Our dear friend, Neha, of Forgotten Meadows, has asked us to join her in a poetry collaboration! If you’ve ever participated, you know how beautiful the piece becomes, with each of us contributing our thoughts about the photo prompt, which happens to be a wonderful shot Neha took herself!!.

fracture, hospital, life, my life, wrist

Hello my friends,

As most of you know, my mom fell, breaking her wrist, and is staying with me. Last night, it was my turn in the ER. I fell in a rather bizarre way. I’m laughing about it now but I wasn’t last night.

I was attempting to get up from siting on the floor with Alyssa. My right wrist snapped back, I went down and hit my head on her shoulder. I have now registered said shoulder as a lethal weapon. So off to the hospital we went.

To make a long story short, although the doc said she saw what could be a fracture, and proceeded to splint/cast my wrist, the radiologist called this morning to tell me there was no fracture. It’s just very badly sprained. Phew.

On that happy note, I shall give my wrist a rest. My posts will be sporadic. Hope to see you soon. 😊

❤️ Dorinda

With each flickering flame, my years unfold

Tapering down, leaving days of untold

Dripping memories, of past events

Happier times, still I’m not quite content

Candelabra in hand, a welcoming light

The fire, still burning, with no end in sight

Celebrating the day, reaching for more

Wondering what this life has in store

As closer to Halloween, comes the time

Knowing I still haven’t yet reached my prime

So, I’ll blow out the candles, let the wax seal my fate

On this day in October, 2017, twenty-eight

In case you haven’t figured it out, today is my birthday. I originally posted this last year and have amended it to reflect this years date. Let’s party!!
