    Hi all,
    Barb I am so glad you were able to get outside. I bet your plants all looked at you, asking "where the h**L have you been??"

    Well, When I went out there I told my husband that I really haven't seen some of these areas in 5 months..That is a long long time. It is amazing that I hadn't been able to get to certain area even on the tractor plus I stopped doing that for it was really dangerous for me to be on it. The thought of it rolling over on my leg was almost too much for me to bear.

    These 2 broken body parts have been extremely painful for the whole 6 months. Just this week I have some relief. Still in therapy though till after the new year.

    Do you like your PT? Is she/he helpful? A good sort?

    Oh yes I think it's not the PT but your attitude and how willing you are to work at home. My problem was that I had an infection that may have been mrsa. No one would test or acknowledge that is was infected until it got really really bad. I was in hard meds for 21 days...I think it is well now and much of the pain is gone now also...

    I really think the reason they don't want to know about mrsa is that it may go against their record...now for sure but that is what it looked like to me.

    So to answer your question is that I have a love hate relationship with going to therapy. I love to go but hate to do it...LOL but I do as much as I can..

    Well Island, the positive thing about it is that the snow makes the flamingo stand out well.;)

    I picked 25 grocery bags with 12 citrus in them. Now we are organizing them into streets and small bunches and who gets what the 12 satsumas are the base bag. Close friends get more maybe a loaf of nanner nut bread or a pint jar of figs or pickles or such its our Christmas gift to the neighbor hood

    Cajuncappy, that is such a wonderful gift to neighbors! Your tasty home-grown fruit can't be bought--it has to come from a great gardener with a generous heart:smt007.

    That is a sad thing to do...I thought the greenhouse that was next to your house was heated all winter...
