I'm so glad to hear that you didn't break anything. I hope that you're on the mend now.<br /><br />You're right, we don't celebrate Thanksgiving in the UK. Well, American expats do, but it's not on the radar for the rest of us. Having said that, my daughter's university hall of residence in St Andrews had a joint Christmas/Thanksgiving meal last week because there are a lot of American students at her university. The term is winding down now - exams next week - so they got the celebration out of the way before the students got too busy revising and then heading home for the Christmas holidays.<br /><br />I share your liking for turkey sandwiches! How nice of your friend to bring some by for you.<br /><br />Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11269887100694066103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829480581927126938.post-15480829020330965582012-12-06T06:22:56.093-08:002012-12-06T06:22:56.093-08:00Oh my!

We're heading home in less than two weeks for Christmas. We weren't home last year, so we're really looking forward to it. It's great to see the family again.

As you say yourself - those things can be dangerous! I'm a potential victim myself due to the medicines I take, so I have a feeling I know hoe you felt.<br /><br />Now you must take life easy for a little while in your mild climate, and don't worry about us with down to -10 Degrees C and a bit of snow :-)Rune Eidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01008247272056395901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829480581927126938.post-70433242533337985852012-12-01T15:08:07.188-08:002012-12-01T15:08:07.188-08:00Darn Darlene I was shaking my head the minute I re...Darn Darlene I was shaking my head the minute I read that you were walking in the house alone. I could read between the lines and sure hated to read them too.<br />Pets sure have a way of giving us so much love but can easily cause us to fall too.<br />Praise God you did not break your hip. It's a Blessing.<br />I hope you recover soon and feel like writing.<br />As you know I have boring post and nothing to write about either but I try to write when I can.<br />We have another thing in common. My favorite thing about Thanksgiving left overs is a nice Turkey sandwich the next several days but I too left without bringing Turkey home.<br />I am going to try and show pictures tonight on my post of my old living room suit that has been stored at my brothers for the last few years and I finally was able to have it brought out here. I love relaxing on it and have really missed it. lol<br />See I have nothing to post either.<br />Love<br />MaggieGrandma Yellow Hairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10917551672825097342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829480581927126938.post-31789493548892859972012-11-30T18:15:42.631-08:002012-11-30T18:15:42.631-08:00So sorry to hear about your fall Darlene, and hope...So sorry to hear about your fall Darlene, and hope for a speedy recovery, although the resulting bruising can look alarming. So glad it is not a broken hip - so many live in fear of that happening.Good that you have strong bones. I was diagnosed with an alarmning bone densisty reading in my mid-fifties, and am on medication for osteoporosis, so I dread anything like that happening. <br />I'm glad that you and Dick enjoyed those turkey sandwiches. Take care - sending warm thoughts your way.

Today we did a poor lady who fell and broke her nose, shoulder, pelvis, and her hip! My Mom did that very same thing except her hip was OK. You are right about many of them not healing. Please be very careful and I hope you feel really good for Christmas. How nice to have a sweet neighbor to bring you those goodies! Nothing beats a yummy turkey sandwich! Our dear Donna had surgery today to remove her right breast. Keep her in your prayers..she's doing good so far and hopes to go home tomorrow. Whew, this is a long reply!

I think you can now be rest assured that you do indeed have great bones....you passed the test for sure. <br /><br />And how lucky you are to get to watch that DVD! Do they sell that anywhere, do you know?

I do hope you heal quickly and are back up and around. I am very grateful you didn't break any bones; that's a miracle. <br />I am happy your dear friend brought you some left over Turkey. Those next day turkey sandwiches are my favoriate part. We had a boat load of family here for Thanksgiving. It was so much fun. My daughter and her family were here for a few days so we had a good time. She has such a cute family. You take good care of yourself. Just sit back and enjoy a Christmas novel. <br />Love you much!LeAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107717294803352571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829480581927126938.post-25332761487276608182012-11-28T10:13:26.105-08:002012-11-28T10:13:26.105-08:00Darn it, Darlene - I can relate to your mishaps be...Darn it, Darlene - I can relate to your mishaps because I have them happen to me, too. When I buy Advil, I always get the HUGE "jar" of them. The other night I got up to take some, and in the dark dropped the whole bottle on my second toe, spilling the rest EVERYWHERE. So in addition to a swollen, bruised toe, I had to turn on the light and pick up a couple hundred pills. Sweet... I'm glad you didn't have a serious injury, however. So lucky! And tender mercies: a plate of turkey for your sandwiches! Aren't those just the best the day after Thanksgiving? I think that's what I missed the most about not cooking.<br />Hope you're feeling better and better. You and I just need to slow down and watch what we're doing. I think we're in too big a hurry to have fun!karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16313237142656662148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829480581927126938.post-68983031141190846222012-11-28T07:03:07.588-08:002012-11-28T07:03:07.588-08:00Poor Darlene, this must have been a bit frightenin...Poor Darlene, this must have been a bit frightening for you.<br />You have had some bad luck in a way and good luck in another. I'm sorry about your fall but glad that you didn't broke your hips and some bones or tore some ligaments or sprained your ankles. Your angel surely was looking after you to save you from harm. <br /><br />I hope that you will heal all those bruises and be as good as new in plenty of time for the Holidays.<br /><br />I love hot turkey sandwiches with gravy on top, fries and veggies. I don't know if they serve this where you live but here it's popular.<br /><br />You have friends from far and wide and I'm from New Brunswick, Canada.<br />It's very cold and we had a very heavy frost this morning but the sun is shining brightly now and the sky is blue.<br /><br />Stay safe and heal fast.<br />Hugs. <br /><br />JB<br />Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.com
