TIME OUT..........................

In the best interest of my left hand I find it necessary to take a short break from blogging.......that nasty staph infection has refused to go away and with no signs of it improving I need to stop using the computer......every time I go online to type the finger resembles W.C. Fields nose.....not a good thing.....I hope I can return soon and catch up with my Weekends in Paris....but in the meantime...remember.....Don't garden without gloves!!

See you all soon.....

Oh, sad. I hope you're feeling better really soon. Do take care of yourself. And I knew I should have worn gloves today. I think my hands look like 'man hands' tonight. Ugh.

Staph infection is not to be taken lightly so listen to your Dr. and I am sure the Boss will wait on you hand and foot:)
I will keep you in my prayers for a speedy recovery. Remember we can always communicate by phone should you get bored but you will have to have the Boss email me your phone number:) Joyce

So how did you get the staph infection? Guess I won't hear until you come back all better. Hubby and I had one staph infection after another from Jan to Aug of 2006. Have not had any since. Whew! They are not fun for sure. Get better soon.

I personally think its time to see the doc again .. infections like that linger and maybe a stronger med is needed ... please dont think its going away on its own

Please take care of yourself and yes, you should always wear gloves and cover your feet. Once I walked through the garden in sandals after just having a pedicure, stooped over to pull a few weeds. Harmless, I thought. The next day my toe was swollen like a cucumber...sad and painful lesson.
Take care.

Even in your compromised state, you are still "blogging." I remember something about wearing gloves for gardening but couldn't remember why it was so important. Now I know! And I have you to thank, Sue! Get better soon! I know you're still cultivating blog posts with every minute of daytime tv you may be forced to watch! I can just see your first post back, "Martha Stewart/Judge Judy Smackdown!"

So sorry it is not getting any better. I had staph in my thumb once from a sewing needle incident - it took some major meds to clear up. Take care of yourself and keep calling that Dr. We'll miss you. Sally

Thanks for the gloves warning...I usually start with them but can't stand working with them and I usually pull them off.

Please take care of yourself. We will miss you!

I'm sad to hear/see you're still out for the count...I've wanted to email/comment but feared it would make you type, LOL!! Well, you still managed to make me laugh with your Wedgeman's comment -- HA! That sounds like something my dad would have said. Hope you make the doughnuts...I want to see what you think!

Sue~ I too have been on a medical hiatus. I haven't posted on my home blog i some time, but you can still see me at the Darling Bakers. I know how important it is to take care of yourself. Sometimes it's hard until our bodies give us the not so subtle hints to listen. Take care we'll be here when your ready.

Sweet Wishes,

Hi Sue, I was wondering how you were doing! I was just telling my daughter's horticulture teacher that they must wear gloves! Her hand broke out yesterday while handling some plants that had a fungus!

I hope this goes away soon! Take care,

Daughter got a call on Wednesday at 4:00 a.m. from our home town Police Force..... It seems the "Big Boss" called them after seeing women in his closet and a dead man hanging from his Ceiling Fan.... Only Problem.......He doesn't have any ceiling fans in his house... Daughter...... having to make the decision what to do with him.....since we were home in Georgia sound asleep....and unable to hear even a bomb go off... Had the police take him to the local hospital...... Now the BB is heading towards 90 in a few months.... He lives alone and still drives.... We have been trying to get him into an Assisted Living Home for the past three years... He refused to budge.... He refused to let anyone into the house.. We also tried to get him to give up his license....to no avail.... The sad part is we could not get anyone to assist us... His doctor told us years ago that he was a grown man and we couldn't tell him what to do.... So back to the ER this Wednesday he was checked ...
