Header Challenge

Everytime I think of the Monarchs that we raised from eggs I smile.

Please visit the other team members listed in my sidebar to see what makes them smile.

**We are actually looking for two more members to join this weekly contest. Let me know in your comment if you are interested.

Today I am Thankful that my brace is off of my arm and the sutures removed. I now have a wrist brace, cannot use my wrist for four weeks. Must bend and straighten my elbow completely in the next coming weeks or I will not ever be able to...the tendons are so tight they feel like a rubber band about to pop!

Beautiful shots Darla!

Love it Darla.

I'm sure your arm will bend pretty soon, I broke my are in 1977 and in traction for 4 weeks, took my arm to bend 3-4 weeks more, it goes slow tho.

Love the butterfly photos... They do make me smile!!!!!

Glad you got your sutures removed. Sounds like you will be working that elbow hard the next few weeks. Do you have to have the other arm done also?

Have a great week.
Hugs,
Betsy

I know, rehab after surgery is no fun!

Hi Darla-dear~~ I just read your email. I can't imagine how strange your arm must feel. I hope the physical therapist will be a nice person and guide you to full usage again. At least you've got your TYPING fingers back. :)

Was that a whole year ago you and your kids raised monarchs? Where does the time go??? Great photos--kiddos are the best!

There some nice looking butterflies. They must be quite friendly too, to land on someone's nose.

Hope your arm improves ... I've had tendonitis, it hurts like everything.
Best of luck!

Have a lovely summer's eve ~

Your header photograph made me smile. What a cute picture! That's a good incentive to work your elbow.

Darla: Cool shot, I think the header would make me sneeze.

Twisted Fencepost said...

Makes me smile, too!!
Wow, that fast for those tendons to tighten up?! Don't take long does it? Well I hope it loosens up just as fast!!

Bonnie said...

Love that last photo!

Corner Gardener Sue said...

I love your header photo! I saw Fishing Guy's, and it is cool, too. It's going to be a tough call.

I am too scatterbrained, and not creative enough to join the challenge. Also, I always have to have a yellow lab and a red fire hydrant in mine. LOL

I hope your healing is continuing to go OK.
