Hi my dear friends, hope you've all had a good day today. I've had a steady stream of people in and out of my house all day long, so I couldn't get here.

I had PT, OT, bath aid, two friends, both DD's and one of my DD's was here twice. Loved it all, but it wore me out!! My world has gotten a lot smaller!! Sure hope it's worth it after all this is over with because I'm tired of it already and it hasn't even been a week yet!!

Don't worry, I'm playing the Pollyanna game; the blah, blah, blah's; the yada, yada, yada's; and the "I can do this" way of thinking stuff. Geez!! It's even a pain in the you know what playing all that positive thinking crap!! Ut oh...just a minute...okay, that's better. I had to give myself a little attitude adjustment. I'm okay now..LOL!!

So that's about it for my non-exciting world. The best part was seeing my DD's and my grandlove's. That really was fun!! I also got a phone call from our very own MM!! Loved that too!! What a nice surprise that was. :o))

I'm getting along okay & getting around all right. I didn't fall down today. One of the friends who visited me cleaned my house, which was amazing!! My other friend brought me a book from my Sunday school class and some more fresh asparagus, yum!! I'm staying on my WW points and my PT and OT persons will get me started with strengthening exercises on Wednesday. All good stuff!! My muscles are still sore from lugging this big ol' body around with a walker and wheeling this wheelchair over carpet with thick padding underneath. Umphhh!! By the time this is all finished with, I'll be able to beat any of you at arm wrestling!! Any takers?? Kathey?? LOLOL!!

Okay girlies, it's 10:03pm here and time for me to put it to beddy bye. Sweet dreams everyone and I'll see you tomorrow sometime.

~~~Hugs, Susie

Hugs,

Hi, Mom! I was on my way to bed too, but thought I would check the board one more time, and I'm glad I did.

Nice that you had people visiting and taking care of you today, and what a nice surprise to hear from sweet MM. I have to tell you that I almost called you today myself. I was just wondering how you were getting along. Glad you were able to stop by here tonight. You sound pretty darn good to me, like you have got it all under control.

Take care of yourself, and let others do for you for a while. You are blessed to have such caring friends and family.

Sweet dreams and we'll see you tomorrow. Love ya!....BB

Hi Susie...just checking The Garden before I head off to bed. Glad to hear about your day, sounds like you were one busy L'bug but so nice to know you have so many great people there to help take care of you.

Wishing you fantastic improvements each day...

I don't know about arm wrestling. I only did with my brothers and that's because they were really trying to break my arms (lol).

You have some really true friends to come and help you around the house. Maybe I should rent a wheelchair--no, my friends would just eat my food and watch TV (lol).

And a phone call from MM. How thoughtful of her.

Keep the faith and when you get the discouraged feelings just think of the Wiggles.

Love, Kathey

Oh Susie, it is so good to see you! Loved your attitude adjustment! All of that friendliness kind of gets one down after awhile. Just have DD put a sign on your door, "grands only".

You really sound fine. Keep that foot elevated! lol

Hey KS,

You go ahead and feel what you feel. It's hard to be cheerful all of the time, especially when you are uncomfortable. It's good that you have folks coming in to look after you, though, but it can get to be a little overwhelming. Are they bringing you lots of food? I saw where your friend brought you fresh asparagus. Those grandbabies of yours must be the best medicine with all of those sweet hugs and kisses.

Keep on getting better, Susie.

Hugs,

Dannie

Know it must be hard right now, you've been the caregiver, it's difficult to be the one on the receiving end, but let your friends and loved ones do for you....prayers and positive thoughts all goes well with your recovery....TJ
