Thanks so much to all of you who have been sending get-well wishes my way. :)
Yesterday's trip to the doctor was very beneficial. I do not have any broken ribs, praise the Lord! Most likely I've torn a couple of muscles. I'm taking some medications that have helped decrease the pain. The doctor said it could possibly take 6-8 weeks for me to feel "normal" again. I really can't complain, though, because there are so many people who are struggling to just survive each day. I'm blessed!
Since I was feeling a little bit better, we all enjoyed eating our lunch outside. Curly Girl and Lil' Nut ate their food in the garden.
Bookworm and Mickey Mouse opted to dine on the big rocks in the front yard.
It felt so nice to sit outside for a while and enjoy the beautiful weather. I'm so glad that spring is officially here! We spotted some cardinals and a brown thrush while we were outside. We also spotted two butterflies in the garden. I took some time to evaluate the state of our garden. It looks pretty pathetic right now. Instead of raking up our leaves in the fall like most people, we instead wait until spring. This isn't due to our gardening smarts--we're just a bit lazy. It's going to take a lot of work to get the garden from what it looks like now
to what it looked like last year.
At least I have a lot of little helpers. :)
