Fav Fortia et Patere

I'm having one of those days, when my shoulder aches a LOT  and I feel it radiating down my back and shoulder. I know it's from that awkward movement a couple of days ago, when I moved suddenly and felt pain blazing across my back. I'm beyond annoyed with it. Plus it's humid, so breathing is a bit challenging. 

 My cooking plants are starting to grow. I'd like to pretend that I'm growing them, but Helga sent me seeds for pimentos and chado beni. Don planted them while I was in hospital, and they are starting to grow. It will be a great moment when I can pick my peppers and make my own green seasoning! I can sometimes find ingredients at the Chinese grocery or if I make it to a Caribbean supermarket, but it's great  to have a supply of fresh herbs to supplement when I have in my pantry. 

I'm still not able  to go out as I'd like and I've been restricted to being home and getting deliveries to supplement my meals- but I'm not thrilled with the choices-or the prices! I'm slowly adding dishes back to my menus, as my energy fluctuates. It’s rewarding to find that  I am improving, even in small steps. I know that I’m overusing this expression but it’s so apt😭  I'm relying on several friends who are still providing me with meals and making my life easier." very thankful for them and for how they have relieved some of the pressure on me "

I would love to imagine that we cease to lockdown now that vaccination rates are as high as they are now. It would be great if we were able to resume daily life and go out.  For myself, I’m looking forward to resuming my normal life, doing my cooking and some activities daily.  I know, take my time. Be patient. Etc. Good night!  I’m getting quite sleepy 🥱

This scarecrow is me, taken about 5 minutes ago.  I’ve had to be admitted urgently to the hospice, and that required my doctors to be as persuasive as possible while I argued to avoid this fate.  However, I was not doing well at home, and I couldn’t walk more than a few steps, I wasn’t eating a lot and struggled to breathe; made worse trying to find a spot that was comfortable for me to sit without aggravating the sore on my back.  The room is private, fairly large and I’m in the bed.   I felt bad leaving Don; he barely had time to register that I was going before the transport guys were wheeling me out on a stretcher.  Jerry is very annoyed and wouldn’t stop barking… but anyway, they got me here, installed me, and I’m ok.  The staff have all been very kind and helpful, and they seem very committed to ensuring that I’m well cared for.  We hope that a few days of rest and food on demand will make a difference to my recovery. Meanwhile, though, I’m in ro...

Hospice

 The staff here are really lovely They do a great job of looking after me. They do a wonderful job of ensuring that improve cared for.  I’m happy with them, My sister surprised me with a visit to check on the facility and we had a short time together but fun.  I had a couple of bad days which are improving. That meant several nights of no sleep so it’s starting to improve. Short note but I’ll update when I have more energy. Good night
