Hi
@Mitzi Up early my feet are jumping and feeling tired but cannot sleep. Had a nice day today and sun was shining. How is Pumpkin hope alright has things improved . No snow for a while so far about two weeks since it has snowed and hope it just keeps melting do not want more snow.Where is all the snow coming from this year good that your neighbor plowed your snow out for you and that would save so much shoveling have to be so careful that you take it slow shoveling hope your husband is taking it slow. It will be nice for you to have time with your son and his family for Easter and how wonderful to hear you have a new little grandson congratulation such a special time.
How awful that your friend had such a terrible accident how much she must have felt so scared and the pain would be unbearable how awful. Things like this happen and wonder how or why accident but good that she did not open any blood vessels this is a blessing although sad she went through what she did. She might have been worried what they would say if she went to have it checked at the hospital always expecting the worst as we all do but good she had the doctor check it out . Was her knee damaged before the fall almost like something was trying to tell her but too bad that she had to have the fall.
My brother was the same way the year before their wedding working extra to give his girlfriend the type of wedding she wanted and he had his leg badly damaged to the point that they did not know if he would keep it he was only 23 at the time work accident transformer chest fell from track running along the ceiling at the company he worked for and passing through one night not even his department on his way home the track gave out and down the chest fell crushing some of his leg. He is alright now one leg a little shorter but you would not know the difference he has his shoes for that foot made special.
My husband got hurt at work to maybe 12 years ago worked the night shift together and a ladder that was faulty fell with him on it broken wrist serious break on the bend and not sure they would be able to give him the movement back as to where it was broken he worked so hard to do what he could to keep things alright with lots of physio and now doing alright most bend came back but a little bend in the way it went back together. I am so thankful to his surgeon he was so good with him and cared.
I know what you mean sometimes you feel just do it always could and then find out that it is a little harder then before hard to slow down and understand it do not want to feel like getting older but it happens I do the same and my husband says your job is to sit at this time relax for now your knee looks swollen or sore you have done enough but hard to sit when knowing he is tired to and I am not helping but that is how we do it both take turns and when one is needing to rest the other fills in but seems he is filling in after my surgery all the time. It will get better knee just needs time and then things will feel a little more like they did.
Our bodies tell us when we have done too much even if at the time we did not think we did but bodies say now time to take it a little slower. I live about 2 to three hours away from the Canadian side of Niagara falls. It is a beautiful place very busy with tourists amazing to see the water. Thousand islands I have not been there but the Island you mentioned after looking it up is around Montreal I think I read quite a ways from us. It is funny but so many of us here travel to the States and some overseas but many do not see our own country. Beautiful most of our holidays have been in the Northern part of Ontario where we live. I love going up North beautiful there lots of nice places to go camping and cottages but the cost has really gone up.
Our first year married my husband and I rented a cottage in Parry Sound up along the trans Canada highway unbelievable the cottage was a just a bedroom and little bathroom and lovely warm coleman gas burning stove to heat it. it was log type cabin and sat along a hillside up from the water. That year we had a hurricane never knew till the morning when seeing roofs and boats overturned saw lots of rain but slept through it. This is where we vacationed during the summer for a few years but in different places up that way loved it. The cost of renting cottages now has gone up so much last one we split with my brother and it was over 600.00 for the week and probably 20 years ago highway is so fastpeople drive so fast now so stay home go on day trips instead come home to our own bed and home.
It is nice you will have your husband home must feel so nice for him after driving so much in his truck coming home to you and getting to have time together. I love the time my husband and I have to so many years of working and so rushed now a little more to take time with not so much rushing lots of doctors and medical stuff with the two of us together but better then before trying to fit it all in wondering how we did it during the time within the three years before our jobs we gone after 38 years store closed all of these stores went out we were with my parents many days after working came him in morning tried to help with their things before going to bed always felt so tired but happy we did it as my Dad is no longer with us,
Without this time would not have had the precious moments even if they were to take him to doctors or visit in places he was placed and this would have been our loss happy to have shared the time we did no longer can do it.Sometimes makes you wonder if things are meant to work out a certain way so worried about our long term jobs going and other the other hand this was when the need to see my parents came along even more. Just hard to miss the paycheck started on pensions but what would have happened if jobs stayed and no time to fit it all in although we did fit it in before that but took a toll my husband had just got out of the hospital a month before this serious almost died then all of this but it worked out for getting time to be part of them. He is wonderful always saying you need to help them to and he helped so much . This is when we see we are even stronger then we thought needed to be.
Hope you have a nice weekend take it easy on your knee hope you and your husband enjoy your time. I am sure you will probably like my husband and me. All the best and hoping that Pumpkin is alright to and all the best. Holly
