Joe wanted to be a cowboy
He moved to a ranch in the west
He bought some boots
And some cheroots
But blew it with a colorful vest.

“ I loathe yoga classes where she keeps that fiend of a parrot! He repeats, “Deep breaths”, and the bell chimes!”
Can You Tell A Story In…

Eerie lighting flickering in the hall. Midnight visits from CNAs all. Blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen level. I think hospitals were designed by a devil. Then a TB test not like I’m used to. A fine needle slipped under the skin, it stings. Wheelchair placed away from my reach. What lesson does this action teach? Bathroom visits were observed. I don’t think I did anything so bad this is what I deserve. I could understand some if this was from a nursing manual, but I think at night they all turn. supernatural,

Simply 6 Minutes – Welcome to the Challenge: 01/14/2025

Sue always wanted a fur coat
Taste simple it had to be mink
Her husband refused to spend
Not real fur – but a nylon blend
Gave the gift with a secret wink.

Basketball a worthy endeavor
Being short bothers never
Reaching for the highest goals
Defying what you’ve been told
Up as if being lifted
Proves you are gifted
With hard work and much practice
You find you are not lacking
In what it takes!

Quadrille #215: Ready for Liftoff
I’m home finally – that month in hospital and rehab was unpleasant to say the least – apparently the rehab was the best in town and that’s not saying much. The pain in my right leg caused me to shift my leg a lot at night in hospital and apparently this caused a bruise on the bottom of my heel. So now I am confined to the wheelchair or recliner or a bed because I’m not supposed to stand on my two legs until the heel heals. So no one saw this condition, and it just deteriorated.
I am almost able to get to my right foot to wash it and put on lotion. My right leg has permanent hardware in it now and a lot of screws holding it in place on one side of my thigh. There’s a large incision there where they put all the hardware inside and around my knee and up the thigh on the right side. Thank heavens my left leg that I broke in March has healed up enough so that I can rely on it when standing. I have Wound Care and OT and PT coming to my home.
I am getting around by myself fine, but I’ve had no desire to write and it’s obvious when you read the sixth sentence story that I am off my game. I hope to recover that because it’s my favorite activity and especially I want to say thank you to all of you who stuck with me and sent good wishes. I really appreciate them. One of the medicines I am on makes my vision very poor, so I’m not reading as much as I used to.
I have to look on the bright side. At least I only have two legs so I can’t break another one. My whole life I haven’t broken anything significant, and after living that way, breaking two legs in one year is ridiculous.
Thanks to all, Cheryl.

PROMPT WORD: POOL
***
Sam was a diver and very well known
Off cliffs or a pond he felt at home
He never should have taken the bet
To dive in that backyard pool
For that wager he was a fool
Water shallow—his demise was shown.
