Sponges hanging in Tarpon Springs FL
This sign was on FaceBook a couple of weeks ago, and I saw lots of posts of flight attendants with their stories. So a few days ago I decided to post a photo of myself (I'd "followed the group already.) They said I had to be approved, and when and what did I fly? I gladly told them, because that was what my photo showed. Did it get posted? Nope. And no more posts from anyone either. Good ole FaceBook/Meta took down the site. I'm not even sure of the name, so searches don't go anyway. Glad I didn't divulge anything more than the airline I worked for and when. Whew!

Health update: having very little sleep, thanks to the steroids with mind racing – but of course I’m solving philosophical problems, galore, and ignoring anything in the news because it would really be frustrating. Yesterday went pretty well with meetings of lots of doctors and finishing off with the CT scan of my lungs today started at 3 AM with a blood draw. Waiting on culture of my sputum sample to define which kind of antibiotic is best. Am I getting used to Hospital life? I hope not. The best news from yesterday was beginning to feel well enough to do a little self-care like a shampoo and body lotion. Again, thank you for all the good wishes. My blog world, friends, you do count as friends.

Beautiful post. I'm really enjoying getting to know you my friend. Aloha
ReplyDeleteOh thank you my Hawaiian friend. After your comment, I added a little note to my text about my health which you missed. Basically I feel the warmth and compassion of the friends I know on the blog. Thank you.
DeleteGreat collection of signs and photos. The Coffee Pot is cute.
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a great day!
Thank you as always for being my early bird friend and making a comment!
DeleteSounds like you are in good hands and on the way to recovery.

Since I didn’t have a very good night, I refuse to comment on being in good hands and or recovering. However, my hope is still there
DeleteUh-oh, I missed that you were in the hospital. Backing up to read more.
ReplyDeleteStill working with a team of doctors, nurses, etc., lab people, CT scan technicians, just lots of people to help
DeleteWait, you were a flight attendant? I think we need to know more, especially now that they've been apparently censored.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have talked about it before on my block so you can do a search in that little Square on the right hand column,
Delete...Barbara, thanks for this great collection. I hope that you get home soon, the hospital is a horrible place to get a good night sleep!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like I’m going to be here a while and sleepless most of the time. At least I have blogs to read
DeleteI am sorry that you’re still there Barbara. I hope you get out soon.
ReplyDeleteStill waiting for one more test and consultation with an infectious specialist. So I’m just going to try to learn how to be more patient. At least the drugs (Steroids) Make me very inventive and creative
DeleteLove the coffee pot!
ReplyDeleteIt’s a winner isn’t it!
DeleteI haven't been commenting much lately, but I still stop by every morning to see how you are doing. Sending best wishes from my heart to yours... get well soon. (NewRobin13)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Robyn. It’s always good to hear from you. I’ve never never know when I will have an update, however so I’ll try to remember to do that at least before I go to bed tonight
DeleteWe are traveling 3 states away for wedding and the thing I am most excited about is a giant Coca Cola sign I want to photograph. Okay, a little weird I know. Glad they are keeping a good eye on you and hope you will be home soon.

DeleteOh, that’s a great idea. I know there used to be one downtown in Ashevill that I’ve seen in old photos, but it’s not there anymore. Coca-Cola signs, of course. I bet there’s a lot still in Atlanta. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with
I think that could be a 1964 photo. That's 61 years ago. Some rural people still had outhouses. plowed with mules and lived in little old shaky houses even ten years later when I lived down south. Hope you can get what you need and vacate the hospital soon.
ReplyDeleteHi Kristin -It’s good to hear from you again. And you are so right about people that live without as much as our society would expect. Living in Appalachia now, I certainly have familiarity with that!
DeleteWe have a teapot sign in one of the towns near me but this is the first coffee pot I've seen. I like it. Keep getting better so you can leave the place and head home.
ReplyDeleteI’ve never seen a little teapot that you could walk in like a coffee pot. I am planning to and I appreciate more wishes and that direction
DeleteFacebook is crap. So glad I dumped it a few years ago. Gladly missing out ! Be well soon, be better than ever, be YOU!! LOVE and best wishes. LS
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda Sue. Part of being better is accepting that I may not have increased lung capacity, but decreased for the rest of my life. Just having the rest of my life would be nice
DeleteSo my question got answered - they admitted you. Sorry that sleep is not factored in to recovery but try to turn off the brain and have some sweet dreams whenever you can. I hope sons are in touch and monitoring your care if only from afar. And yes, we are all friends here in blogland. We are all concerned about you!
ReplyDeleteFortunately, I can listen to music on my iPad to try to drown out some of the extraneous Sounds. I’ll be putting in an update in the morning about new things. Thank you so much for caring. Yes, my sons are most definitely supporting me and I’ve talked to them all by phone as well as texted
DeleteYou take it easy! It's not easy getting well in hospital!
ReplyDeleteWishing you healing!
ReplyDeleteGee, quiet nights in hospital are just not a thing are they? Wishing you a speedy recovery, at least to the point where you can go home, though full recovery may, I guess, take longer.
