Your poem for Karenina was funny and uplifting, Debi.
I'm sure she got the laugh as intended. You did a great
job including the many details of her fall. I'm glad she
didn't get hurt worse. Yes, her foot will mend. I liked the
line with the 're-boot' in it. That would be true of several
'things--just like a computer that was restarted after being
off. Karenina has needed a re-boot for a while in my opinion.
I believed she laughed at that line. Laughter, of course, helps
speed healing. She is a special friend with a huge heart, so it's
easy to understand the bond you and she have forged. Your words
were well chosen and created great imagery. The rhymes worked well too. The line about the cone was hilarious and probably made her
laugh more.
Thanks for the update.
Please keep us informed, Jan

I hope you know Jake, that if there is something going on with you, I would be more than happy to do the same for any dear friend, actually anyone who is in need of the two things that people need most. It is a proven fact that those who feel the love and support of their -peers and friends have a less chance of depression and a greater chance of healing. That is why we are called to care for others before think of only ourselves. Please know that always, .
So do you mind me asking, with all respect, if it was my poem are the subject matter? I appreciate your honesty very much, my dear friend .

Hey Debi,

I can't read this but I did read Karenina's message. Thanks for updating us on what happened. I've been wondering why I hadn't heard from her lately.

Get well soon!

Pam

Oh no Pam, is it the font, size, or both?

reply by Pam Lonsdale on 13-Jan-2023

I always have trouble with cursive on this site. Don't worry about it, dear. I'm probably the only one.

reply by the author on 13-Jan-2023

I used the best font that is between hand writing and cursive. But no, I want your opinion on my poems,.
I will have it changed by 8:30.

Oh, that is a silly poem of well wishing. I am sure it will make her feel better. I was not aware that she had a fall. I wish her a speedy recovery. Evi

So sorry to know about more unwanted trouble from our own sweet Karenina. She was the first one to welcome me to Fanstory, and I will never forget! Sending hugs and prayers!

What a nice get-well message to your friend, and what an unfortunate accident she had! I'm sure she's thinking of all kinds of ways she might have avoided it, but accidents just happen. I'm sure you help to cheer her up, Debi. This is a great, amusing poem that I'm sure she loved.

Wow, Thelma, er I mean Debi (or are you Louise?)--- This poem is bloody funny and I am SO glad you went THAT way, while kindly asking for prayers. I can feel everyone that has been following my life of late to be rolling their eyes. NONE so much as me!

(Public Service Announcement to all who read this: NEVER a good idea (particularly if you are NORTH of 65) to pick up a dripping wet vac and decide it's a wonderful idea to "carefully" carry it back down twelve basement stairs.)

Love every line here my friend. It was NOT a "broken" humerus" and that made me smile, especially wide! I am not yet in "scoot" mode ~ in fact I did this Monday and today (need I point out, Friday the THIRTEENTH)-is day five. I'm still "imprisoned" in the little guest room on the second floor (AFTER the family version of the SWAT team got me UP here!)

The big goal is to be able to go downstairs! (Townhouse apt. so downstairs is where all the action is -- Kitchen, Living room, oh---a DOOR I can peer out of! )

Considering my very very no good horrible judgment I realize I am blessed not to have broken a hip or hit my (hard) head.

Do you have ESP? There will be a "Boot" in my future-- (great "reboot line!)

I wish narcotics had worked for me those first few days. Sadly Tramadol sent me into a hallucinogenic fall.

Thank you so much to you and to all who may read this.

I've said it before, but I know blessings when I see them...

I SO appreciate you!

Karenina

Thanks sweetie and you are welcome, and I can take that line out, as it was wasn't meant to suggest that you were on the meds, because I know you aren't but used it for humor. And yeah, I have worn a boot a few times as I have broken my foot, had foot surgery and also a few years ago, shattered my ankle and had to have an artificial one made at the Mayo
Clinic and was non weight bearing in a care center for three months. That time I was in 11 different casts. This bionic woman knows too well how this stuff works. Lol.

reply by karenina on 13-Jan-2023

Oh LORD now. Do not change a thing! I absolutely WAS on narcs and wish they had worked for me those first few days. (Sorry if you thought I was hinting to remove it, I was not...)

reply by the author on 14-Jan-2023

No, that's ok because I had to change a few other things. Pam can't read the cursive even to I was using the easiest to read. And Amahra was confused at first about the humerus bone thing. She didn't catch the spelling differences but now that reads better too. Plus I changed it to a black background and yellow font.

Oh yes indeed, I had to laugh about the Thelma and Louise quip, but please don't drive off the cliff either one of you. You are both precious to us, I will continue to pray for two of the most selfless women I know. Karen is likewise a great friend, we need you both, bless you for caring dear girl, blessings Roy
