Short & Sweet

I literally have hundreds of sweet emails wishing me well that I cannot answer because I still only have the use of my left hand and have not been on the computer.


Please know that I will respond when I am better.


 At least the beach has been gorgeous and I am able to sit and read most days.


I am able to do Instagram (saving my sanity) because I can easily scroll through and comment with just one tap of the finger.


I thought you might get a kick out of the comment I put with today's picture on Instagram - Bobbie of Cottleston Pie has promised not to judge me.


Thank you for all of your loving concern - I hope to be back visiting soon!

  4. I do hope you will heal quickly and be able to use that hand soon. I hope you have a lovely visit with your friend. I also hope the dog learned he can't eat certain things :)

  14. well, if you're resting your hand because of your surgery, then that's a good thing! That hopefully means that you're closer to having it healed and cured! That comment you left on instagram was hilarious. At least you had a good attitude about things.

  16. I have been worried about you. What do the doctor's think about your hand. I love your explanation of the photo.
    Oh y you have a lot on your plate. I wish I was closer to help you. I am in a cleaning mode. I have to baby my arms because of the rotator cuff issues. But my hand is hurting too. I kinda stumbed my ring finger. Not bad but way back in December. It stays swollen between the knuckles and it hurts. Also my hand is swollen and hurts. I had it x-rayed in December. I'm sure you don't need to hear my problems when you are suffering.
    I bet it is pretty there in your cottage. HUGS and feel better.

  22. It is so hard not to use your hand after the surgery. I am not a good patient at all. Somehow I got through it. Enjoy your beach and reading. At least you can get lots of ideas for things to do when you can use your hand again.

  23. Funny comment!! Hope you're well on the way to a mend. I loved reading about Steve's paintings a few posts back. Lovely stuff.Do take care!

    I am so blessed that she has offered to be my host for the next 5 days ~ and don't worry; I'm taking good care of she and her wrist!

    For those of you who haven't met her ~ she is as sweet and as dear as her lovely blog is ~

  37. There's a book in the stores - my younger sister gave it to me. It's called Full Catastrophe Living. I haven't read it yet but I look at the title and know it was written for me, right now! Perhaps you'd like to share it.............I feel so badly for you and hope that you will soon have everything back to normal!

  40. Carol, my heart is with you. I had my right hand in a cast for six weeks . . . believe me you will learn to do many things with your other hand, while in the healing process. It's hard, but soon it will be a memory :)
    God bless you . . . listen to your doctor and get well soon.
    We love you,
    Connie :)

  46. No one worthwhile will judge you, that is for sure! Take all the time you need to convalesce and do not try to rush your recovery as that might slow it. Enjoy that gorgeous beach!

  57. My hands are fine, but my computer is giving me such troubles, I hope not to just crash and never return, so posting everyday is hard lately. But, that is nothing compared to your hand troubles. Loved the photos and Instagram message is too fun and I will go look for it.
