One Day at a Time...

i am being well cared for...


and lovef...


adn protectd...

;-)

I'm teasing!  That's a good sign, right?
I am getting a little better each day and the pain is finally reaching a more bearable level.  Of course I am now on the maximum dose of oxycoden.  I will see my surgeon next tuesday to check on how the prosthetic and my arm are getting along.  I can't use my left hand or arm for ANYTHING until the doctor gives me the go-ahead.  I am SO   grateful for all of the help and support (both physically and emotionally.  I still need 24 hour care and if it wasn't for the selfless love of my daughter, Pam, and my baby sister, Penny, who have taken numerous days off work to be at my side.  I am also grateful for the dear friends who are 'taking shifts' or 'having slumber parties' at Nancy's house  this weekend and until the doctor gives the OK for me to be alone, so that I can stay in my home during this difficult part of my recovery.  I can't go out by the sheep but as you can see in the photos, my dogs and cats are a great comfrt to me...

DREAM says...


"I sure hope you're better in time for lambing, Mom.  Pam told me she doesn't know the first thing about helping a sheep have a baby!  I told pam that we pretty well know what to do and take care of things ourselves anyway"

"Since there wasn't any interesting SHEEPY NEWS in the blog (again!) today, you might as well hop on over to Verde Farms, "FARM FRIENDS FRIDAY" event.  Heck!  I'm so bored that I  may go check things out!


  "Oh yes, that's right.  I cant't go any where.  Mom needs me to hang around and be in charge of things!"

  5. Nancy, I'm wondering if that's some sort of ancient healing circle that your crew is forming around you in an effort to get you back on your feet? Okay, maybe you and your bed are just very comfy! :-)

  8. Well look at you! I'm sure there are some folks who would change places with you if they didn't have to break an arm to get there. You look mighty comfortable. I'm sure the heavy meds help.
    I love all the moral support from your animals. There's nothing more wonderful than a purr or a wet nose to make you feel better.
    Take care and heal....

  9. I just 'met' you through FFF. I'm so sorry that you broke your arm and then had to have surgery. I love your spunk! I find it so sweet that your pets are keeping you company... especially the cat, sleeping ON you! How sweet.
    I hope you feel better (without meds) soon!

    Continue getting well! ♥

  18. I sure hope the pain gets less every day, and quickly, too. LOLing over your cat on your hip - that is also Emma's favorite place to sleep! She also walks on my keyboard - maybe your kitty could type for you?

    Best wishes and warm hugs from Emma and me.

  19. Nancy - I feel for you. I fell several years ago and did a number on my elbow and shoulder - although not broken - it was painful.
    I wish I lived closer so that I could come and help out, but I am so glad that you have family and close friends to help you out.
    I will be thinking of you - get better quick.
