I am still alive…waiting for my next appointment during which the stitches will be removed and the hard cast will be put on.
I suspect caring for me is wearing on my family so I am trying to do things for myself, giving them a break.
I’ve been feeling sluggish and not creative. I hope that changes soon.
Good thing is that the pain is minimal now, as long as I protect my injury.
Miss you…
Clare L. Martin 
Being put to sleep is hard on the body and mind.
It really does take a while for all that stuff to work its way out of the body.
I’d write my name on your cast if I was around.
Aww sweet. I think this cast is going to be decorated for Mardi Gras!!!
Hi Clare. You’re in my thoughts and prayers. Get better soon. Love, Helen
Thanks Helen. I’m feeling much better since the early weeks. I wanted to tell you that I am dreaming poetry but the poems disappear as I dream them.
Don’t worry about the “dream poems.” Enjoy them.
I will. They are happening every night! I’ve been too distracted when awake to write, it seems.
