Hi folks, so sorry for being absent these past couple of weeks. Had quite a nasty fall and went to one doctor who didn't check me out properly6 and said I hd just torn a ligament in my right neck, then I got a huge bruise on the left side of my neck and one about 3 inches wide and six inches long on my rigt chest on down. Then I had a huge swelling come out on the left side and went to another doctor. He ordred a scan and apparently I have thrombosis (blood puddle) on both sides of my neck. So have been feeling a bit sore and sorry and going to bed early.
Take care and thanks to all who have prayed for me.
Sorry to hear about your trials aussie....take care. We've missed your inspirations.

Aussie, I knew there was a reason your name kept floating to the top of my prayer list! I was worried when you mentioned a lump on your neck. There are so many important and sensitive things in that area! I'm so glad you are back with us, and pray you heal quickly! ((Hugs))

Aussie, it is very good to hear from you. I know that I do not know you very well, except from on here but I worry about you when I do not see you have been on. I have been praying for you. I do not know quite how to explain it, so bear with me here, but just from reading your comments and reading how others and I interact with you I feel you are a very special person, so I always have a special prayer for you to be safe & well. Get well soon. :)

You are all such a great bunch of people and am honoured to call you my friends. The latest is that I am to have a brain scan on Tuesday to allay fears of a tumour. My father died that way and the things that were happening reminded me very much of that. I should be able to get the results on Wednesday. Then on 3 Jan I am to have the same scan on my neck to see if the blood pooling (thrombosis) has dissipated. Have to be extremely careful and always hang on to my walking stick, as a wrong move results in dizziness and I believe now that is the reason I fell nearly three weeks ago. Am changing doctors as my doctor of 16 years is now 89 and has begun to misdiagnose - he needs to retire but refuses to do so. So thank you all so much for your prayers and friendship. God bless all of you. Your Aussie friend.
We had ANOTHER accident on Tuesday...In the last year our family has had four accidents, three totaled cars, two side swipes, and a partridge in pear tree! (and I don't even drive! ) NOW...the one totaled car that we were still driving (it just had a few scrapes but it ran great) has been totaled AGAIN, this time for good. Our insurance company has politely asked us to find another company. Oh bother...

There is only me and I don't drive much anymore--just around the area to do errands. My car is a 2012 and I am just about to hit 19, 000 miles. The way some people drive now, I don't care to be on the road with them. Our I-4 is the worst and there is always construction going on and detours on it. I NEVER drive that road. I use the smaller roads when I can. Good luck on insurance. I'm getting about $60 back from AAA now and will do some more on it when it is due in July.
My grandmother used to make stollen for the holidays...and cruellers and she'd pit dates and put an almond inside then roll them in powdered sugar. I also remember these really pretty licorice candies. Didn't like them one bit but they sure were pretty colors--tiny stacks of squares alternating lime green and black and rose pink. My husband has trouble controlling his weight so I'm not llowed to bake. We buy a few canolis on holidays and that way once we've had a serving there's nothing left to tempt him.
