Yesterday, late afternoon, while shopping with a friend
Down she fell and hurt her bum and this is how it went
She was sitting on her stick, wich is a seat as well
There was a crowd and someone bumped and down my Mommy fell
With her bum she hit the stick as she came down real hard
She lost her purse, her hat and wig, that wasn't the worst part
Some nice guy picked them up and in haste she put them on
Seemed that from her purse a 50 euro bill had gone
But she saw the humor when the man picked up her wig
And was hoping she could sleep because her pain was big
Today she couldn't move at all, not even out of bed
They rang the doc and he came down, this is what he said
I'm calling down the ambulance, to hospital you go
Is it broken or just bruised is all I want to know
Badly bruised the doctors said, she has to stay a while
Even then, rememb'ring wigs, she could produce a smile
She can't move, from pain that is and they will make a scan
I will visit her every day or as often as I can

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think it will please her very much to hear a comforting word from her PIP friends.
I'll print it and read it to her.
Isn't it a shame somebody took a 50 euro bill ($67) out of her purse when she was down???!!!
How low can people get.
She's getting her bone scan next Wednesday and I'll let you know how she's doing.
Thanks

Honey, tell Mum I know JUST how she feels!  I slipped on ice last week and my feet saw the sky...and although just a few days younger than Mum...I too had to see a doctor [chiropractor] to have him put me into shape...

But it's still not quite the shape I need!  Or Want!

Tell that to Mum...

and tell her please...with the exception of her having just a couple of days on me?  I know EXACTLY how she feels!

Mummy Muys...knuffles!

let her know I'm thinking of her, and that she should let people know she has an owie...and would they like to kiss it and make it better?! nooooo, I'm just kidding...

I'm very sorry she got hurt and that someone would be so horrible as to steal from her! That is rotten! I hope she feels better soon!

Titia, I am very sorry about your Mother's fall and hope that she heals  soon and feels better each moment that passes.

Sometimes it amazes me how selfish some humans can be...the person that took her money must have no conscience.

hugs to you both,
Maureen

Muys~
Darling ... I am not happy at this situation ... you get all better and I'll put a hex on the bad guy that took your $$$~
How rotten can one get ?

Sweetie ... Delaney is wearing a sad face
after I told her what happened to you ... she said for me to tell you that she LOVES YOU ... and that she will tell Landry that you love her too !

Love to you dearest friend ... hoping our messaage cheers you up a little ... you're a tough cookie ... you'll be fine ... I just KNOW IT !

I'm so sorry to hear this, Titia. Mama Muys has been such an inspiration to all of us for so long. It's sad to think of anything bad happening to her. May the fellow who stole her money buy a big bratwurst with it and choke to death!!

Get well, Muys, and come back to entertain us with you unique style of writing that captivates our hearts.

I am so sorry to hear of your accident and sincerely hope you will be up and riding that bike again really soon.  Shame on that thief!  Take care now and mend soon.

Muys, Had to to laugh at Titia's way of telling of your fall.Because it reminded me of the day I fell on the ice while going to feed my Scruffy. Scruffy was a large English Sheep dog,so gentle and sweet. I fell down hard right on my "bum" too. Hurt too.But I said out loud  s--t! Poor Scruffy, who followed comands, thought he heard SIT and down he sat beside me.I had to laugh then and Titia's story  brought it back to me.
I do hope all is well. We are all pulling for you. love marty

Titia, I'm sorry to hear about the accident.  Though the poem was funny, I know the pain isn't.  Hope she's feeling better.

First thing Mommy Muys said:

"Oh dear, oh dear, did you really tell them I wear a wig???"

I said, "Yes, why not, it's the only thing that made you laugh after falling down".

And then she started reading all your lovely and comforting words and I didn't hear a sound for a long time.
She's still in much pain, we don't have the results yet from the scan, maybe tomorrow.
She's sending hugs and knuffels to all of you.

Thanks for taking the time to comfort her.

Dear Muys and Titia:

I'm sorry to hear about this accident and also about the dishonest person who took money from Muys purse.  What a rotten thing to have happen all the way around.

There are many people praying for you and hoping for a good report after your scan.

Love

I sure hope things are ok for her...I feel so bad that she got hurt. It doesn't matter if she wears a wig! That is the least important thing...her being ok and not hurting is all that matters.
