Saturday Sparks Link Party 611

Welcome to Saturday Sparks 611! 

 Starting off todays party with a little setback!


I took a hard fall this week and ended up breaking my hip.

I got home from the hospital yesterday.

Luckily for me, I am in good health otherwise and my recovery seems to be going better than expected.

The pain is minimal and I have a beautiful family that have been so helpful.

For this, I am more than thankful.

"Family are the compass that guides us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter. "

~ Brad Henry

    Suzanne, a fall like that has to be so mentally as well as physically challenging, knowing it's spring and you were likely ready for 'mud season' and beyond. I'm glad your pain is minimal, and hope the recovery is too. Please share more later if you're so inclined. Avoiding falling is something we all need to be aware of, and it's a big reason we moved into our current home (for its layout).
    Thank you for the feature among all the other inspiration. Easter blessings to you and your family.

      Thank-you, Rita! From what the nurses have told me, I am doing remarkably well. I think my yoga has kept me pretty flexible and that has helped immensely. It takes me 3 times longer to do anything, but I am well aware that things could be so much worse. Your Spring/Easter Tablescape turned out so pretty and as you may know, I am a big fan of all things blue. Have a beautiful Easter, my friend ~ Suzanne.

    So sorry to hear about your fall. They can be traumatic many times. I slipped on black ice and fell flat on my face in December 2022 pushing my front teeth up into their root canals and impacting my hands where and how I landed. Pray your recovery continues to go well.
