Well, it has been over a week now since my accident and I am so happy to say that I am on the mend!  I am even typing this post myself! (My DIL typed for me last week!)

My cut is healing well and the bruises are turning beautiful colors, so that is improvement.  I cannot lift anything over 10 lbs for another week or two, so I am still very limited.  I do not have any external stitches, rather, they super glued the top layer together, so that is great that I do not have any outside stitches that will need to be taken out.  My energy and strength are slow in coming back, but I will just take it one day at a time.

My family has been amazing!  My daughter has stepped right in and taken over with so many different things, that I don’t know how we would have done it this past week without her.  And all while she worked full time too!  She is a keeper.  My son in law text-ed me and ask if he could come and water my pots, and he knows how many pots I have and he still did it.  It has been in the 90’s all week, so they would not have lasted very long if he had not done that!   My husband has literally been by my side the whole week and has done everything from laundry, to cooking, to getting me dressed.  He has been a great little slave!  :)  I think that I must be the luckiest girl in the whole world.

I have also had so many friends, family, and neighbors that have called or come to see me and cheer me up and offer their help.  I am truly blessed when it comes to friends, and neighbors…they are the best!

I also want to thank so many of you who left comments, emails and Facebook comments.  I am sorry that I could not respond to any of them, but I want you to know how very much I appreciated your kind comments and prayers and your support.  I was brought to tears many times.  THANK YOU!!

I am learning to slow down…it is hard for me to learn that, but I guess this was a good wake-up call.  I have a couple of projects that I had done before this all happened that I will try to post this week.  I will only be posting a couple of times a week for a while because it is hard to do projects with one hand and especially when that hand is my left hand and I am very right handed!

Sometimes when something happens to you, you start to wonder why…not why did this have to happen…but why am I so very blessed!  

Thanks again for all of your support!  Have a great week everyone!
