Gentle posts for gentle folks

Oh my dear @Kaila, so sad to hear of DH's fall. Thankfully, only a broken finger. I say 'only' but I bet it's sore and mentally upsetting. What happened to you, were you injured somehow as well?

It might have reached 40F today!

I'm glad DH's doc visit was ok. Have a nice evening and a much better tomorrow.❤️

Kaila, you and your hubby have been through the wringer :(
However, the good news is, he didn't injure his head. I hope his finger heals well, and quickly.
Hugs to both of you, and wishes for a better day, today 🤗 🤗

Gosh, what a day it's been!
The medical appointment went quickly and well, this morning.

However, we then made a stop on the way home, and oh no!
DH slipped on a bit of ice, making it into a long stressful day at the hospital E.R. after that. 😮‍💨😔😵‍💫

Thankfully he is okay, but we spent several hours there, and he's very sore, etc.... and I too am extremely poor....

Glad he is okay enough to return home with me tonight.

Oh no! Hope he recovers soon. 🌷

Hello to all of you on Sunday!

Husband is better in some areas of his body, today, and worse in others, as he continues his slow, uneven recovery from his recent mishap. :rolleyes:

Myself, I am trying not to burn the candle at both ends, but is there any single end candle available?:unsure:

You asked if I got injured on Friday, and not directly.
What happened to me was the extreme physical overdo of everything that got packed into that long, demanding day..... coupled with the physical aftermath of spending many hours in a hospital emergency room ....
and add in the emotional toll of watching what my dh was going thru, at the same time as witnessing the other suffering humans in the E.R.
And in addition, the patient who was uncontrolled and a danger to patients and staff, and DH and I were the closest to that upset and scare, there.

Overall, my recovery took a big hit, and I was barely able to function, when we arrived back home, needing food and water, etc, etc.

No rest for the weary, we used to say, long ago.

I am managing bit by bit, so far.
I'm glad to come by here and see the welcome posts!
Thank you, all of you!
 
Good morning everyone...
Oh Kaila, I hope today is kind to you after your recent terrible day! For you and DH both.

It's one degree above freezing here...how about you?

I'm thinking of concocting a bean with bacon soup, sort of like the old Campbell's version my son loved as a kid, but home made with less salt. I think he would like that.

I wish you were here to help; I'd love to spend an afternoon with you making soup.

A smile for the K-posse:

I'd love to spend an afternoon making soup with you. Sounds wonderful. Both the homemade soup and the time we could share. 💗
Thank you for holding onto hope for me.
 
@Medusa
And
@Jules

Thank you both. For those validations.
From each of you.

Both posts mean a lot to me.
I sure have tried hard but today it did not feel like it's paying off.
Thank you for saying that the strongest among us would feel the stress. It helps to hear that,too.

I managed to get to an appointment for myself today but it was a difficult day.
Husband has appointments the next 2 days.

Thank you; I do love watercolors, and of nature subjects especially. And your (and others' here) thoughtfulness, I love and appreciate most of all, of course!

It reminds me of all of the uplifting pictures that members have been putting on this diary thread of mine.
Wonderful. Every one of them.
Such as the one from @Rossana of the elephant embracing a friend. 🥰
And the mug from @Medusa :ROFLMAO::giggle:

The appointment today, was longer than expected, with many parts and information overload, and I'm overly exhausted.
However, it's very good to have the access to drs and o.t.'s and others, And to have them local, as well.

Still, this appointment generated a few additional upcoming appointments, and there are so many, already. These recent days, it seems like each one has that outcome. My stamina level and strength do not seem high enough for this strange-feeling new-normal, but bit by bit....I am just trying to carry on.
 
You'll get through it all Kaila, I feel so confident for you.
Try to stay positive and eat very wisely and very well.

You know we believe in your capabilities and care very much for you.I suggest watching some funny animal videos on You Tube. Those always make me laugh and lift my mood; maybe yours too.

OK, enough outta me! Have a good evening.
