I was so happy to at least get a few pumpkins and my candy corn lights out before I got so sick. Every day I try to get out on the porch and look at them for a bit.
The children come and visit...do a bit of dusting and put things where I want them. I would feel spoiled something awful if I felt better. As much as I love their attention I wish I didn't need it. I know they talk about me to each other...who will do what.."if" ..and that sort of thing. I hate to see the worry on their faces...and their extra bright smiles when I look at them. I thank God for all of them...every single day!
My daughter in Georgia has guided me through all of this from the very beginning back in July. She talks to the doctors office...the hospital...and saves me and my husband the stress.
I am beginning to feel this recovery is never going to end..but..it will! It is just slow. Back to the doctor later this afternoon for the results of the CT scan. My eldest son has busseled me off for acupuncture this past Monday, and Friday I go back. It's interesting.
They are bringing me food and more food made daily with all sorts of fresh goodies...
I wanted to show you these adorable Halloween dolls that I bought from an artist on ebay. I am always so fascinated what some people can do...so...I wanted to share..
I love the little crow with the stars on his hat. The pumpkin is precious with is legs, feet and hands all gangly! Of course they are his vines! Both are needle sculpted...I know they are strange but to me that makes them special...I have one more coming...and I can't wait. :)
If they are a bit too strange for you... :) I understand! The spookier looking the cuter! HOW on earth did she make those long fingers...what work went into these!
So...my sweet blogging angelic friends... I miss you! This is about all I can get done...and I want to say that I am so sorry I cannot do more at this time. I feel if I can at least get a post of sorts up, ..... :) I nearly promised you that I would never get sick again...and that I would visit you every single day...and how I wish I could make you that promise. All I can do is thank you over and over again for everything...and I will be so happy to start catching up.
I am going to try and visit a few in the morning...I MUST catch up a bit at least!
Many hugs and all my love goes out to you!
Mona

ReplyDeleteThinking of you today. Take care!!
ReplyDeleteYou are blessed with fantatic children, Mona; still sending prayers your way, as well as to Janine and Eddie.
ReplyDeleteYour children are lovely. I really like your pumpkin and crow. They are just a little scary and that is what I like. They're fantastic!! Thinking of you each day! Blessings.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful children! You raised them well Mona. God certainly blessed you. I love your scary little boos! Thank you for letting us know how you're doing -- getting well (with all the appointments and such) can just wear a person out! We love you dear lady! Hoping to "chat" with you soon.
ReplyDeleteStop it!! You are making me sad, Mona. With all you have been through in life, the hard times, the good times... there is still much you have to do in this world and I will not listen to the "what ifs" of your children. Fight my dear for I am not ready to let you go.

Good morning lovely Mona. I've seen you every day as I pull up by blog in your cute little pink robe and it reminds me to pray. Your children are doing just what you raised them to do so sit back, recover and let them spoil you just a bit. Girl, your deserve it. Your decorations are great, as usual.
ReplyDeleteTake care sweet lady and know we are all lifting you up in prayer. God is good~~
Oh, Dear Mona! I'm so sorry you've had this awful time! Thank God for your darling children helping you out! You just take care of yourself - we'll be here! Mona, you're in my prayers daily!

Mona, it is good to hear from you. You sure are lucky to have so many of your children near enough to be bringing food and checking on you. Bless their little hearts. Take care and will look forward to your next post....(((Mona)))
ReplyDeleteI get happy every time I see that You posted something :-)! Ofcourse You will recover even if it takes a bit longer than You hoped!
ReplyDeleteAll Halloween things looks strange to me since we don´t celebrate it over here :-) :-)
Take care now!
You are in my prayers!

Oh Mona, those little halloween creatures are so cute. I love how much you admire the work of artists and crafters and support them so much. I know they must make you smile everytime you see them.
ReplyDeleteI did a post for you on Oct. 16th, I had wanted to wish you a happy birthday as mine is also in Oct. No hurry to visit though. All in good time in when you feel better, and you will feel better! And when you are up to it I want to hear all about the accupuncture! I am so curious!
Please tell your childern how much we appreciate them fussing over you! We would be there doing it ourselves if we could.
Glad you're getting out to enjoy the nice weather,
Hugs
Dawn
