An Unexpected Trip


I have missed my blogging friends and dear readers this week, but an unexpected trip to the hospital has kept me out of commission! I had an almost fatal reaction to some back pain meds. Luckily, a three day stay in our local hospital kept me out of danger. I returned home yesterday weak, but in good spirits! Thanks to all my friends and family for your prayers!

Look for "On The Menu"  Sunday evening. Until then, I am taking it easy and getting my strength back.

I wish everyone a very happy Memorial Day.

I am so grateful for our brave heros who serve our great country and for the one's who have given the ultimate sacrifice so we can all be free. God bless you and your families! You are our true national treasures!

    I was wondering why you were MIA. I thought maybe you got wrapped up in getting SG ready for the holiday. So sorry to hear you were doing so bad. Glad to hear that you are feeling and doing a bit better. Take it easy and get your rest!

    Wow! That must have been some scare. I'm so glad that you are OK. Do take it easy. Blogging will be here. Actually with all of the Blogger issues this week, it was a good week to miss.

    I was definitely missing your posts, but certainly am sorry to hear the reason. Wowzers, Yvonne! Thank goodness someone knew exactly what to do and I am so happy you are recovering. I know you gave your family a huge scare.
    Don't worry about blogging. Just get well. We should all pray for you and all of our military and their families. Sending many good good vibrations and much love, my friend.

    Good Grief, Yvonne!! That had to be very scary, Hon! I am SO glad you're okay now. Whew!

    I thought that perhaps you were one of the thousands of us who couldn't sign into our blogs this week. Blogger is STILL having issues, esp. with those who use FireFox brousers. I haven't been able to comment or post or access my blog for over a week!

    Gentle {{{HUGS}}} to you, Sweet Lady. Take it easy & make sure you're fully recovered. Will be keeping you close in thoughts & prayers.

    fondly,

    Yvonne, I've missed your posts the last few days & had actually started to get a little concerned.....was hoping you were just busy! Isn't it funny how we can get concerned about blogger friends several miles away that we've never even met? I'm so glad you're doing better. I'll continue to pray for a quick & complete recovery for you! God bless. Shae

    Yikes! Meds are not something to take lightly. My hubby developed an ulcer when taking pain meds after surgery a few years ago. Now he has to be real careful what he takes. So glad to hear you are doing better. Take care of yourself and take however much time you need to recover. In another words, milk it for all it's worth. ;-) Sending up prayers for you!
