For me January and February are usually difficult months and 2025 ran true to form. Early in the month I woke one morning with incredible pain in my leg, worse than when I was waiting for the knee replacement. Jim and Sheena, one of my cousins, managed to borrow a wheelchair so I could get to the car, and between them they took me to the doctor. Strong pain killer and physiotherapy. I felt more than a little light headed while taking pain relief but eventually everything settled down.
That had eased when I had a "digestive episode". You don't want/need to know any more. Except that things were a little miserable for several days until that settled.
So, my post on being OK (which I wrote between these two incidents) was very necessary and hearing that lots of other people are also surviving by being OK was very comforting. Thank you to everyone who commented.
I have high hopes for March! I'm starting the month with eight days dog sitting which is going well. When I get home I am looking forward to pottering around my garden and making a few plans. Jack and one of his friends are coming for tea one day so I have to be on my very best behaviour and I have high hopes that his friend will make sure Jack is on his best behaviour too.
The weather here is gloriously sunny at the moment so I may take advantage of that with a couple of days out.
And with good luck and a following wind I may get a few more blog posts written.
I am so sorry you have had a difficult time since Christmas. I hope that as the Spring blossoms arrive, and Easter approaches, you feel brighter and stronger ❤️ 🙏
ReplyDeleteI'm already feeling brighter and stronger, thank you. Enjoy your special time away.
DeleteI am pleased to hear you are feeling better, it's was a horrible time for you, dog sitting sounds fun as does a visit from Jack.
ReplyDeleteThank you. And Jack will be flattered.
DeleteI've been wondering about you but attributed your silence to the time of year. Glad to read you are well now and have the energy to dog sit. Our granddog will be with us for a week in April while family goes to Walt Disney World and the Ocean. Say hello to Jack!
ReplyDeleteDo granddogs get as spoilt as grandchildren. I hope so!
DeleteI'm hoping March is much better for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I think it has to be.
DeleteI am so sorry that the past months have not been the best for you. Enjoy the dog sitting, puttering around planning the garden, and having Jack and his friend visit. I am looking forward to a few more posts from you over the next month.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
