It was Ambulance Officers breaking into our neighbours house! Well of course we hot footed it over there to see if we could help in any way.
Our dear wee neighbour had taken a fall on the kitchen floor... and couldn't move. The ambulance officers got her onto the stretcher and I went with her to hospital as her daughter (who lives with her) was out at the movies.
Myra is 84 ... and has had dreadful health in the past 18 months... starting with a stroke, then problems with her bowel... and now... A broken hip and elbow. The poor thing. I stayed with her for four hours until her daughter arrived...
So, I get to watch American Idol this morning!
Then... not sure.
Can't visit Myra till at least next week as she isn't having surgery till Monday or Tuesday.
So, maybe after watching me show we will go out and about.... I feel the need to walk on a beach!
ONWARD...
Well we have had a really lovely day! I will show you our lunch:
ABOVE: we went to our favourite pub in Matakana and ordered their 'Matakana Mega Works Burgers'... OMG they are amazing!!!
I took a few more really lovely photos of the beach itself, which I will share with you tomorrow.
On our way home we stopped in for a visit with family friends in Brown's Bay (Auckland) and now I'm waiting for Stewy to cook dinner again! Not expecting or need much after our huge lunch!
PENNY: re your comment yesterday... YOU ARE ON! I would love to meet you.
End of Day: tired tonight. Just watching some programmes on the telly that we missed last night.
DIET: don't ask!
nite nite.
Lucky lady to have you as a neighbour . Lets hope she gets well soon --cottonreel
ReplyDeleteI agree with solomi588....Myra is very lucky to have you as a neighbor. It's good that she was able to at least call for the ambulance. How awful that must have been for her.
ReplyDeleteYour poor neighbour sure has a time of it and she is lucky to have you, And a nice day for a beach walk I have done 2 dinners one breakfast and A MILLION dishes!!! a fun weekend.
ReplyDeleteO Chris, I LONG to walk on the beach with you!That Has to be some of the best "medicine for the soul"!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry about Myra -that really breaks my heart.
I'm glad she was able to call for help! Our neighbour was down for about four hours until her daughter happened to visit... and she was a frail thing and we couldn't have heard her screams. :P scary.
