Reitunfall / Horse riding accident

So schnell kann es gehen! Nachmittags am Freitag "tschüß" gesagt zu meiner Tocher und 1.5 Std. später bekomme ich einen Anruf, dass sie vom Pferd gestürzt ist! Gott sei Dank haben sie sie so liegen lassen, wie sie gestürzt ist und mit einer Decke zugedeckt, bis der Arzt eingetroffen ist und die Lage abgeklärt hat. Daraufhin wurde der örtliche Deutsche Rote Kreuz Krankenwagen gerufen um sie aus dem kalten Sand in den Wagen zu bringen und ein weiterer Krankenwagen aus der nächsten Kleinstadt mit Zementbett gerufen, damit sie sich nicht bewegen kann.
Alle haben klasse angepackt! Überraschung für mich war auch, dass der Freund von meinem Sohn Bereitschaft gehabt hatte und Jasmin mit auf die Trage gelegt hat. Danke an alle!
Im Krankenhaus wurde nach Röntgenbildern und Computertomographie festgestellt, dass sie einen stabilen Lendenwirbelbruch hat. Das einzigst gute daran ist, dass der Bruch in Richtung Bauchraum zeigt und nicht ins Rückenmark, somit müssen wir keine Angst vor einer Lähmung haben.
Da ja am Wochenende nicht viele Ärzte anwesend sind, müssen wir bis morgen zur Besprechung warten, wie der Behandlungsplan aussieht.

Es herrscht das volle Chaos bei uns... heute war Tommi noch auf der Suche nach einem Auto, da unser alter nicht mehr bremst und ich hetze danach ins Krankenhaus. Am Mittwoch fliege ich eigentlich in die USA und habe zu guter letzt auch noch Zahnschmerzen am Wochenende bekommen. Also, volles Programm morgen:
warten bis die Klinik anruft und zur Besprechung fahren, Zahnartz Termin ausmachen, vorsichtshalber alles für den 3-wöchigen USA Trip herrichten. Ich weiß grad gar nicht, wo mein Kopf steht!
Mal sehen wie es weitergeht, ob ich die Reise um ein paar Tage verschieben muss oder nicht.

Well, that can happen so fast! Saying bye, bye  to my daughter on Friday afternoon and 1.5hours later I get a phone call that she had a horse riding accident! It was already dark and cold as I got there. Thank god that they let her lie in the sand, not moving her just putting a blanket over her. The doctor checked her and called the ambulances.

The took some x-ray pics and ct-pics of her spine and found out that she broke one of her lumbar vertebra. Only good thing is, that it is broken in the direction to her tummy and not to the spinal cord (medulla) that would causes a paraplegia. I'm really so thankfull for this!!

Of course it was already weekend and not many doctors were there, so we need to wait for Monday until the doctors have their meetings to see how we go on from there.

It's a real chaos here... I'm supposed to fly to the USA on Wednesday and now two of my teeth started hurting real bad too. So, I need to get an appointment for the dentist tomorrow.... but first waiting for the hospital to call when I can go there to talk with the doctor. Nothing is done for my trip and I even do not know if I can make it or need to delay it for a few days.

Well, I will know more tomorrow.
I guess, only those who have been through similar know how it is.... sitting in the dark and cold next to her, trying to keep cool and to comfort her. You've got so many thoughts of what could be damaged and a lot of fear... I'm so glad that it was not worse!!! Any prayers are very welcome! Thank you!

Juggernaut :(

Ich komme mir echt total veräppelt vor mit dem supertollen raren Glas, welches innerhalb weniger Stunden ausverkauft war. Genau... das Juggernaut. Manche verstehen halt ziemlich gut die Werbetrommel zu rühren. Ich habe ein paar Testperlen davon gedreht auf verschiedenen Basis Perlen und dazu Vergleichsperlen mit Luna2. Das Foto könnt ihr auf meiner Homepage Beadfairy ansehen.

Gestern habe ich noch mit meiner Tocher über den Yahoo messenger gechattet, leider war die Sprachqualität so schlecht und abgehackt, dass wir immer wieder schreiben mussten. Aber es war total schön sie zu sehen! :) Am Donnerstag steht die Heimfahrt wieder an und am Freitag kommen sie in den frühen Morgenstunden an. Ich freue mich schon auf sie, es war jetzt ziemlich still hier :D

I'm feeling kind of fooled about that superduper rare glass Juggernaut what was sold out within a few hours! Some are just great in advertising to make you feel you get something very special. A nice glass, but not so special! I made a few test beads and showed those on my Homepage Beadfairy.

