Oh I know that tomorrow is the New Year and it usually starts off with a bang but hey I didn't wait for New Years , I did it on Christmas day and not in the best way . Let me explain , I had a fall early Christmas morning that resulted in a mild compression fracture of my spine , yep , you read that right , I fell that hard . I went to the emergency department of the local hospital where they asked questions and concluded that since I walked in I mostly likely just had a broken rib so they gave me a little pain killer and sent me home . I actually managed quite well on Christmas day , cooked our turkey and all the trimmings and then on Boxing day had my son and his family here for dinner and supper and again cooked the meals . Mind you I was hurting but didn't complain and enjoyed the visit very much . By the next morning however things were getting a bit much so I figured I had to have things checked out , the pain when I lay down was not good and movement was slow at best . So I had an Xray of my spine and yesterday the doctor called to confirm what I was already pretty sure of , the compression fracture ,which explains my discomfort . So this means that there will not likely be much happening here on the sewing front for a little while and not likely much in the way of blogging , who wants to hear about my aching body :-( I will try to do a little handwork to pass the time and have been slowly working on this little wool piece while I sit and dream of all the things I would like to be doing .
This project was a free pattern by the
Wooden Spool during a blog hop , hope I have that link correct . We had a green Christmas but Mother Nature has made up for that since then with not one but two storms , looks beautiful out there actually . Our little feathered friends have been very busy at the feeders and are a delight to watch .
These are mostly Goldfinch , I was so happy to see them as I thought they had gone away for the winter .
We also have these visitors to our property and I never tire of seeing them either .
They were digging up the snow to get at the grass below and you can see we definitely have snow .
I will leave you with my sincere wishes for a Very Happy New year and all the best for 2016 , I hope it is your best yet .
Thanks for stopping by and if so inclined please say some healing prayers for me , they would be greatly appreciated .
hugs Sheila
Prayers for quick healing! So sorry for your pain. I'm glad you made it through Christmas, but I hope you didn't worsen your condition by being on your feet so much. Take good care of yourself, and pop in when you're up to it. Hugs and prayers.... and Happy (?) New Year
ReplyDeleteOh, Sheila ... this is definitely not good news ...
ReplyDeleteBut these things happen and we have to face them with courage, right? I'm sure you will recover well and soon.
Tonight I'll be with my prayer group and ask especially for you.
I would love to be able to help with concrete things but I can only pray and sending good vibrations for you.
I wish a lot of patience and health for you.
A loving embrace.
Oh dear! If anyone needs good New Year wishes, that would so be you, Sheila! It can only improve from here...right?! Prayers are following. Nothing better to watch than Nature at work. Simple beauty. Adorable wool piece you are working on.
ReplyDeleteSheila, rest and enjoy your views, slow stitching will be the right New Years activity tonight. All the best for 2016.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Sheila, am thinking of you and pray for a speedy recovery. Take it easy and mend well. Winter is the perfect time to rest that back. Sending hugs!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you had an enjoyable Christmas with family - even though you were in pain. Take it easy and maybe you can catch up on some reading or movies. All the best for 2016. I'll say a little prayer for your speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteOh, sweetie - do take time to heal with this injury. Enjoy slow time - I know I did in a personal recoup time. Prayers for a healthy and happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteHi Sheila, sorry to hear you've done yourself an injury. Hopefully it will heal soon. Take care of yourself. Love your project. Happy New Year. Hugs,xx
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you have had a fall...wishing you a speedy recovery...that is a beautiful block you are working on. Look after yourself.....hope the new year treats you well.
ReplyDeleteOh dear! Poor you - that certainly sounds painful. Wishing you an improving 2016 - take care of yourself! Lynne.
ReplyDeleteOh no Sheila! You poor girl. What a painful thing to happen. Wishing you a speedy recovery.....I will send you some Reiki big hugs xxxx
ReplyDeleteOh let's hope you heal quickly and 2016 is a much healthier and happier year
ReplyDeleteThat is not the way to end the year....or start the new one. I did that years ago and it is no fun. Heal quickly.

Oh, I do hope it heals quickly, enjoy the handstitching
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year , dear Sheila !!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog.
Dear Sheila - So sorry to hear about your fall and resulting fracture. Oh how annoying, not to mention painful. I do hope that it is not too long before you heal and I send healing prayer to you. Not the start to 2016 that you would wish but I do hope that it will be a good year for you. xx
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your fall. Most definitely will get some prayers said on your behalf. Glad that you can at least do some hand work to pass your creative time with. The views from your windows are also a pretty darn good way to pass some quiet time. Maybe that's how you are supposed to take this time, as they say "Stop and smell the roses" . Will be thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteso nice your sheep Sheila. I love it. Today I'm pretty tired from celebrating yesterday. We went to bed at 5 o'clock in the morning. And at 9:30 I couldn't sleep longer. The whole day we spend on the couch looking New Years Concert of the Vienna Philarmonic Orchestra, the New Years Ski Jumping of the Vierschanzentournee (Tournament of 4 ski-jump) and the Darts World Championchip. I could not pull myself to embroider.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a Happy New Year 2016.
Waving greetings Larissa
Hope you are feeling better soon! Can I send you a quilted postcard? I just started a 1 Million Mile challenge and would love to include you. You can check it out at https://judystupak.wordpress.com/
ReplyDeleteGosh! What a crappy thing to have happen...especially at the holidays when things tend to be so hectic and busy. Take time to heal...hopefully it wont take too long before your comfortable again. Sending lots of extra good wishes your way!

ReplyDeleteOh dear Sheila, what a terrible way to end the year! I hope for a quick recovery!

ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your fall. It's not a great way to start the New Year but you're a fighter and I know you'll get through this. Sending you all my thoughts, prayers and a big virtual hug...but not too tight....I don't want to hurt you.
