Bed was a struggle. It was not easy to find a comfortable position and getting in and out and even changing position was agonizing. But with Ibuprofen I did manage to sleep and woke up this morning in a little less pain. As I texted the kids- I didn’t have to muffle my screams of pain once so...winning.
The fact is that I did truly injure myself and it’s going to take some time to recover. And I am going to have to walk the fine line of being too sedentary and trying to do too much. This probably means no bean picking or chicken coop cleaning or laundry carrying or the throwing about of iron skillets for awhile.
I spent a lot of time today in Mr. Moon’s chair with many pillows and Maurice. The man went to the Hilltop and got us a lunch and that was amazing. Fried shrimp sandwiches and potato salad. It’s been forever since we’ve eaten anything like that. And then I went to bed and slept for two hours.
While I was asleep Rachel dropped off enough food for us to eat for a week. An entire roast chicken with potatoes and carrots, Parmesan and garlic spinach, cheese grits and brownies. And a card. And flowers.
I could have wept with gratitude.
It’s been raining on and off all day. Pressure systems and possible storms appear to be surrounding us from all the seas and oceans and it is that time of year. Do I even need to say that the hurricane lilies will be popping up in a few weeks?
In chicken news, when Mr. moon went out to help Dearie into the baby coop last night she had already flown in herself and this morning she flew out by herself.
She is growing up!
Sniff.
It is still drizzling. I am sure the beans are way overdue for picking and I don’t even feel up to sitting and shelling field peas. I have to remember that’s okay. My job right now is to breathe and rest. It’s hard but a good reminder that the world moves on with or without my active participation.
We will eat some of Rachel’s delicious dinner. I will be grateful.
Love...Ms. Moon
There is so much love in your family! How sweet and thoughtful of Rachel. I wish you all could adopt me.

Oh, Jesus, what a bad fall! I'm so sorry :( You let those kids of yours feed you for a month and don't get tempted to push yourself. Niall cracked ribs once, and they weren't diagnosed by our awful local hospital. A while later he mowed the lawn, on the first pull back of the mower they re-cracked :/
ReplyDeleteHow sweet of Rachel! yes, your only job right now is to rest breathe and heal.
ReplyDeleteWe love Rachel. You go back to bed. Maurice will take good care of you. What a smack you took when you went down.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you've got your priorities straight. Rest, breathe, don't worry about beans. It's all just a hill of beans..
ReplyDeleteTake good care of you, I am so sorry, Kiss it make it better.
ReplyDeleteOh darling-falling down is a bitch. My dog walker/sitter guy called me today to tell me I owe him $$ since march and he never gave me a bill. then he tells me he fell off a 12 foot ladder and broke his neck and back. !!!!!!!! jeezus just stop it people. Now is not the time to get injured. The hospitals are busy enough.
ReplyDeleteYou get well, you hear???? Do I have to come over there and see about you? (wouldn't that be wonderful?)
Love you a lot,
Beth

Sending hugs! Very sweet of Rachel.
ReplyDeleteGlad you have loving family around to help out. Guessing the kids/grands might be able to come by and pick your garden produce, if needed (and take it home with them). Do not overdo things. The temptation may be great in a day or five, but resist and allow things to begin healing...always a slower process as we (sweetly) age.
ReplyDeleteYes, by all means, rest and heal. Thank goodness for Mr. M and Rachel!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your fall- it is always such a shock when it happens. I hope you are able to take it easy- easier said than done!- and will be better soon.
ReplyDeleteYour job right now is to breathe and rest and heal. What loving souls you have attracted to you. Rachel is just wonderful. Time for you to receive all the loving you wrap around everyone else. Sending so much love to you.
ReplyDeleteHow lucky you are to have Rachel to do just the right thing. Take care, rest, heal.
