy way is microwave foods. Very easy to do and you can keep them in the freezer. When you don't feel that great, they help and you won't be straining that pulled muscle.

Will be waiting to see the pictures.

Hugs and Prayers,

Nora

Oh no! That sounds Paaaaaaaaainful! Where do you live, Dee Dee? Is there anybody around who can peek in on you or run errands?

Dee Dee, Sorry to hear that are in so much pain but at least it's nothing too serious. You're just lucky that crocheting doesn't take much lifting. SO, REST NOW!!!

Hugs, Debby (FL)

Dee Dee I pray for the day when you are fit to do the "real" surfing God bless Gwen

DEE Please Heal quickly ,, breath carefully and GET WELL mirjam

Thanks guys! :-)

I'm taking it real easy now ... and back to taking the Darvocette ... tried everything else and nothing helped .. but this does. I slept well last night and had no pain ... so guess taking it easy makes a BIG difference.

I had a nice hot fudge sundae last night ... lots of hot fudge and cashews ... mmmmm!!!

I can't wait to show you guys some of my creations!!!

I so appreciate all the well wishes and concern .... somehow my family has never been good at that. Sure glad I found you guys!

Hugs, Dee

Thank you, Dee... now you have my mouth watering for a hot fudge sundae! LOL

I've seen *both* top and bottom posting on RCTY... I don't think most of us care all that much.

Thanks Gemini ... :-)

Hugs, Dee

Dee, Mea culpa for the tardy response to your post. Please know you've been in my thoughts..... Noreen
