~ Happy Halloween ~

I pulled up to my sisters tonight to see the kids before they went out trick or treating. You know I had to try and get pictures. One handed or not I had to have some shots of them all dressed up. Anyway, this was the view from her backyard. Gorgeous! Vibrant colors that I didn't even come close to capturing. As I snapped the shot I could think nothing but of how this must be a sign for better days to come. A year ago today is when I started feeling ill. Within days I had triple by-pass and there was the start of my issues.

I'm doing great, trust me. Before my fall I was up and at 'em. Today I'm in good shape and starting to get the use of my left arm back. The Dr. took off the brace on Wednesday with strict instructions to lift nothing more then a pencil. I'm behaving, trust me. Today with the cold and damp air it ached like a toothache, but I know I'm definitely getting better.

So, this rainbow.. my sign.....

AAAhhhh Gage... our little Jason :) He's attacking grandma's decorations....

Jason again... loved the shadows behind him..

Uncle Jeff... LOL notice Jason behind him?

One more for good measure...

Can you guess? A little Diva.... LMAO

Just too freaking cute if you ask me... wish it was clearer.. one handed sucks!

Another... good measure.. ya know?

So all in all the day was good... I'm good. I'm not around like I use to be... I'm trying. I'm absolutely beat by the time I get home from work. I do hope everyone is good and had a wonderful Halloween...

::waving::  I'm thrilled the photo challenge has started back up.  I'm only saddened that I have not been able to get pictures.  I've cheated a bit, this is from last year.  You may or may not know, but I fell back in Sept.  I broke my nose and cut it wide open.  I broke ribs, and I broke my humurous bone.  Trust me nothing humurous about it.  I'm ok and healing each day but my arm is still in the brace and I can't lift my left arm, so I can't hold my camera.  Damn it!  I didn't want to miss out on this challenge so I went into my archives.

This beauty is from Letchworth State Park.  Now get your picture and join in!  :)

~ Relaxing Sunday ~

:::waving::: Yeah I made it back before to much time passed....  :)  Hope everyone is doing good.  I'm hanging in there.  My arm is still in the brace and it is pretty sore.  I've been told by the doc I will need the brace at least 6 weeks.  Thank God my sister lives with me.  Since I can't lift my arm I need her to help me get dressed.  She also takes care of the contraption of a brace.  It comes off for showers and to change the dressing/cloth underneath.  I'd never be able to do it on my own.  The surgery on my nose went fine.  I had all the packing removed a week after the surgery and it was a 100% improvement.  I can breath... I can smell.   Whuuu huuuu

I did go back to work this week as well.  It took a lot out of me, but they've been wonderful and very supportive.  I'm glad this job came along and I'm extremely glad I accepted.  With all the bad things that have happened this is really really good!

The weekend was spent pretty much relaxing... I needed it and to be honest deserved it after a 'hard' week.  I want to thank everyone for all the good wishes, prayers and support.  Thank you!

Hugs
