He Left, Now What...

Ever since I fell in June 2025 and broke my knee, I haven’t painted anything. I miss painting and being creative so much. When I paint, I usually stand at a raised table so I can move around freely. Once I finish a piece, I carry it over to the drying rack, on the opposite side of the room, before starting the next one. Painting has always been an active process for me, so I really need to be on…

I can’t believe that it’s been one year since my fall. I could not imagine how difficult this would be. My last post update was 2 months ago. Since then, I have started Aqua therapy and have been there 4 times so far. It feels really good in the pool. I almost cried when I was walking in the water WITHOUT a walker. Getting in the pool, with the stairs, is difficult, but I do it, with a little…

It’s been 10 months since I broke my knee. And as mentioned in my last post, I also fractured my tibia in October and my femur in December. After the new year, my knee doctor ordered a bone density scan. He also ordered blood work. Additionally, I needed to see someone at the bone clinic. And finally, he said I should go back to physical therapy again. I had a bone scan in 2024. The comparison…

Well, this was quite a year, with some ups and lots of downs. January     This year started out with some very sad news. I lost a friend and coworker, that I have known for 25 years. Bill was a really great guy. Always so positive and upbeat, with a smile on his face every day. Such a loss. He will be so missed. But now he is with the love of his life again.  I miss you Bill and Pam every…

I’m almost 60 years old and I have never broken a bone before. Well, I am sure that I have broken a toe, but there is nothing you can do for that. I guess I was due. Writing helped me get through my last traumatic experience, when my ex left me, back in 2014. So I thought writing would help me again. I was working at a bridal show, for my full time job, and during the set up of our booth, I…
