Tis the season to be jolly, and while I'm not exactly jolly, I'm grateful that the surgery is over and that the healing is underway. Thank you for all your good wishes; I've been home since Friday but haven't been feeling the best. But painkillers are a wonderful thing, as is ice cream birthday cakes. It just all takes time.
My greatest gift this Christmas to have my family with me over these few days, and hope for a healthy 2009.
So to all of you from my garden, much love and best wishes for a Happy Christmas, a Joyeux Noel, a Happy Chanukah, or whatever else you might be celebrating.
And a little Christmas music to send us out from my favourite musician....
Happy to hear you are recovering all be it slowly. I too am a fan of David Cook. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Fabulous New Year
ReplyDeleteHi Jodi, hope the recovery goes well. Have a happy holiday season with your family.

It's so good to hear that you are finally home and slowly recovering. You must have been through quite an ordeal - that's a long time to be in the hospital (they usually seem to kick everyone out as quickly as they can, don't they?). I hope those painkillers are doing the job and that you're able to be comfortable!

Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're on the mend. May your biggest blues be a poinsettia

Weather has been crazier than I lately. Sub-zero one day and 40s the next. We too had rain yesterday that cleared the roads and made our drive to see the grandkids on Xmas Eve one where my wife didn't have to leave footprints in the dashboard.
We almost had Turkey for all the kat kids. We just missed 4 that were on the road and didn't know which way to flee as we came upon them.
Bless you, Jodi! A happy birthday, a merry Christmas, a prosperous new year, and a rapid recovery to you!!!
ReplyDeletejodi, I'm so glad to see you are feeling well enough to post to your blog. I hope that things just continue to improve for you until you're better than your old self.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and lots of warm hugs, my friend.
Christmas cheer to you, Jodi. I hope each day will find you with less and less pain as you recover.
ReplyDeleteMany blessings in the New Year to you and your family.
The warmest holiday wishes to you too, Jodi! I know it has to be hard to feel all Christmas-y while being on the mend. Time WILL pass and the healing WILL happen.
ReplyDeleteHugs (gentle ones),
Cindy
Sending healing prayers. Hope your Christmas was a good one with your family.

ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Jodi! Thanks for the peek into David Cook's emerging career. Definitely a cutie!
