WELL COMPANY'S GONE AND I'M BUSY WATCHING THE CLOCK.......


At last report, we were anxiously awaiting our reunion with my husband's college and childhood friends.  My foot was in a Darby boot and I was attempting to be the "hostess with the mostess". 

Well, we pulled that off; everyone had a great time and we got caught up on years of news.



I got through the weekend fairly uneventful knowing that I would see an orthopedic surgeon at 9 a.m. Monday morning.



My husband went with me to hear what the doc had to say.  We arrived on time and were ushered right in.  To be told that surgery was not necessary as I have a condition called 
Freeburg Disease.  Whatever THAT IS!!!!!  Anyway, I left the office wearing this little beauty.



I know, it looks like a boot one of the soldiers from "Star Wars" would wear.  Anyway,
I have to wear this little beauty for six, YES I SAID SIX, weeks.  UGGGHHHHHH!!
Whilst attempting to stay off my feet as much as possible.

So, as I said, I am busy watching the clock.  One day down......only forty-one days to go!!!!

Guess I might as well enjoy it ........ since there is not one thing I can do about it!!!

Blessings dear friends,

Jo

  2. Well, I am so happy to hear that you don't have to have surgery, for me that is always wrought with complications. And at least the weather is perfect as far as keeping the foot the right temp in that contraption! It won't be fun, but neither is surgery. Have you Googled for info?

    Thinking of you, Jo.

  5. Hello Jo, I too am happy to hear you do not have to have surgery, but sorry you have to wear that awful thing on your leg and foot! Please take care of yourself and rest! Thanks for visiting me today... not sure if you read the post just before the one of mine that you commented on... I did a post about "Aging Gratefully" and I put a link to your cute post about "Reinventing Yourself" and how we don't want to!!! Hope the pretty Spring weather will make you feel better! xoxo Julie Marie

  6. Hi Jo, glad to hear no surgery is in the forecast, this is a good thing. I am with you, sit back and enjoy your six weeks of down time, it will fly by as long as you aren't watching all those clocks. Goodness you have lots of clocks to watch, beautiful clocks. Keep us posted on the adventure. Glad to hear you had a good time on the weekend.

    I pray that the time remaining will only be a time of FULL HEALING for you, and that this condition will subside. Then I hope that you will be able to MOVE ON and get out there and enjoy the new season!!!! Thank you for coming to see my glitter post. You are so kind.

    HAVE A LOVELY EVENING! Anita

  8. So glad you got through company and even enjoy conversation. Even better news is that no surgery for you! I love you boot and yes you might have some fun with it. What would be your Star Wars name? Do you have cinnamon buns for your hairdo? If your six weeks goes as quickly as this year is already going you will be out of that boot in no time. Happy healing...

  14. Sorry about the knee high contraption Jo...but at least you don't require surgery!!! That is a good thing!

    I know it is difficult not being as active usual...is there something you've always wanted to do, but never had the time(have to be able to do it sitting of course :0))...there you go you can give it a try now!!!

    Cheers

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right after the war...when I was quite young.  Memories are almos

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
