Letters from the Laptop

I bet you’re wondering where I’ve been and why I haven’t posted anything lately. Christmas morning I ate the ice and broke my ankle upon the fall. I’ve been laid up…literally…since then, except for the ER visit and my trip (no pun intended) and to the bone doctor yesterday. I’ve been in a splint since my ER visit and have been taking pain pills to keep the pain tolerable. Sadly, I will be needing surgery. The Dr wants to put a pin in my ankle which upon research seems quite common for the type of break I have. I’ll be heading out early Saturday morning to the hospital and my surgery will start at 7:30 AM. I would dearly and greatly appreciate any prayers that you could send up for me. The past week has been many things, from frustrating, tearfilled, humorous, impatient, fearful, sleepy, slow, as well as a learning experience I don’t wish to ever relive. I’m doing my best to find the good in this situation, to make those around me laugh, and to keep my spirits up as well. I’ve been sleeping, reading, watching tv, sleeping, sleeping, and tossing and turning on the couch that now has a permanant imprint of my butt. I’m hoping that a few days after surgery I will have the strength, stamina, and desire to sit up and doodle a bit. I still plan on making my art classes that I had mentioned before Christmas. I know my emails are piled to the roof on my computer but I can’t make it that far yet without complete exhaustion. I will have my hands and eyes full by time I can get to my PC. I hope that your New Years Eve is far better than mine. I have high hopes for 2010 and I’m not going to let this get me down. I’ve ordered some books on marketing to stuff my brain with knowledge during my down time..In other words…I’m making lemonaid! If you’re sitting on lemons as I am.. toss in some suger and make the most of your situation…no matter how hard it seems to be. We’ll make it through this together.

Oh, Tammy! I am so sorry to hear about all this! What a bum deal! You get extra points for your positive attitude. Keep us posted on your recovery–and I hope it is swift and flawless.

Here’s to a speedy recovery, Tammy! You’ll have time to prioritize and think about the goals for this year. That may be the gift–to slow down and discover what is most important in your life. Sometimes we get so busy we forget to “live.”
