Getting on with my ouwie

I woke up this morning at 5:00 am. Yes I am a morning person. I love it. I thought I'll take my crutches and hobble over to the kitchen to make coffee. "How hard can that be!"
Wait a minute, how am I getting the coffee to the sun room where my favorite spot with the laptop is? What a bummer. In the meantime because of all my groaning while maneuvering the crutches, Ted had woken up so I asked him could he please make me some coffee? "Of course sweetheart." He said. That just makes me realize how would a person do it if you live alone? Holie molie! No wonder God said in the beginning: "Man (woman) should not be alone." He got THAT right!

So here I am for an other day of resting. I am absolutely unable to stand on my right foot.
I also am beginning to notice a lot of other sore places on my body. I really tumbled down like Humpty dumpty and made a great fall.

Well at least I have something to blog about.

I also miss the kids very much and I understand Yvonne has a hard time being back "home" in Ottawa. We had such a wonderful time being together and me looking after the girls. They are such a delight to have around. It was stressful for Ted, I could tell the Parkinson would flare up, that is the shaking. Aila walked over to him and held his hand while saying: "Is that better Opa?" Did you know that a touch or an embrace is very important and helpful with Parkinson's?

This is all for today.

I am really glad that it is not broken Trudy. A little time to 'rest' perhaps. Bless you both.
