I'm sorry to say there won't be any photos today from the MB Farmer's Market. [View all]

Late Friday afternoon, I fell hard in our powder room, against the toilet bowl. It knocked me so hard that I couldn't breathe for a few seconds. And then, due to the tight space, I couldn't get up. We called the paramedics and they did a 'courtesy lift.'

Nothing's broken but the pain has been pretty bad. Muscle spasms, which I've never had before, are the worst. I am in touch with my doctor who basically agreed with my plan for care. The medications, and other treatments are helping to some extent. It's been tough. Going anywhere and walking around are difficult.

So I'm taking it easy and that means no market. I'm really sorry. And all of this could have been avoided if only I hadn't been in a hurry! Oh well. I will heal. Life will go on.

On edit: I've been reading and re-reading all of your beautiful, loving and supportive posts! My heart is full. You are my DU family and DU is my electronic home. It's hard for me to answer everyone, so this group message will have to do.

I love you all! And thank you all for standing by me.
