Living At The Hospital
We’re in our second week of living at the hospital. About the only time I see the outside world is when I go across the pedistrian’s bridge between the rehab hospital and the main hospital.
It was nice and sunny this morning when I took the picture, but before I went back, it had already started raining.
Until The Farmer is well enough to go home, this is My World!
Farmer’s Knee Surgery Updates
For anyone interested in following what’s happening with The Farmer’s Recovery, I’m trying to keep updates on Today’s Trek, my personal blog.
Go Seminoles!
Central Florida Seminole High School in Sanford, Florida, is a 6A football high school. Last night they won the state football championship semi-final game at their home stadium in Sanford. Way to go guys!
What’s really special about this team is one of their players. They are extremely blessed to have a super player named Ryan. He’s not only a great football player, but he happens to be a great grandson. We’re so proud of him!
Ryan is mainly a wide receiver for the Seminoles, but also occasionally plays corner on defense, and is the long snapper. He’s versatile, and pardon my bias, but he’s GOOD. (When I double-checked I got the facts right with The Farmer, he said I should also mention Ryan is a really good looking guy, too!)
Next week the Seminoles will play in the state championship game at what used to be called the Citrus Bowl Stadium in Orlando, Florida. They’re playing North Miami High School, if The Farmer got his facts straight. The North Miami High School has a really tough team that has scored at least 40 points in their last 4 football games in the play-offs, so Ryan and the Seminoles will really have to be on their game.
The Farmer would dearly love to be there to see Ryan play, but admits he never thought when he scheduled his knee replacements that the team would go so far. So he’ll still be in the Rehab Hospital and unable to attend Ryan’s game.
But you can bet our thoughts will be with Ryan and his team!
The Farmer’s Knees
We’re headed out of here in a couple of minutes to go to the hospital. The Farmer is having surgery at 8am to have both knees replaced. I may not be back on here much for a while!
A Little Beauty In Our Woods
The woods in my world are always interesting. There’s always something new to see, even if I go over the same path every day. Birds, flowers, a different pattern of light on a tree – I just never know what I might see. But sometimes a visit to the woods is really special.
Sometimes there are little people in the woods. It’s true! Recently when I was in the woods, I saw the most beautiful little fairy queen.
Isn’t she precious? I wish I could see her there each and every day, but most of the time she lives an alternate life far north of here, in Canada. There’s she’s a busy little person with therapy sessions, doctor visits, and playing at home. She has a sunny disposition, and is a delight to be around.
Every year Ellie plays dress-up and Grandma takes pictures for a calendar. We use a mix of these fantasy photos and pictures from her every day life for the calendars. The profits from selling these calendars (and one I make with farm life pictures) help pay for some of the expenses of special equipment, therapy and other stuff Ellie needs because she has Cerebral Palsy.
She’s one of the best things in my world.
