My husband was the stoic tyoe..and the pain was evident in his face..I have only sprained a toe and that hurt bad enough!
You are right..People don’t give much sympathy ..unless they have experiencd it.

Dolly, prayers have been constant, since I heard of your accident last night. I am so glad to hear that the break didn’t require surgery!

The picture you posted is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen! I’m saving it.

St. Thomas Hospital, Akron - that is where my son was born! Sounds like you had a very good doctor.

((((((((((((((((((((((Dolly)))))))))))))))))))))))))

Went looking for something red to post,in honor of our US Troops and Allies and came across this. Thought maybe You'd like to see/have/use it! :)

Beautiful scene!
Dolly..I was wearing leather soled flats and slid down a little concrete dip at the edge of my driveway..I caught the fall with the heel of my palm but my hip did hit hard..

I was in wonder that I did not break my hand, wrist..
I still walk there! ( Not sideways standing in slick soled shoes, though)Moral..It can happen at home.
I would not want you to give up your hikes..Going alone is tricky..It could have been an ankle.
I am so glad no surgery was required..and hope the vicodin works for you!
Thanks for the warning about the computer.
Take care..sounds like you had good helpers.

"Wear Red" Friday

You will soon see a lot of people wearing Red on Fridays. Here's why..... The Americans, who support our troops, are the silent majority. We are not "organized" to reflect who we are, or to reflect what our opinions are. Many Americans, like yourself, and all their friends, simply want to recognize that Americans support our troops. Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is starting Friday and continuing on each and every Friday, until this is over, that every red-blooded American who supports our young men and women, WEAR SOMETHING RED.

Word of mouth, press, TV -- let's see if we can make the United States, on any given Friday, a sea of red much like a home football game at a University. If every one of our memberships share this with other acquaintances, fellow workers, friends, and neighbors, I guarantee that it will not be long before the USA will be covered in RED - and make our troops know there are many people thinking of their well-being. You will feel better all day Friday when you wear Red! So let's get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays.

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE. FOR US, THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED!! GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Sorry, again.

[MEG33]

That is adorable, Amy!

[jaycee]

Thank you, Yorkie! Been working a bit and wow, lots of chatting going on! And I missed it. Will try to catch up!

[yorkie]

It must be past lunchtime in your part of the world, JC. My cinnamon rolls are rising in the kitchen. They will go into the oven in about ten minutes. (And you ‘right coasters’ are finishing up your hamburgers and turkey sammiches. Then there are those Alaska and Hawaii folk - having their first cup of coffee!) LOL

Well, talking about broken bones....I broke or cracked my tail bone one time and I was pretty young at the time. That didn’t make any difference in the pain I suffered for many, many days. Our oldest was still into Santa and we had the trunk packed with his things on the way to Bristol to grandmother’s for Christmas. Stopped at babysitter’s to give her a gift on our way out of town. I got out to deliver the gift and slipped on an icy sidewalk and feet flew into the air and I flat landed on my tail bone. It got numb a few minutes.

Had to go to emergency room and spend a couple of hours. Had to have a ring to sit on for the trip. Doctor said I could go if I sat on that.

To shorten the story, while at grandmother’s (my mom’s) I had to crawl on my hands and knees around the house for a couple of days. Worst thing I’ve ever experienced. We were living in Radford Virginia at the time. And in certain damp weather, I still experience slight pain in that area! Well, thats my story and I’m sticking to it.

Mornin’ Amy!

I’ve got my Palintology shirt on—but I’ve got an American flag sweatshirt over it—chilly here. Does that still count? LOL

[jaycee]

Dolly, I can’t believe you typed all that as well as you did with one finger?? Don’t think I could do that! Your news was good though, knowing you had no surgery, etc. But it doesn’t make the pain any easier, does it?

Just keep taking the pain medication until the worst is over. The body heals beautifully and thats a wonderful thing. Glad you can go to your reunion. I thought of that immediately! It will be nice and lots of fun for you.

Keep up your spirit and glad to hear you will continue your regular fun life when you’re better. Things just happen to everyone and we accept it and go on. (((Hugs)))
