Join Me in Sending Valentine’s Day Get-Well Wishes to Debbie Walker

Sending out this post as a Funny Valentine get-well card

Happy Valentine’s Day, Debbie!

You may not get this today, and that’s okay.

But I’m publishing it just for you on Valentine’s Day.

Not just the cards, candy, and flowers day, but the day you get a new hip. So let’s all say, hip, hip, hooray!

We’re holding you in our prayers for a thorough recovery–-which is much more important than a speedy one. We spoke earlier today about the value of going to Rehabilitation for however long it’s offered.

Not only would you have easy access to physical and occupational therapy, you’d get a break from all the demands on you at home. And you sure deserve that break!

Raising your grandkids can be exhausting.

Take this opportunity to rest if you can.

Hip, hip, hooray!

Laughter is the best medicine.

Norman Cousins knew that from personal experience.

A severe and painful connective tissue disease put him flat on his back in a New York City hospital. Watching Marx Brothers movies and Candid Camera reruns from his bed eased the intense pain. Ten minutes of belly laughing gave him two pain-free hours.

So let humor be part of your medicine, too, Debbie.

While it may be addictive, there are only good side effects.

For your viewing and recovering pleasure, here you go:

First up, a menopausal take on the Queen Classic, Bohemian Rhapsody:

Next up, this fun video from Donnalou Stevens called Older Ladies:

If I remember right, you’re a Star Trek fan.

But even if you’re not, this Carol Burnett spoof will make you smile:

And finally, since it is, after all, Valentine’s Day, we have to close with a love song. This one’s live and especially for you.

From all of us at Middle-Pause…

We love you, Debbie!

XOXO

An update:

I just spoke to a very groggy Debbie.

Yes, she’s sore, and she’s got her new hip! Hip, hip, hooray!

She’ll be going to a rehabilitation facility before going home. Yay! She’ll get therapy and a break from home responsibilities, so maybe more rest.

Let’s keep the prayers and well-wishes going for Debbie!

We love you, Sis!
