The Sunday Whirl

“All that heavy strumming in the minor key will scrape those strings to death! Why not dust off that magic remote and look at some old soap operas? Remember the ones with the misty backgrounds, slippery villains, and burned out candles? Then you can have a fresh approach to song writing again, maybe in a higher scale?”

My silly attempt to write a weird story as fast as I could-shake it up. My excuse? Pain killers😂

One Liner Wednesday

December 19, 2024 by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

“Don’t touch my leg!” is my one liner and definitely no joke. Transferring from wheelchair to car on our way to an echocardiogram to test why my limbs were so weak and other symptoms, my brain temporarily forgot why I was going to the doc and tried to put my weight on a weak limb, my right leg. It collapsed and bent. Hearing a horrid crunch as my femur broke, and I’m lying on cement.

I spent a week in hospital and today is my third day in a rehab facility, there’s no merry Christmas for me. If you ever took a slab of wood and broke it over your knee you see the edges separated and hear the crunch😱I’ll never forget it😫 Yeah, like that…

🎄Have a wonderful holiday!🎄

One-Liner Wednesday – Such a great idea!

autumn

colorful displays

windswept leaves dancing in circles

tangolike

moving with stealth only revealed

when tree limbs join the rhythm

tense waltz

I would use food like I was having fun and say I just ate an orange, fresh and juicy and perfect but as-my overall opinion hospital food sucks. It’s worse when you decide you don’t want to feel like any food and they send it up anyway – who orders it I don’t know.

To make the whole story lovely – on Friday the sixth I got up early for an appointment at the hospital for an echocardiogram. My legs and arms are feeling weak and I have other symptoms like shortness of breath etc. so we decided we would try an echo to see what was what. Unfortunately as I was getting into the car, my left leg and half hip were in the car on the seat. My leggings are slippery and they started to make me slide off and it took my hip and everything with it and my right leg is still too weak to hold me lately so it started slipping underneath the car, hit car door and when it hit it, my leg actually crunched. I could hear the break the crunch, and it’s separated my knee above the knee and up towards my upper thigh. I was laying there with one hand on the car door and one hand on the seat and I was stuck so when the EMTs came they didn’t know how they should pick me up and finally it was just decided one fell swoop so we did they were really nice and knowledgeable and careful.

So now it is the 15th. I am still in the hospital and will probably be moved to a caring facility tomorrow for rehab. I am not looking forward to this at all. Any slight movement on my leg is not pleasant. But I think it’s what we have to deal with for a while so I am. I imagine this stream of conscious is not very uplifting, maybe I’ll read yours and get lifted up. I can’t get the sound of the crunch out of my head and if you’ve ever seen a slab of wood being just split over somebody’s knee that’s what it sounds like and that’s what it looks like so it was operated on the two bones shifted back together and I don’t know if there’s a screw in there or not so much that it probably is I have no idea.

My apartment is mostly decorated for Christmas. I probably won’t be doing any more shopping. I’ll have to do it online.. And I apologize right off for not answering or reading a lot of blogs because I am so tired I am and I can’t figure out why yet and to even speak into the phone is hard and tiring so I won’t be writing much and I won’t be talking to you much but believe me I’m thinking of you and hoping everyone has nice holidays coming up❤️💚☺️👍🏻

Gallops on green

Their manes flying free in the wind

Gallops on green

Hooves digging deep in the prairie

No saddles, bridles, bits, reins bind

Feelings of freedom felt in kind

Gallops on green

** This is probably a stupid question but I don’t understand the one small a in the rhyme scheme. Is it supposed to rhyme with anything? Is it supposed to be completely different? I have tried to find the answer to this question, and I finally gave up. I don’t understand the small a.
