jagsfan Posted September 1 #128451 Share Posted September 1 (edited) @dani negreanu it’s Mimi. I had to come and give my deepest sympathy for the loss of the 6 Israeli hostages. It was such an inhumane thing to do, and words can’t describe the horror. I’m still praying for peace and the end of the suffering on both sides. I am so sad for the families of the hostages. Maybe this tragedy will somehow bring an end to this war. Stay safe, Dani. on a personal note, I am still confined to bed and wheelchair. I’m having therapy twice a week, and am learning to stand up at the walker from my wheelchair. seems so easy, but I’m only allowed to put 30% of my weight on my still healing leg, and my other leg won’t hold me up, so it’s a little depressing. The 13th I go for X-rays again to see how much my femur has healed. It will be the four month anniversary of my fall. I’m hoping that my orthopedist will say I can move to 60%. It’s hard not to step down on my leg, which has always been my stronger leg, so I’m concentrating on that, on using my knees to stand up, and to get my hands on the walker without pulling it over…I’m a mess! I’m aiming for at least being on the walker by my granddaughter’s wedding Dec 14. That would be 7 months after I fell. Tge good thing is that I was healthy for another granddaughter’s wedding May 4. it was 9 days later that I took a step that wasn’t there! Here’s Dick and me after the wedding. I’m so grateful it happened 9 days after instead of 9 days before! I miss you all and will be back when I have my life back!

Since we had no sea days on that sailing, they didn’t serve lunches True! Lobster rolls were for lunch. (Wonder) Also for dinner there was a Mexican Shrimp Cocktail, which was fantastic.

MJSailors Posted September 1 #128457 Share Posted September 1 @jagsfan Mimi! I was glad to see the photo of you and your hubby, but my heart went out to you when I read your post. I am a frequent reader here, and an infrequent poster. I just had to respond to what you wrote. I am hoping that each day brings a bit of progress for you. Having your granddaughters’ May wedding certainly gives you a goal. We all need something to give us motivation. Maybe posting here once in awhile may lift your spirits. People on Dani’s thread are kind and understanding. Prayers and good thoughts for better days for you. MJ👩🏻 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckynana Posted September 1 #128461 Share Posted September 1 @jagsfan You and Dick make a beautiful couple, Mimi! Blue is definitely your color! I know you've been going through so much since your fall, and you are making progress (albeit too slowly for you) it's really tough to not put your weight on your foot, but you seem to have figured it out, by using your knees and hands to get up. Your determination will have you up and dancing at your granddaughter's Wedding come December. You've got this!!❤️ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted September 2 #128471 Share Posted September 2 Have a great Labor Day everyone. Yesterday, we were out hiking and adding to our step count. Looks like it is time to get moving to keep my goal streak alive. Looks like the old log cabin is not true to its roots. It probably did not originally have electricity. Found a turtle family. I thought we were getting near the end of flower season, but found a few nice plants. Hibiscus Giant Ironweed Asian Taro 20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
