Hi Helen,
I didn't know about this! Good Grief!
Thanks for letting me know this way. I will definitely be praying for her.
I haven't been on Fanstory hardly at all since losing the Christmas Story contest without so much as an honorable mention. Sad, eh? You'd think I could handle defeat after all the defeats I've had. But my muse vacated the premises very quickly after that. I haven't seen him at all. He's on a lounger on some tropical beach, white sand and a fruity drink. I don't know where he gets the money!
Poor Judi. Did she break any bones, or is it muscle tear? We don't have any snow here, and very little ice. There are a couple of spots I have to watch out for on the Grand Bay Trail, but really, it's been so great to be able to walk the trail this time of year. I've got 17 miles in already.
I enjoyed this new form, the Scallop! (I love sauteed scallops!!!)
I must try it.
I did notice one line has 5 syllables instead of six...
"leave us stressed and flat" ... 5
(You could add "so",
leave us so stressed and flat)
Do you know Judi's address? I'd be happy to send her a "Get Well" card. For now, though, I could send her that Seinfeld song. Elaine and her co-workers made it up.
"Get Well,
Get Well Soon,
We want you to get well!"

A fall is no laughing matter, but we do want Judi back at Fanstory ASAP!
Hugs,
Kimbob

    Kimbob! Glad you're okay. Was going to email you because you got Sally and me worried because of your absence. Anyway, the good news is that Judi said she didn't break any bones. But it must have been pretty hard a fall because I haven't heard from her since. I can give you her address but it's pretty expensive to send mail from Canada. Great job with your walking! Hugs and blessings!

    Hi Helen,
    Yes, please do give me her address, and I'll send her a card. She doesn't have her hubby anymore, so a card might help her "Get Back" (as Paul McCartney would say).
    Hugs,
    Kimbob

Holy moly. This post got past me for a few days.
Wow, I'm sorry to hear about Judi and her fall.

How is she doing? You mention rehab... physical therapy as well? I'm sorry to hear this!

Your poem was explicit and shows the love she deserves.

Give her my best!
John

What a terrible way to spend the holidays. I hope Judiverse is on the mend and will be back to normal soon. Seems like we've a sudden rash of illness and accidents around here. I hope everyone can put the bad times behind in the New Year. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you for caring, Ric! I still haven't heard from her so I'm getting a little worried.

Judiverse will be okay, Helen. She may have hurt her tailbone, let's just hope she didn't break anything. Your Scallop poem is good, but you have 5 syllable in the first stanza. You take care and God bless. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you, Jose! She didn't break anything but I think she's 81 so it's not easy to recover from a fall at that age. Hugs!

Hello Helen,
thanks for the head's up. I'm behind on my reviewing so I'm just now seeing this. I believe I have her address, so I'll send her a card tomorrow. Falls can be so dangerous as we age. Obviously it was bad enough to send her to the hospital. Thanks for keeping your finger on the pulse of so many on this site gal. You're a gem.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

For some reason, I am just now seeing this. I will definitely pray for Judiverse. You did a great job of reaching out for prayers with this creative poem. Best wishes to you and Judiverse.

Never heard of Scallop poems.

Poor judiverse. She participates in one of my clubs and she is always kind to me. I will pray for her too.

Well done, big sister. I like the poem and presentation.

Thanks for the news about Judiverse. I know I am a little late in getting to the party, but be assured she is in my prayers. You poem is interestingly written. I had never heard of The Scallop, but found it easy to follow and pleasant to read. ann

    Thank you so much, Ann!
    I'm sending her a card and hope someone will get it to her. I guess a niece must have taken her laptop to her.
    Hugs!

I am so sorry to hear Judiverse fell and had to be hospitalized. Something must have broken. Thank you for using this form of poetry to notify us and request prayer. My prayers for successful therapy and a speedy recovery are with her.

    Thank you for your prayers for her, Lorraine. I'm a bit overwhelmed as so many of our fellow writers have had such a terrible time the last two weeks. Hugs!

I was worried about Judy. I have missed her posts and didn't know what was going on, but I was praying for her. I will continue to pray now more exact. You have done a service letting us know about Judy. Thank you for sharing.

    Thank you for caring for Judi and praying for her even before you knew why! I'm sure you have her address. I was going to send her a card. Her birthday is in a few weeks. Now I need a cheer up card first. Hugs!

    I don't have her address. I would have to have it.
