Hi lovely people ...

for the ones who have been following me, today is the big moving day ... goodness ... just 9 months here and so much stuff accumulated ... 

looking back, this little house represents pain ... little house of pain, so to speak - right hip getting worse and worse, then THR surgery March 16, 2015, and left hip rapidly declining ... 

No help, unfortunately, so it was a Herculean task - 

but ..... I am moving on - 2 friends will come with their van and help me to ship out of here and move me in to my new place ...

I don't know what I would have done without you all ... lot of hours by myself but in loving company ....never felt lonely because of you ....

Okay,  still some stuff to do before they come ...

warm hug and thank you 

renee

    good morning dear friends ...

    thank you so much for your kind words and support - 

    well, it is done !!! my 2 lovely friends came and packed up my stuff, put it in the van, and then unloaded - all boxes are herecry and waiting to be unpacked ... but hey, I am here and will take my time - 

    it is a lovely little bungalow - a wee bit bigger perhaps than my previous one - better floor plan - and surrounded by trees - no cars allowed except Mondays and Fridays, so that will be interesting for me to get to my car ... it will be part of my exercise - 

    And, this a biggie for me, I have a normal bed - instead of the narrow boxed-in bed, 2 single beds are pushed together, a mattras topper on top of it and it is heaven - my girlfriend made my bed ... and it is in a seperate bedroom too .... 

    As for the pain .... good Lord - I thought I was going to faint at some point - once I sat down, I could barely get up again - my unoperated hip was the worst, but also the operated one protested ... 

    I will take it easy today, no choice really - 

    Different and good energy from trees here -

    Thanks again for your love and support 

    warm hugs to all of you

      Welcome to your new home. Such benefits all ready . A double bed is great. You can have all your books etc beside you. And trees. Find your favourite and sit with your back to it for healing. There is a lovely poem called " let me grow lovely growing old" with a line in it that says ™ old trees have healing'" I loved that poem as a teenager never thinking it would relate to me one day. Plenty if pain meds for you today. And one wee bit of unpacking at a time.

      Another hurdle over.

      Blessings

      Welcome to your new home. I posted already but it was moderated I don't know why. Maybe because I put in a line from a poem!! Well such benefits already -- a double bed. Great to be able to have books etc at your side. And trees. Find your healing one.

      Painkillers for you today Renee and one wee bit of unpacking at a time.

      Blessings.

      I will - Also have grass around so I can ground myself, connect with mother Earth --- 

      Yes, I will go slowly today - the operated hip joint is a bit throbbing - can feel the hardware in thigh and hip .... 

      it is a gorgeous day, finally ---

      enjoy yours, attractac

      Hi attractac,

      Regarding moderation and for info - there is a known issue where text without spaces between sentences are treated as links in some cases so get sent for mod. In this case it was day.plenty was trapped (and appears as a link here) so I edit a space in. It is an increasing issue due to phone/tablet etc usage and there is a fix in for this but if any "innocent" posts go for mod this will probably be the reason. 

      Regards,

      Alan

      Hi renee

      Glad you have landed in your new home and you are pleased with it.

      I think maybe a chill out day or two to give your hips a chance to recover will be a good idea. Glad the bed situation is now resolved. You should be a lot more comfortable now too.. x :-)

      Good morning Hailea and others, 

      I feel as if I have done 10 rounds of boxing and been knocked down - because of all this doing I forgot to refill my pain medication ... not good -

      My operated hip hurts- this gnawing pain is sort of back ... on the side/front of hip ... feeling the hardware in hip and thigh bone ... 

      Also a wee bit emotional and having pity-parties during the day ... being 67 years old and still like a rolling stone, moving from one place to another, you see .... poor me cry

      it is going to be another lovely day here - 

      Thank you all - 

      warmest and biggest hug I can give to you

      renee

      Thank you again for you support -

      Allow yourself a pity party but make sure you bring some of your favourite food and books to it. Write about your party it in pen so it is quick and no thinking.

      I am seriously trying not to gain weight but I have had my daughter buy what we call a plain loaf here. Really nice crusty bread and real butter. I indulge when I am feeling down.

      Another rainy day here so up and down the hallway again.

    Hi Renee

    Well, you are in and that is the main thing!

    Just unpack what you need to keep you going and try to rest today - all the other stuff can wait.

    Your bungalow sounds lovely and yes, trees do give off good energy. I am surrounded by them in our garden with all the birds and squirrels that live in them.

    Hope you have a lovely day exploring your new surroundings

    God bless you

    Linda xx
