I spoke with her a little while ago - she did get pretty banged up but is feeling better. She hasn;t been on the CF jsut because she has been so busy with election day and a church function that she is baking 12 dozen cookies for! She will be back as soon as she can catch her breath and thanked you for asking.

Thanks for reporting back to us Alexa.

I'm glad to hear Ruthanna is back in action, doing some of her usual volunteering and community activities. That tells me she is recovering from the injuries.

My mom had a fall recently which, at her age, is a dangerous thing. It caused a compression fracture of a vertebrae. She was given a procedure which involved repositioning the bone with a balloon and glueing the vertebrae. It was highly successful and her pain was relieved immediately. Whew!!!!

Oh good, I didn't post to this because I wanted to leave it at the top until someone answered about Ruthanna. I'm glad she's feeling better and back to her baking.

Jim, I'm also happy to hear your Mom is doing well, a fall can indeed be a dangerous thing. The doctors sure do some amazing things anymore, don't they?

Annie

Yes, I heard from her. She sent me a close-up of her banged up eye. What a shiner! Hopefully it is on the mend now. Her sense of humor remains undamaged!

Thanks for the update!!

Ruthanna....hope your feeling better!!

Cheers!
Susie

Feel better Ruthanna!

Thanks for thinking of me. When I get jammed up on activities, it seems like computer time is the first one to get bumped.

I thoroughly enjoyed my first CF get-together and meeting some of the people whose posts IâÂÂve read and recipes IâÂÂve tried all these years.

Now that the election and our churchâÂÂs annual CraftFest is finished, I can get back to catching up on the CF. One thing I wonâÂÂt be doing for a while is baking. We made 50+ Dutch apple pies last Thursday and that was just one of many cooking and baking days at home and at church.

Glad to hear you are back in action after that fall, Ruthanna! I so enjoyed meeting you in Philly!

Hi Ruthanna. Nice to hear from you. 50 pies? I would never want to see a pie again (that's a joke).
