Update

I am improving. But my cognitive abilities are in question, probably due to the medication.  Reagan is president, right?

I walked for the first time after a scorpion charged at me. It was more like a Frankenstein walk. Pura vida.

I still need recuperation time and RAID insect killer close at hand.

I hope to be back online by the end of the week.

Thank you so much for visiting and all of your kind words.

This photo will be in the history books.

Peace and love.

I am alive

The surgery went great. All my tests were great.

I am woman, I am strong.

From This on Sunday

To This on Saturday

Actually, my doctor was excellent and so was the hospital care. This wasn't my first rodeo in Costa Rica and I wasn't disappointed.

I can walk with a little help from my new friends (crutches) which have replaced my live friends.

All your thoughts, prayers, vibrations apparently worked. Deep curtsy, kind people.

Hugs from me.

Lisa

Surgery is tonight

I am a bit scared. Say a little prayer or send good vibes...even thoughts will help.

Thanks for visiting. 

All Hat No Leg

 

NOTICE: I am drugged and will not take responsibility, for anything. By the way, I didn't know I have thunder thighs. It must be the camera angle. That cast feels like it weighs 100 lbs.

I am waiting for my surgery date, immobile plus non compos mentis. 

Thank you so much for all the good wishes.

I'll keep you updated.

Pura vida.

Breaking News, Literally

I broke my leg below the knee in two places. I fell in the living room. What an ordeal. I have a cast from my toes to mid-thigh. I need surgery to put in a titanium pin or I can't walk again.

I got home at 2am this morn.

I want to thank the person who invented morphine.

Happy April Fools Day

Americans skeptical about religious objections to COVID-19 vaccines, but oppose employer mandates

While many public and private employers in the United States have required workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19, some are allowing exemptions for people who say the vaccine violates their religious beliefs. But most U.S. adults do not believe that these requests for religious exemptions are sincere, according to a new Pew Research Center survey.
