My recovery is not going all that smoothly. I made light of the pepper incident yesterday but spent a couple of hours in emergency today to find out that I have pulled some internal stitches and some muscles but have no internal bleeding. I had a pretty painful afternoon and night last night, but didn't go to Emergency as I was going to town today anyway.
I am a fast mover and it's very hard for me to slow down long enough to relax. I went grocery shopping today and thought I was being good as my sister was pushing the cart. I had a serious weak spell when we were almost through and had to sit on a little step stool someone had left in the aisle. I would have resorted to the floor. That was when I decided for sure to go to the ER.
All is well. I just have to slow down, be a better patient, and of course, avoid pepper. Who knew it would be this hard?
I don't want to make All The Same Mistakes. Mieka Pauley has that covered. Another necessary song for today is Lean on Me by Bill Withers. I hardly ever play blues here. There's no reason for that as I love the blues and have a good collection. I'll remedy that with John Mayall and Mavis Staples doing Wake Up Call.

My mother stayed here after I had surgery. I wasn't allowed to drive or lift anything heavier than a phone which I dutifully obeyed; however, nothing was said about cleaning cabinets or polishing or sweeping which I did when my mother was out doing errands. She caught me and was appalled. I suggest prudence.
You be a good girl or I will come over there!
Yah, Cuidado. Stop tearing things up! Just get better!
PS: your music continues to amaze me. I'm learning so much! Never heard of Mieka Pauley.....
PPS: Martha Wainwright's "These Flowers" on the photo blog: simply gorgeous. Thanks for the recent Wainwright references. I've been meaning to dive into Martha's work--now I surely will!
Kat, It is so hard for me to slow down but I really, really am going to try as the next time I may end up in more trouble.
Michael, I am really going to try. I learned my lesson.
Ralph, I'm so glad you like the music. I've got tons more that's for sure. Do you ever visit the music pages listed at the top right? I love Rufus, as you know, but I think Martha has the most natural talent. She reminds me of her dad who I believe is the most talented of them all, though I think most would not agree. Different tastes and all!
