This is smiling sally's first born grandchild, Lauren, writing for her. Here is her story.
On Tuesday, December 23rd I was rushed to the emergency room with shortness of breath and chest pains. Notice it's Blue.
Look it's Blue inside and out. Notice these Blue halls and carpeting. This hospital is loaded with Blue!
Look, even the hospital gown is Blue. Please don't look too closely at the no make up or messy hair.
Jane sent me this beautiful Christmas tree from Pennsylvania. Notice the Blue ribbons! She had the florist intertwine the ribbons, just for me. She didn't realize that I'd be in the hospital! This beautiful tree was my only Christmas decoration!
My daughter-in-law, Sharon, said, "If you're going to be in the hospital for Christmas we'll bring Christmas to you!" and my son's entire family came! We were able to share gifts, laugh together, and visit.
It was truly my favorite Christmas ever!
How was your Christmas?
It's nice you recovered soon. The Christmas tree is very beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Wishing you a Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteHello, Sally, I hope you are feeling much better now. I think you have wonderful family members - your granddaughter Lauren writing for you and your daughter-in-law making sure you don't feel blue on Christmas by bringing her family and Christmas to you! Such sweet moments.
ReplyDeleteTake care and here's hoping you'll be up and about soon.
Wishing you a great 2015~!
My Christmas was good but scaled down this year.
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas sounds way more eventful.
Hope you have a speedy recovery.
All the best & I hope you have a wonderful New Year.

Hope you get home soon - I have blue posts on my Hyde Daily and Ackworth born blogs but Mr Linky doesn't like me still!

Hi Sally,Our daughter and family came in late last night and I am late posting dear.
ReplyDeleteI hope your spirit is up and you will be home soon. I contacted bj and LV but could not figure out if I found the right Sally. Does she live in Colorado?
You are in my thoughts and prayers so much.
Sending you love and get well wishes.
Jeanne
Oh dear, fancy ending up in hospital for Christmas. What great family to turn that from disaster to success! Be well soon Sally!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling much better; Happy New Year :)
ReplyDeletehappy blue Monday.
ReplyDeleteSally! I hate that you were in the hospital! I am so sorry, but I am relieved to hear you had a good time visiting with your loved ones.
ReplyDeleteWe had a quiet Christmas by choice. I am still trying to get my strength back. Mr. Magpie worked late Christmas Eve. But we celebrated Christmas in our hearts. I didn't have a tree. But I tried to decorate the table and did wrap and deliver gifts. We had invitations out which we politely declined. It was necessary.
Please let me know how you are now. I wish there were something I could do to help, but sometimes rest is the best alternative as I'm finding out.
Love you and glad that the hospital was at least BLUE.

Sheila
I hope you are fully recovered now Sally.
ReplyDeleteI haven't posted a blue Monday for quite some time mainly because I haven't had blue included in my posts. I've missed the fun ;D
Your tree is beautiful and I'm glad even in your unforeseen circumstances that you were able to enjoy a Christmas with your loved ones around you.
Happy New Year and may all of your Monday's be blue (if you see what I mean)
xoxo
What?? You sure have to be the best Sally at making the most out of a bad situation - glad you were able to appreciate all the blues in your hospital and that you had a fun Christmas, even if it wasn't the Christmas you'd expected!
ReplyDeleteGet well soon
Hugs to you all, sending you some good old Aussie Sunshine :)
