I was wondering the same thing. I hope she's alright?

I saw her on Brug forum Apr 6.

She posted here last on May 8th. I miss our Roselee and Alfie!

I do as well, Pam, and have not heard from her. I am praying all is well with her and hers.

Just spoke with Ragna, and she is coming home from rehab tomorrow and will be posting again as soon as she is up to it. She has a broken leg, but I will let her tell her story when she returns. She is anxious to get back to gardening and Alfie and Sport as you can well imagine.

Aww. :(

Wishing her a speedy recovery!

Wish her well.

Thanks for letting us know Carrie! Poor Ragna! Hopefully she can post from her bed or recliner.

thanks for checking into her whereabouts

I hope she has a speedy recovery and thanks for Carrie for letting everyone know.

At first, Ragna did not want to announce what had happened, but now that she has a better grasp of things, she doesn't mind that everyone knows. It was not one of her dogs, but a neighbor dog that bowled her over breaking her femur in three places vertically. Once she gets settled in, I'm sure she will tell the rest of the story. Your prayers and good thoughts would surely be welcome. She has been in great spirits since the beginning of the adventure....you'd never know by talking to her that anything was wrong.

Thanks Patty! I hope she isn't in a lot of pain. I bet she's looking forward to being home and seeing her furbabies.

Sending healing thoughts to our dear Ragna.

Get well soon, Roselee!

I here that electrodes will shorten recovery time and encourage bone growth. Hell , if I know if it is true. I am wish you the best.

Prayers.

Well , great to hear from you. So I need to break a leg to clean my nails . I never heard that one before.

Now that is a very extreme way to get your nails clean...LOL! Mine are so bad it would probably take breaking both legs and I sure don't want that. So glad you are home and doing well. Your being in such good physical condition when this happened is something we all need to remember to work on as we age.

She is alive, yay!!

I am so glad to hear that you are back home and recuperating. You mentioned keeping the cell phone firmly attached to your body, I hope you weren't down without your phone somewhere in the yard!

There are some very tasty frozen dinners out there. Healthy Choice has some delicious offerings that don't really taste like low cal.

Roselee, so happy to see you.

I can really feel for your discomfort and inconvenience, Roselee. I fell Nov. in my dining room (rubber soles grabbed the hardwood and tripped me up.) Landed on both knees real hard. Cracked both femur tops at the knee, one real badly. But no surgery required as bones lined up normally, provided I put no weight on them at all for nearly 2 months. No gardening, no nothing pretty much. I liked the no cooking and laundry part a lot. LOL Take it easy, do just what the docs/nurses said and you'll be out weeding and planting before you know it.

The ‘stupid’ accidents are the worst!

DH, wearing socks, slipped on stairs and rolled from top to bottom. By the grace of God he didn’t break his neck.

I mistepped on a rug, hurrying to get my phone, skidded and my head crashed into a wall. It took a min. Or so to realized what had even happened.

Roselee I never knew what PT could do but they’re miracle workers. These days when somebody tells me they’re a PT, I’m in awe as if they told me they were nuclear physicists, ha

I agree, Bossy. I do my home PT religiously when instructed to by my docs. And the pro sessions I've been helped by for broken wrists and torn rotator cuffs did WONDERS!

Yep, it's the 'stupid' little accidents we feel the worst about. As I've gotten older I will my self to go slower and look at my feet when stepping over rocks, etc, that border the flower beds.

Buttoni, yes it's most inconvenient as well as very uncomfortable to be injured or ill, but it's inspiring to hear you've made a good recovery. I also do my PT exercises religiously to keep up the strength I worked so hard to maintain while in Reeves Rehab.

Pam, my phone was knocked out of my pocket as well as out of my sight by the impact of the neighbor's escape artist dog running full speed ahead into the back of my thigh while apparently not watching where she was going. The neighbor had been trying to fix his fence, but once dogs find they can escape they keep trying until they find another spot.

When the event occurred I was out in one of the meadows near our house, two or three hundred feet from my next door neighbor James' house, and many more hundreds of feet away from other houses. It was mid afternoon and most people including Bob had the windows closed with the AC on. It was 20 to 30 minutes before a neighbor on the next street over heard me yelling 'Help' while waving my hat in the air and came over to investigate. Bob is used to me being outside for hours at a time so hadn't looked for me.

I called Bob on the neighbor's phone and EMS arrived within 10 minutes. I know it sounds like our worst night mare, but actually I was not in panic. I was peaceful and calm knowing someone would hear me eventually. I was just thankful I hadn't landed in an ant bed when my back hit the soft grassy ground! If I had been on the concrete sidewalk I probably would not be here to tell the story.

Long story to tell you why I said to keep your cell phones securely attached to your body. Young or old, anybody can take a fall while gardening, or while in the house for that matter.

Oh my! I am so glad that your neighbor heard you and came to the rescue! I'm really glad for you that you neither landed in a fire ant bed nor on a concrete surface. I bet you were hot out there in the sun. In moments like this, we can really feel our own mortality.

Oh, goodness, that sounds awful. :( But so glad you’re on the mend. I’ll bet Alfie is keeping his mama good company. :)

My most recent accident — when it was moving time, I, of course, was more worried about not forgetting yard decor. I had my Mema’s old rooster weather vane on a 4 ft metal pole in the middle of a very crowded bed. Instead of just stepping into the bed, like any sane person would do, I tried to pull it out from the driveway side, leaning very far over. It wouldn’t come out. I started jerking it back and forth ... the darn pole snapped in half. I wasn’t prepared for that, and was thrust forward hard, over a row of shrubs. I actually somehow did a flip and landed on my face and shoulder in the yard on the other side, with the rooster part on top of me. Luckily, I didn't fall on the stone border, nothing was broken ... and luckier, no one saw me do it. :D Nothing near what you went through, I was just very sore and bruised that week. It probably would’ve been comical to watch. Unlike your case, it was totally my own fault!

Welcome back, roselee. You were sorely missed. As soon as you recover, you owe us a lot of pics :)

Roselee- if you or Bob need any help with yard or plant work, just let me know & I’ll be glad to help!

Ragweed, thank you. Speaking of photos Bob wheeled me out to the back forty last evening. It was a bumpy ride and I was holding on with white knuckles ... LOL. He threatened to take pictures of me watering from the wheel chair, but I threatened his life if he tried ... ;-)

Matt, thanks for your kind offer. At least it's not weed season and all we have to do is try to keep things watered. Bob's idea of watering is to set the sprinkler on full blast while I hope for the best. Not the most efficient way to water, but will work in the short haul.

Miz_G, wow -- not funny, but it made me laugh. I bet nobody could repeat that bit if acrobatic performance if they tried ... LOL! Not that they'd want to!

All is well.

oh, c'mon, Ragna! There are pictures of me in the wheelchair watering when my dog broke my leg! Join the club !!

I didn't see them.

Well, it is show and tell time, Patty.

cuz they're pictures. I don't carry around the album. ;-)

Another member of our Texas Garden Web who has been 'under the weather' so to speak, for over a year is MsRed Byrd, Irene. She has posted many beautiful photos of her and hubby Doug's yard, has attended the swaps and my open gardens, and has been a lively responder to our posts.

If you wish, you can wish her well from her Houze Page linked above.

I know she will appreciate that, Ragna.......................she is such a lovely lady.
