Oh NO! I'm soooooo sorry, Amber.
Please vent and update....as best you can with one arm
Or use voice to text?

Falls are the bane of we older folk. I've been a basketball
the last few years.

DAMN. Really crappy luck. I hope it was a clean break and will start knitting right now.

(Gentle) hugs and much comfort,
Hops

There's a couple tricks for that hypotension Hops. I hope the doc already told you!!

All 5 of my kitties are having some kind of itchy skin irritation (don't think it's fleas; don't see the usual signs & B is susceptible to being bait for them; like me & skeeters). They're going to need baths to start with - one a day, I think - I don't know as I can manage these heavy & fiesty beasts and see if that helps. I might need welding gloves for a couple of 'em. And I have their old flea & tick med on the way. I tried something different this year; has permethrin in it - and I swear all it did was attract the bugs!

I've got to go pick peppers today, too. The cayenne are ripe, then dry & crush them. B loves hot stuff.

Hi CB!

Yep, Hops & Hippy & I do have emails for backup. Lighter disappeared some months ago but maybe she'll see this & check her messages. I'll leave her my email there.

So how've you been? What's new?

Hopefully, AI will get bored with us old ladies nattering on about whatever is on our minds! Could you imagine if it learns our personalities and impersonates us????  EEK!

WOW!

Thanks to y'all's presence and persistence, and majorly Doc G's...at least today, it seems

THE BOARD IS BACK![/glow][/color]

I'm too busy doing a happy dance to articulate much of anything, but I had to change my browser which was suddenly "unsupported' -- same trick Apple used to make me....oh never mind. And maybe because I reverted to Chrome, old stuff came up again, and maybe in some weird inside-clockworks way that meant it'd all work again....

Couldn't be happier to be here! Catching up might take a while, but my update is: I'm happy, healing from a broken rib after falling out of the shower (halfway done) -- which Dr Google and I finally figured out is severe orthostatic hypotension (I asked doctors for AGES with no clear explanation), enjoying C the BF with reservations but no suspicions, it's just wiring/personality stuff, cuddling with Pup, seeing a few friends now and then, and that feels like a full plate. Still volunteering with our Village and loving the fascinating, really-old folks. Bit financially antsy due to home repairs and a couple needed improvements. My dysfunctional dishwasher turned out to be plumbed wrong but it was only $420 (!!) to have the connections reset properly. AAAAGGghhh. This was after $100 for the appliance repairman. These weighty issues take up a good bit of my brain-battery drain. ALL IS WELL.

Biiiiiig hugs to all,
Hops

- I've started to read slowly bits of anarchist literature.
- I've started to read slowly bits of radical feminist lit.

I'm just a slooow reader.

Also, I'm probably not going to church tomorrow unless I just want to be an obstinate pain and look at stained glass windows for no reason. I still like the concept of sanctuary.
