The Christmas Season is a time for kindness, caring, and thinking of others. It is also a good time to celebrate by showing ourselves a few hours of caring kindness when, or if, possible. Last night, it was possible for me. 💐 (It is always possible for me nowadays. That was not always the case in years gone by. 😏)
Today, I was ready to jump back into the holiday spirit and holiday preparations when I got ‘the call‘. Next Tuesday I am off to the hospital for my hernia repair. The unexpected and ultimate in self-care for the holiday season! Fortunately, I have more ‘want’ to do than ‘have’ to do on my holiday list. And – I am totally grateful that Dr. Pooler and staff are getting me in so quickly when Covid has taken such a toll on our health facilities and staff. It will be great to recover and be hernia free. 😁
That is it for today folks. Take care and have a kind and caring day!💞
Seclusion 101 with AnneMarie

That’s great news Anne Marie, and I appreciate not having surgery scheduled too far in advance, giving me less time to stew about it. Love 💕 the new bag! As soon as you memorize which little compartment you put each doodad in, you’re gonna love it…

Best wishes for your surgery, Annmarie! I like your new purse, nice colors. I use O’Keef’s on my feet as they get super dry like my hands here in the desert, maybe that will help your hands.

May it go well. Here many operations are being delayed again as hospitals begin to fill up. A friend on the west coast is going to have to wait until at least nine months for a much needed knee replacement. I am glad that you are not going to have to suffer on Christmas.

Thank you, Elizabeth. I can’t believe how quick I got in. A month ago our hospitals were packed with Covid patients.

This is true. We have a few cases of the new variant here so I assume that will pick up.
