Open letter to the universe....

Dear Universe,remember the conversation we had the other night? The one where I said
" I'm ready for whatever you have to give me?" UH ,can I rephrase that, because
I meant the "GOOD STUFF"....
I feel like I'm walking around with a bit of a dark cloud,I don't mean to harp on
this issue because for the most part I'm a lucky girl!!!!
So why am I feeling this way you ask?
Well for starters I came down with a staph infection that had to be excised in the doctors office, ( FUN STUFF ) then packed every night at home ( MORE FUN STUFF)#1
My computer crashed, #2
I have had a bad earache for the last 4 days#3
And the lastest just happened today #4
See the lovely little egg growing from my ankle?



I was getting ready to go see my mom,when low and behold I stepped wrong and fell.I remembered hearing a loud cracking sound as my ankle twisted underneath the weight of my body... I was more in shock than in pain,as I sat there in a bit of a daze.
I was able to get up with some help, so I thought hey I'm ok, afterall I am a lucky girl!!!?
So I'm in the car for the hr drive to mom's home and I'm having discomfort, I look down and see this bump,awww S**T!! I thought bad luck was supposed to come in 3's?? So who's the wise guy who changed the d*** rules and why wasn't I told about it, HUH!!....?

Blessings,Flora

Oh Flora I am so sorry for your discomforts and dilemmas...

Wat a time this is for you....

I know it will change...

But I also know how disheartening if can seem...

Flora, I am so sorry. They say we must know pain and suffering to know joy and happiness. I know this is true but it doesn't seem to help much when we are experiencing the "bad" part. I hope though, that knowing there are people like me and others who care about you and hope that things change quickly for you and you are again experiencing the joy of life. Get better soon my friend and quit talking to the universe! Hee hee

Hola Flora,

Oh Flora, I'm so sorry.
You know the saying, When it rains, it pours. I know the feeling too well. Hopefully everything is behind you now, and you will get back to normal soon. Please take care,

Flora said...

Thanks Tammy!!!I know now that I should just keep my mouth shut huh?
Either that or think out very carefully what I really mean!!!
blessings,Flora

Ginny Diezel said...

Good GRIEF, Flora! Please take care of yourself! I know what you mean about things ganging up! My computer crashed in August, despite my security. Somehow, I managed to get a virus! I lost my address book, my bookmarks, and all of my emails from people interested in my artwork! Ick! Hang in there! I sympathize right along with you! Take good care of that ankle - certainly nothing to take lightly! xoxo Ginny

Flora said...

Thanks to all of you sweet ladies for your words of wisdom and kindness!!!
I hate to admit it Spirit Mama and Mima, but maybe you two are right.
blessings,Flora

your ankle looks like my ankle. i was walking down the street and simply steps on a piece of pavement that was off by a quarter inch but it was enough for me to turn my ankle. i felt something sort of tear. ugh! i have had a bump for weeks and it is sore! hope yours heals soon!!!

Flora said...

JAZ,
Bless your heart!!So there is no getting around this " dilema" any sooner.!!!Well I've borrowed my moms extra walker and I guess I will be hobblin around for a while.
Blessings,Flora

Arrrrgh! Floradora, you poor thing!! Do not be surprised to have permanent swelling in your ankle. I stepped off a step carrying a forty pound box and turned my ankle about 10 years ago and I still have a noticable bump!

Sorry, Sweetie -Hope things turn around soon!

Josie

Flora said...

Arrrrgh!! is right!!! Well I can't say i'm looking forward to an unsightly bump on my boney ankle
it will really stand out now!!
Blessings,Flora

Lisa said...

Oh no, Flora, I came over to thank you for popping in, but...the universe wants you to experience it all at once? Lay back and ask yourself, what am I learning from this...I don't know either, but try epson salts. You always leave Blessing to everyone, so I'll leave you with many blessings.

Brandi McKenna said...

Oh FLORA>>>> Iam so sorry to hear of it all. A year ago in October I got a MRSA infection...It was in my left ankle and it was an ordeal to pack it and all that too. I put raw Manuka honey on it and it made it better faster. I hope things get better there for you soon...keep your chin up!!!

Chicken Lips said...

Bless your heart! When it rains, it pours, doesn't it! I hope the misfortune is over and it's all sunshine and rainbows from here on out!

Georgina said...

Oh no, my Flora. Well, will just chalk this up to a little bad mojo and should clear away soon. I've had weeks like that and eventually the black clouds and the sky is once more blue. Just take care of yourself and stay put...the studio is where you should be, it's your happy place. I've been down with a little something too...had the jalapeno popper from hell...that's what happened to my tummy, but I'm much better today...have a good one and tell the Universe to back off!!! LOL

Flora said...

Just reading everyones good will and advice is very uplifting.
My ankle is healing nicely, still painful but less so than yesterday,
and the swelling is down.
Thanks again to all!!!
Blessings,Flora

Doreen Frost said...

Good Lord Flora..you poor thing!!!! Wishing you a much, much better day and week..month..ect!!!! So sorry about the staff infection..gosh that's scary..and now the ankle along with everything else.

HUGS TO YOU!!!!

ps...if you heard the crack..sounds like you may have broken something...perhaps you should see the Dr.

:)Doreen

Flora said...

Thank You Doreen!!!,
I probably should have but the swelling is down considerably today and so is the pain!!!So I'm gonna baby it some more and see...
Blessings,Flora

PEA said...

Flora I hope you went to the DR.?
Do you have a ace bandage? Or panty hose work well as well. I like to wear knee highs at night instead of the ace. It makes me sweat( when I hurt myself)
You poor thing I know the rains all too well. We say if it were not for bad luck we would have none at all!
Prayers for healing and sweetness only ahead.
Hugs,Pea

Flora said...

Hell Pea!!!!,
I know I should have gone but I didn't
The swelling has gone down and I'm able to walk a little...
Thanks for your prayers!!!
Blessings,Flora

Chris 'Frog Queen' Davis said...

Flora said...

Ayala Art said...

Flora you have a way of saying things, that even when i know it is painful and maddening, I still found myself smiling, sorry! I am sending you a Big Hug and my best wishes of a speedy recovery. My computer also had a horrid virus and lost the hard drive, and that was bad enough.
Martha

Flora said...

HEY MARTHA!!!!
Well if I can make you smile, then my job is done!!!;)
Life is always better with a smile anyway, dontcha think?
Blessing,
Flora

Tamara Dozier said...

Oh Flora, so sorry to hear you got hurt. A few years ago I was walking down the stairs from my porch (only 3 stairs) when I lifted my right foot and my left ankle turned. Unfortunetly I broke both bones and, as my doctor later told me, turned the tendons into hamburger. They had to operate on both sides of my ankle to repair it all.

You take care of yourself and please remember ... when you ask the universe for anything be very specific or it will test your metal.

lisanelsonart said...

Holy Cow, Flora - sounds like someone put a hex on you! It seems to me this kind of stuff always happens in a cluster. However, that means you're due for a whole lot of happy coming your way! Keep your chin up - this will all soon pass. Hugs, Lisa

Flora said...

Hello and thanks so much for visiting me!!
Ouch!!! Tamara,I was fortunate, my ankle is no longer swollen and I am walking around carefully...I believe that it was just a series of unfortunate events...;)
Lisa, I sure hope you are right!!!
blessings,
Flora

Marie Patterson Studio said...

Flora,
I've not been a very good blogger all ths month so I've not seen nor heard about your misfortunate fall.
So sorry to hear and I do hope that you're doing much better now!
I feel like I've been in one of my "hermit" modes all month and out of touch with everyone.

((Hugs))
Marie
