Black and Blue Tuesday

April 21, 2009
That's our Barbara.... OW!
The good news is that she's getting better every day...

   Hi! joysann here. Barbara's been having a bit of a time of it lately, so she's asked me to pop in a little note here to let you all know that she's still alive and kicking. After a couple week hospital stay to get her meds regulated, she's still somewhat discombobulated. She was wobbly enough that in her first hour or so out of the hospital, she slipped, fell, and kissed the ground. Despite appearances, she is getting better. Between medications and her bruises, her vision is not so hot, and she likes to sleep a bit more than usual. But please let me assure you, her conversations haven't slowed any, nor has her enthusiasm flagged.

But, wait, that's not all... Yesterday not only did her cell phone die, but her computer went kaput. Until that gets repaired, (hopefully today), she and I will be making interstate efforts to get her blogs posted. There will be Book Blurbs on Wednesday, and hopefully Barbara will be back to her old tricks by the end of the week. 

Barbara is very grateful for the show of concern at her absence. She apologizes for being unable to respond to e-mails and messages at this time, but will work on replying as she (and her computer) recovers, and asks for patience. She send her thanks.

Bottom Line:  For once, after conversing with Barbara, I get to have the last word ...

Well, Barbara, this is a good day to break out the Tiara from last month! A book, a Tiara and a bubble bath will do wonders for your bruises.
