WORRIED


                                          The side walk is very slippery with the rain fallen petals. and leaves

.I had not had a good ight's sleep but I aways find the early morning walk helps me to wake up.  I was feeling better when my foot as I step onto the side walk from the road.  I always tell dad there will be always be people aroung to help me.  Sure enough Hilary's (the jam lady) husband drove by and saw me fall.  I really need help to get up.  They are both the kindest people you could ever meet.  He drove me over to their house.

She talked to me while Spenser explored the house.  The dog and cat came out to watch. She brought me some orange juice and phoned dad but the phone was busy, busy, busy.  She is worried about dad so she runs from her house to my house to knock on the door and bring him back.

I did not want to go to the emergency room but when to please dad.  I had a cut a big goose egg on my head.  I have a hard head.    I did sit around for about 5 hours.  Dad did well taking care of me.  He knew I was waiting for a Cat scan so finally drove home.  Fortunately it was not supper busy and I got in soon after he left.  I went because I did not want to worry him.

My head hurt and they gave me some pills.  They do not often bother to do that.  My head hurt and I felt sick to my stomach.  My little finger also hurt.  But it was not broken.  Sitting in the chair made  my back ache.  The nurses and the doctor were very kind and caring.

We arrived home and the children phoned.  Carol, Sandra and Ken.  I worry about Rick who did not phone.  It is time we had a nice phone visit with him.

Hilary came over to see how I was and yes she brought some jam.

I had a very strange dream last night. t was about fire and water.  The whole world was on fire.  There were angry voices full of hate which seemed to fuel the fire.  

A huge cloud came and rain started to fall.  Raindrops hit the earth and flowers grew.  People were singing and bringing buckets of water.  Even little children were helping.  It all seemed very real.

Sandra is coming to walk Spenser this morning.  I have a fuzzy head and my wrist hurts but I am fortunate it was not worse.

Oh! I'm sorry you had a fall, Beth!
Hopefully the CAT scan comes out fine.

I'm intrigued with your dream.

Oh no! Sorry to hear you had a fall. I am glad you were well taken care of and that you can heal up, hopefully quick. I am always afraid of slipping when walking Daisy, when the snow starts to fall and the ice comes. Gotta be extra cautious. We had some sleet today and it built up some small snow and melted a couple hours later. Hoping it holds off until after Halloween. I am dressing up for work and decorating to partake in the chance to win gift prizes. LOL we will also handout candy next weekend. Do you guys get many kids for Halloween?
