Florence--good to hear from you. I'm so glad this is a fixable problem and that you can get around better in the meantime. We all will look forward to chatting more with you again.

So sorry to hear this....

I guess if there is a silver lining to having a stress fracture might be that...its winter.

Rest and heal. You and your daughter are in my prayers.

Hugs,

Ronda

Hang in there Florence! Rest and heal and take this time off your feet to do some of the things you love to do when you're not up and about (how about some of your wonderful painting?). We are all cheering for you and your daughter - you are a wonderful model for your daughter in strength and faith.

I know you will overcome all this, Florence. Bless you and
your family and hope you heal soon.

Sincerely,

Devon

The sweet people need to be tough Florence. Deb is the sweetest person I have met. She is also one of the toughest :) Get better soon!

You get to be off your feet.
Take care and Take it easy.

Here's to you to brighten up your evening.

Florence -- I am so sorry. Troubles never seem to come singly, do they?

Dear Florence, may this new year bring you and your daughter new dreams and beginnings. What a painful time this must be. Hugs

I'm glad to here from you Florence. You have such an important place here. We all miss you. At least now you know what is wrong with your hip and have a prognosis. You will be up and about by spring though I know it will take sometime for you to be 100%. And the same for your daughter, it will take time. In my opinion her husband didn't leave soon enough. I'm hoping that with your help she may find the same comfort and inspiration in growing things that I have found in difficult times. I believe that as important as a love is he does not complete your life. You find that completeness in yourself and then share it with someone who is worthy. My very best wishes to you and all your family.

Dear Florence, I am so glad that I wandered over to this forum today and saw your message. At least they found the problem and now you can start to heal. I agree with Pam, he didn't leave soon enough. He didn't have the decency to face his problems and snuck out like a thief in the night. Not admirable and not the type of man she deserves or could ever trust again. Take care of yourself, dear lady. Prayers for a quick recovery for your hip and for peace and strength for your daughter.

Florence, I'm sorry you're hurting so bad. I'm glad they've figured out what it is and you'll be better soon. I'm really sorry too about your daughter, it's crushing when things happen to your adult children and you still find you can't 'fix' everything for them. But, oh how you wish you could spare them the pain.
You'll be in my thoughts and prayers, you're a very special person. I hold the image of you always with that quilt you made and your grandson with it around his shoulders.
