Just because of you Bethany, as your daytime is coming while it's almost midnight here, I finished photos I took while in the hospital. I've had no time to arrange them yet. Some pictures can only be seen when lying

More tomorrow.

LOVE IT, WILDFLOWER!

Thank you Lori!

Love that one, too! Wish we had green here LOL

I wish I could go to far away places now.
Hospital bed removed dorsal 12 and all the 5 lumbar vertebrae, doctor put them back today afternoon

Ouch! You're supposed to get better in hospital, aren't you?! Hope you're all right now.

Beautiful pictures! Spring is everywhere now.

Lots of money was withdrawn from healthcare in the last 8 years. There are few physicians, nurses (they go abroad), money is not even enough for loss of amortisation and wages.
I hope the new government changes the situation.

Never ever gonna go to hospital again, or if inevitable, I'll take my bed! Also medication.

In a way (in the head) I've got better, or started to go on that way. It was an ease to get the final diagnose, it was a constant subconscious fear for decades. Not easy, but have to cope with it.

Lori, nothing green down there???

Love your pictures, wildflower, just what the doctor ordered !

I know what you mean about healthcare systems, ours is notably in shambles !!

As you say, wildflower, we must all find ways to cope, and this place with Robin & Dwina and everyone involved here, is very therapeutic !

Truly Bethany!

Oh my gosh, Wildflower! You are a real trooper! *Hugs*

There is minimal green here LOL

Sorry, Lori, I could not live there

I totally understand LOL! Al Ain has a lot of green, but it's two hours from here....

Here's some green for you Lori, nothing awesome just short walk.

Ooooh, woods! Rock on!

This looks so inviting. I would like to take a walk there right away.

Lovely photos Wildflower!!....glad to know you are feeling better!!

Yes for a couple of days I've been feeling better and stronger, I could go out to the streets alone, and it wasn't so terrible.

Today my mum has been taken to hospital / pancreatitis suspicion / Don't know how serious.

next day: it's very serious alas...
operated at night appendicitis + peritonitis.
She has not been waken up after the operation.

I am praying, wildflower xx

Oh, my goodness, wildflower, you and your Mum are in my thoughts.

Thank you girls, your and others' prayers have seemed to work, today when I went to see her, she was awake, we could speak with her all right, doctors say, if no complications, she will get over it. She is very weak of course....

Best wishes for your mother, Gabi!

From me too, wildflower, what good news .

I'm so pleased to hear the positive news
I will continue to pray,
Sending you bags of hugs xx

Thank you, it is necessary to continue to pray. Mum's feeling very bad. Doctors are positive, but we only see her suffering very much.
The hospital and doctors, nurses are very good and nice, I do hope they know something we can't see.
I wish the physician in attendance would have gone to see her when she called him on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. At last her doctor saw her in Monday afternoon.
At first she thought her pains were caused by eating some cherry.
Nevertheless we are positive in faith.

Sending good thoughts to both of you!

In the morning I spoke to her - that's a good thing - for she has hardly called us so far. Told about the things she needed.
I'm dying of the heat at home, should be outdoors.
Need to wait for my son.

I hope the hospital has air condition. Here we have the hottest beginning of July in almost sixty years. We are living in an old house that takes a while to heat up when you keep the curtains shut during the day. So for the moment it's safer to stay indoors, but I guess that will change over the weekend.

Fortunately they have air condition. But we live at the highest level in a housing estate building under flat roof. without air condition.
It's like hell. If I don't dare to go out in the morning, I die by noon. (Windows facing east)
This year is the year of all time records by all means. (water, heat)
Previous one too, etc...

Mother looked better today. I put on her ring to take it home with me, by the time we got home I lost all energy and felt like fainting. The ring has her aura.

Oh My , everyone is heating up !

It is quite warm here, but we can jump in the lake (and, sometimes, one must in order to get away from the little black flies (ouch) that live in the pines )!
