Gosh it seems like months and not days since I did a Selfie post. Mom somehow thought that she’d be up and around in days after her hip replacement surgery – HA! If she’d asked for my opinion of course I would have said WEEKS not DAYS. It’s a slow process – the fact she’s not a spring chicken probably has something to do with it. HAHA Seriously though, Mom’s doing very well – we have had a home health nurse and a P.T. therapist here off and on the past several days since Mom got home and they say she’s doing OK. It’s a long process.
SO – even though Mom is SORT OF back – she’s not taking photos so we’re resorting to FLASHBACKS. Sorry about that but I’m sure that will change. Meanwhile we love being in the Hop again and if you’d like to join us, click on the badge above and link up with us. Thanks for our hosts at The Cat On My Head for hosting this great say to say HI to each other on Sundays.
This little gem is probably familiar………………..it’s from January 21, 2018. I know I’ve used it several times on Selfie Sunday but I figure one more time won’t hurt right? I’m lying on a piece of Christmas tissue so I assume since the photo was taken in January of 2018 I was still I LOVE with tissue. I probably should ask for another piece – maybe I could fall in love with it again?? HAHA
I had done this as a puzzle before but I downsized it for you to 99 pieces. Several of you did the puzzle before and your “times” are posted at Jigsaw Planet on this puzzle! Anyway, click the MINI-ME below and you can try try try again!

That’s about it for me………as I said, Mom isn’t up to full-time blogging yet but one of these days we’ll be back in your inbox regularly. Until then, we do miss you all. A LOT!

Thanks – I’m relaxing my “requirements” of myself a little. Considering I’m taking showers on my own, dressing myself, moving AT ALL even with a walker (!) – I guess since it’s only been one week since surgery I’m doing pretty well. I think I’m just too darn hard on myself!!!!!!

Hi Miss Suzanne! Glad you like that belly shot – you know me – I’m kind of “known” for my tum. Thanks for all the vibes and energy – Mom needs it. She’s doing well according to the home health people visiting us but she had WANTED to recover like she was 20 years old and not 74 years old. HAHAHAHA I’m keeping a close eye on her! So is Dad!
Sending you hugs !

Hi Miss Jackie! My Mom made her mind up she was going to be the world champion hip replacement recovery time winner. NOPE. Her hip had other ideas. She is taking her pain meds and behaving again. Dad and I had to sit her down and give her the rules AGAIN. She really did want to get back to things quickly but I think she thought she was 47 not 74. HAHAHA Glad you liked my tummy shot – an oldie but a goodie!

Hello, Teddy and Miss Pam! Nice to see you here once again.
Yup, let your body tell you whats what…then just go with the flow. LOL! Easier said than done, right?? You will get there, trust me, you WILL!
PT can be heavy duty exhausting as well! Pawppy knows all about that kind of stuff, too…but he had to go to the PT office you are blessed to have them come to your place.
Teddy, are you watching what they do, so you can make sure she does all the things correctly after they leave?? You have to be Mr Nurse Kitty AND Kitty Therapist!
Hang n there all of you, we love you and we want touy to heal properly, which cannot be rushed:)
