I will survive

Sindy.. great to hear from you..!  Time  to take up the internet more..try to keep going on non-effort stuff..  Yes you know you need to heal up.. and as your doctor said, you are a mess inside full of mesh (unlike me I am full of s***).   Doing any internal damage is NOT allowed.. we all know it... Please do not risk it..!

Now write a few dozen words... telling me what a snot I am..   Saying the obvious... yadda yadda... heh..

So.. sit back, relax... maybe order some better quality cable TV to watch..  Or order delivery Pizza.. maybe the delivery guy will be a hunk...  I won't say take up knitting, you would likely poke me with that needle...

Hey Twinnie,

I am glad to see you have resurfaced, you sound good albeit still in pain. I missed the post earlier, so I hope you are still awake, I have been having tea and biscuits with Dr. War. You will be sleepy because your body wants to heal, most healing takes place when you are asleep. Also your body is probably still wondering what's hit it. Glad to hear you are taking things easy, just think of all the Judge Judy you can catch up on:) It's on a loop over here, you can watch her all day and night if you so desire.

I am glad it's all done and dusted, I know it will take a while to heal, but you can look forward to a much more comfortable future. 

Take care my friend:)

oh sorry!

All that you had to go through!  I do understand though the "need" to clean, grocery shop, and toss ones' wonderous grandchild about, but your cost 8-(

As for daytime TV - agreed - IT SUCKS!  That's why they invented DVDs, netflix, and DVRs (or even "on demand" depending where you are.  SO many great TV (BBC, PBS, HBO) series out there!  Now is the time? 

Or can you do one of my husband's fovorite "exercises" - hammock holding? 8-)

Wishing you well, lots of rest, and some really good books.

Laurie

I know you  will heal. You make us proud. Can we change your name to Patches?

If the Jeeps are too much

If the Jeeps are too much temptation, I will gladly take one, or both of them off your hands.

My first car was a 1992 Wrangler, and I still miss it to this day. 

Have you considered a fold up step stool?  We got one for grandma to get into my Expedition after she lost her leg strength.  It folds and has a moulded in handle in the middle of the step.  Hook a cord to the handle and you can pull it in after yourself.  It folds flat.  Then you could open it and lower it to the ground to exit.

Or, you could stay home and behave yourself.

Hope the recovery goes well.

Luv, Donna

It would have been better if you had been basking in the sun on a lovely beach surrounded by palm trees...but you needed this beast removed.  Glad it is over. Now on with the healing. Don't you have a 50th birthday coming up soon? Better get healed up, girl!

I used to hate Judge Judy, but now I love her. There is something satisfying about how she can get away with telling people that we are too polite to say....such as "get a job!" or "if you don't like it, move!". She is really awesome! We need more of her.

You are a strong one, no doubt about it. I admire your son for serving his country - but man, that is hard on mothers! Keep thinking of when he will be coming home.

So cozy up on that couch, read a good book, watch movies, and enjoy the serenity!!

Big hugs,

Jojo

Patches

I love it, fox!  I may just do that, change my name to patches.  It's perfect!  I have been thinking of changing my screen name/email address from twinthings, as, several ppl at work tease me for it.  I never gave it much thought till I went to work in a male dominated industry with men who have only two things on their minds .  I'm getting tired of explaining I am the mother of twins.  So, perhaps I'll do something with Patches. 

I hope all is well with you.

Sindy, aka Patches

Hey,

I think Patches is a brilliant choice, you can always rely on Fox. It will go just great with the new pic, I love the cheekie chappie in the back seat, he looks so cute in his little hat. I am quite fond of the one in the front seat too:)

Ok then Patches:)

Thank you, Laurie, for the

Thank you, Laurie, for the suggestions.  I have a DVD but don't know how to use it.  I DVR everything because I hate sitting thru commercials.  I do have On Demand and Netflix but can't seem to stay awake thru an entire movie.  I know with time and healing, I'll be sleeping less.  I am not one who usually requires much sleep.  I'm a night owl and an early riser so this sleeping all the time is for the birds.  Maybe this is what depression feels like?

My daughter lives out of state but sent me a care package with all kinds of good stuff, including a plethora of magazines and books.  And, I do have a hammock down by the pond but I'm afraid IF I could get in it and get comfy, I wouldn't be able to get out, without assistance.  Maybe I can before long...something to look forward too, I suppose.

Thank you for the well wishes.

Sindy

I read a lot of books while I was "recoverying", actually like them better than shows anyway.  I did catch up on my favorite BBC series and a such though - that was nice.

As for the hammock and not being able to get out...when I was 9 month with my daughter I got in our hammock.  After getting settled, I moved just right and...PLOP.  Oh what a sight I must have been!  A little person that looked like they swallowed a VW sitting down hard on the ground!  After laughing myself to tears - I have not gotten back in one again since (daughter is now 27). 8-)

Don't know where you live, but it being summer (unless you are Down Under), at least you can sit outside.  Maybe dabble gently in the garden?  Maybe look for a car lower to the ground ...like a Porche?

Am just glad you're on the mend and have a sense of humor.
