well, i am over my blues and i have to thank my strokenet family for the support! the blog last week really helped me put things into perspective. getting down is so tough - i think when i feel gloomy or sorry for myself i am being weak. someday i will really believe that feelings are just part of being human!

well, i spent most of friday in the er - in a odd moment i asked my husband for a hug - he hugged me and we heard the most awful sound - major pain - found out the hug tore ligaments and some carteledge(sp) in my back - on the affected side which of course is rather weak. good thing i did not ask for anything else. lol! now i am using my heating pad, taking pain pills and must once again practice patience as this will take time to heal. i plan to watch some bad tv and chill out. boring!!!!!

everything is in bloom here - it is so very lovely! all the color really lifts the soul's spirits. i plan to put my hummingbird feeder up this next week. i was reading that they have begun their migration north and should be arriving soon. yipee! also, we have a little sparrow nesting in a bird box in our back yard area. she is quite busy and pokes her head out several times a day - probably taking a break from her eggs. i was brushing the dog a few days ago and several birds came up to take the hair for nesting. now that is recycling. many snowbirds are returning now from thier winter condos but i wonder with the constant increase in gas prices how busy the cape will be this summer. the ferry to the islands hiked ticket prices by $2 - which is a hefty increase. anyhow, i still have a million things to do to get settled but i will get to them as i can. i hope everyone is having a beautiful spring! cheers! kathy

Kathy, it is funny how one ill counteracts another. My Mum once met her two brothers at the airport and the younger one hugged her enthusiastically and broke three of her ribs. That was a souvenir for her to remember him by! Unfortunately she neve saw him again, he lives in England and she never went back for a visit.

 

The "it must be my fault" theme is common among women I think. Every time something happens to Ray I say:"What did I do wrong?". Failing health is not a sign of personal weakness, it happens to us all.

 

Enjoy spring and your birdwatching, we have bright colored parrots called lorikeets sipping nectar from our gum blossom, soon they will head up north for the winter and we will be left without their movements to enjoy.

 

Hope you feel better soon.

 

Sue.

 

PS no hugs....just in case...lol.

gentle gentle (((hugs))) coming your way dear lady. Hope you feel better soon. I worry about that too sometimes as Kiddo forgets her own strength sometimes and engulfs me in a massive hug. She has learned though to remember balance issues as many times I've almost toppled over.

you remind me of the princess and the pea :giggle: I hope you heal quickly. :cheer:

 

I love watching the birds too, this year we have some of those red winged black birds and there are one or two mean ones... they like to fly to the dogs bowl on the porch and steal his food... really annoys the poor old boy.

 

take care of yourself and feels better.
