It started snowing on Thursday right after Cinnamon and Mom got home from their Morning walk. It was not cold so the snow was heavy and wet. And mushed down. Mom shovelled the driveway and sidewalk at Noon, 4:30 PM and 8:30 PM (Cinnamon did not get a second walk but she DID romp in the snow and chase her ball while Mom shovelled).
This Morning it was not snowing and the sun was starting to shine. Only about another inch had fallen, so Mom shovelled the sidewalk and the driveway down to the street. She stuck the shovel in the snow pile and headed off up the unplowed street. The street was really icy. After only walking past the next door neighbor's house Mom fell and her leg got bent backwatds under her and hyper extended her knee. Bruised her hip and her shoulder . She got into the house and put on ice and elevated her leg. Her knee turned into a melon! She spent the afternoon doing RICE (rest, ice, compression,elevate) and did a little work for tomorrow (Mom is the online tech support for a Zoom session an organization she belongs to has, Mom is in charge of all the breakout rooms). So between her moaning and whining and staggering around the house on old crutches we did NOT get to visit our online furrends (We have still missed some still from Thursday and Today!)
We are going to make sure that Mom visits on Sunday!
We did have a lovely piece of art we did of Jo Jo that we created last week!
It was from this Photo
And this is what we turned her pawtrait into! I LOVE the colors.
We also made it into a puzzle!
We are also pawticipating at Athena & Marie's Artsy Caturday. Please click on their button to be taken to Caturday Art Central! From there you can go and see more of Marie's terrific art of Athena!
Oh my, that sounds very nasty in deed. Hopefully the staff will be feeling less inflamed and sore tomorrow. Till then, restup and keep each other cosy and well fed and watered.

ReplyDeleteHaving recently had a similar fall (in the forecourt of a fuel station, oil slick on wet concrete = ice by another name!) I have every sympawthee with mama! So don't be too hard on her for not visiting blogs. That is a gawjuss piece of artwork of JoJo. Hugswagswhiskeries, YAM-aunty xxx
Oh no - this sounds like a really nasty fall. We hope that you are back to 100% soon. Your artsy photo is so colorful and beautiful, Jo Jo!
ReplyDeleteYour poor mum! I hope she soon recovers from her injuries. If she can get Arnica gel, not the human sort that is a waste of time but the big pots for horses, it is very good for bringing out bruises and very soothing.
ReplyDeleteThe art is lovely, and thanks for the puzzle.
Jo Jo you are simply glamorous with or without the artwork what a beautiful picture. We are so sorry your mom has hurt her leg so badly. What a nasty snowfall so quickly and so deep. Makes me sorry I complained about the inter to that I had. We are so glad that all four of you furry Pals do not stray far from home. Tell your mom to take care of that leg and will look for you later. Lynn and Precious
ReplyDeleteThanks! We are taking care of Mom! She has thumbs and opens the cans and scoops our poop. We have to make sure she gets better.
DeleteOh noes. Oh snows. Oh dear.
ReplyDeleteJUNE just sent an EMAIL to MARV.
Jo Jo, you truly look especially gorgeous in your portrait. The color one is also lovely, but the first one, I will admit, is my fave Tell your Mom I feel super sorry about what happend. I had a similar incident several years ago and I had to live with that for weeks. Very painful. I wonder if one of the so-called Farm Stores in your area would carry the arnica gel that Jackie mentioned?
ReplyDeleteOMCs and now your view changes to the frozen tundra. I love your portrait.
ReplyDeleteHugs Cecilia
Yikes on the snow! We sure hope your Mom is feeling better soon, that's awful. Hey Jo Jo, that's a beautiful photo and cool art!

I am glad she is able to move around and take care of all of you. the photo of you Jo Jo is MAGNIFICENT and the art is beautiful... prayers for a quick recovery and that the knee shrinks to normal soon... i say don't worry about any post you missed, just go forward ... when you can.
ReplyDeleteWe are just a little bit jealous of all your snow. It's been too warm for any snow to stick around here. Our paws are crossed that your mom feels better soon. That sounded like a nasty fall.
ReplyDeleteOh no! We're sorry to hear your mom got hurt like that. We are sending love and purrs of healing.
ReplyDeleteJo Jo, your photo and art are beautiful, just like you!

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous photo and art...but we are SO sorry your mom is hurt! Sending purrs for a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful art and thanx for the puzzle. Hope your mom didn't tear her ACL in her knee. That's painful. She needs YakTrax. They're great and we don't even get that much snow. Sending healing purrz.
ReplyDeleteShe's got the spikes for the boots. These were new boots that are "supposed" to be extra grippy and good to -40 (same C&F). They lied. Mom has put the spikes on her new grippy boots for her next trip outdoors.
DeleteWe're sorry to hear your mom got hurt. But you have a LOT of snow! We've only had a few little snow showers so far and no accumulation here in WNY. That kitty cat artwork is amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteYour poor mom. I hope she feels better soon. Beautiful art. Thank you for the puzzle. XO
ReplyDeleteLove the art, hate what happened to your mom!
ReplyDeleteShe has amnesty from having to read back on anything of mine she has missed, and i will be praying for speedy healing.
we pray you mom heals quickly
ReplyDeleteGorgeous art, and we're so sorry your mom slipped on the ice, OUCH! We hope she's better soon and send oodles of healing purrs.
ReplyDeleteOh no!!! Poor Mom!!!! Ice can be treacherous. We hope she recovers well and takes it easy in the meantime. Mom wears Yak-Traks on her feet if there is any sign of ice out there. They help a lot.
ReplyDeleteYour artwork is gorgeous.
