I'm young Jo...47 years of age!! It's hard asking for help. My goal: To be able to use a shovel again and garden. I'm getting there and I'm five months post-surgery. Oh how I wish I could come to your garden and help you out this Spring. If I weren't so far away (as I miss my native TN!), I would be there weeding, pruning and mulching! Hang in there...and take the needed to heal! We are praying for your recovery and speedy return home!

Of course, I was sent to the nursing home, not the rehab center. All the difference in the world. And yes we fiercely independent, do it ourselves women need to learn to take help from others. How long will you be there? Make new friends, let other's help you. Get well, mend and heal. We are here to help you through this, too.annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668006270534204954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239437409050334506.post-63082940889886025072016-02-22T19:13:55.891-06:002016-02-22T19:13:55.891-06:00Yes, I am just checking up on my fav blogs so just...Yes, I am just checking up on my fav blogs so just heard this today.

Yes, one of the hardest parts about sickness or injury that people often don;t think of is just how much it can isolate you. Glad you have a lifelong friend there to help and how lucky she is even from the same country. I don't have any English friends here. Hope you feel better soon.