Yesterday I was chatting with my daughter on Yahoo messenger with the cam ...unfortunately you couldn't understand very much as the connection wasn't very good, so we typed a lot. But it was so nice to see her. On Thursday they will drive back home and get here in the early morning of Friday .... I'm looking forward for her...it has been quiet here *lol*

Fühle mich äzend / Just feeling *Blaaah*

Meine Tochter hat mir noch ein schönes Andenken an sie hinterlassen, bevor sie nach Spanien gefahren ist.... ihre Erkältung. Also habe ich jetzt so einen gemeinen Grippevirus mit Stirnhöhlenentzündung...
Am Samstag war mit meiner Schwester ein Essen ausgemacht, welches sie heute aber verschoben hat. Mir solls recht sein, da ich noch nicht weiß wie ich mich bis dahin fühle. Für danach hatte ich noch bei einem kleinen Umtrunk mit meinen Freunden zusgesagt. Mal sehen, wie ich mich bis dahin fühle. Eigentlich sollte ich mich dort blicken lassen, auch wenn es mir nicht so gut gehen sollte, sonst wird wieder gemunkelt, dass ich mich zurückziehe. *hmm*

Well my daughter left here something for me before she went to spain...
her cold :D
So I have it now and feeling awful as I always have very fast problems with my sinuses too.
On the weekend I wanted to go out for dinner with my sister, but she told me today that it doesn't work out. Ok with me and my cold :D
There is a little meeting with my friends too and I wanted to go there after dinner. So, I will see how I'm feeling on Saturday. If I do not show up they might think I don't want to see them. I had some trouble with them about that a few months before :(

Was anderes.... eigentlich mache ich ja lieber Glasperlen als Schmuck zu gestalten. Aber da wir auch Märkte haben, muss das halt auch sein. Dieser Choker hat mir besonders gut gefallen:

Something else.... usually I love to make my beads, more than creating jewelry. But as we run some markets too, I need to make some once in a while. I especially liked this choker:

Have a nice day everyone :)

Spain and Beads Gallery April'09

The kids arrived safe in Spain :)I'm really glad about that. The family where my daughter stays is very friendly and I think she will have a great time there. She mentioned that she wants to go to the beach and swim in the ocean. ....aaaahhhh I want that too :D I love the ocean and miss that. Funny sitting here in the cold (shortly before first snow) and she is there in the warmth :) I hope they have a blast!

Further I wanted to show you a gallery of my beads made in April this year...well, those are not all of them,
but mostly :D

Pupils Exchange Spain / International Frustration Scream Day

My daughter left today for the pupils exchange of her school to Tarragona / Spain. The trip will take approx. 18 hours and I hope they arrive there well.
Yesterday she was going to the stable where she takes care of  Nino, a pony and had a hard time to say "bye bye" for those two weeks she will stay in Spain.

I like to listen to the radio when I'm sitting on my torch and spinning beads :) Well and they mentioned that today is the international frustration scream day ...

Cool.... come scream it out your frustration :D That will make us all feel better ... maybe so :)

Isn't he cute?

My cat Sammy is enjoying the afternoon sun with a nap ...

I love his little brown nose :D

New York Trip 9/10 - 9/13

Hey there...  finally I found some time to load up my pics from the New York trip.
That was a gift for my 40th birthday in June.
That city is really awsome!! I really love the different architectural styles there. That is amazing!
Unfortunately it was raining the first two days and it was very windy ... you could see everywhere broken umbrellas on the streets :D
But anyway... it was a nice trip and we did see a lot in that short time.

You will find the pics on my flickr site right sided.

Pics from my USA visit Jackson, Ms

Well I'm late again on getting some pics online here :D ... always too busy :)

My first USA visit was from the 10th Aug. - 01. Sept. and I really enjoyed that time there. It was very nice :D

My trip started at the airport in Stuttgart with Delta Airlines to Atlanta, Georgia. There I needed to catch the connecting flight to Jackson, Ms.
That was really horrible... the immigration pass control was taking so much time that I almost missed my conn. flight. Hundreds of people were waiting to get through the control and I got really nervous, looking at my watch ... thinking of catching the plane ... well... I made it with some help for travellers with conn. flights. But it was pure chaos there.
Hurrying to get my luggage and recheck, and go through the saftey control again... and the plane was supposed to leave in a few minutes. Hey... :D I can tell you... I was running... yes, running, hoping to catch that plane.... and then the gate changed :( WHAT?? Running back all the way again...taking the train to the other section and finally arrived at the right gate... the screen didn't show that flight anymore, because I was so late.
Hurrying into the plane ... the only one you could see on the airfield.... and recognizing the stewardess saying to the one behind me "Hi, on your way to Cleveland again"? HUH??? Cleveland?? I don't want to go to Cleveland ... omg :D .... someone showed me then that the plane to Jackson was behind the other one... you couldn't see it, and there wasn't any sign or note what final destination what plane has.... oh well, I finally got into the right one .... being logy though as you can think :) What an adventure :D

These pics are made in Canton,Ms :






Some pics of the cats where I stayed .... The first one is Spookey and the second one her brother Chunky (-Monkey) :D



And some pics out of car of the Lake Barnet Reservoir

I'm So Proud :D

Long time since I've been here.... well, time is always short.. I bet you know :D

I've been very proud about my kids lately!

My son did finish the highschool ...better than I thought :) Isn't that nice??!! And in August he
starts his 3 year professional education to be a chef.

My daughter have had her end of term ball from dancing school and she was showing with her cousin what they learned. That was cool :)


Free style dance with their teachers:

Kalt - Cold

Nachdem ja nun endlich die Kältewelle ein Ende hat ist uns blöderweise gestern doch tatsächlich das Heizöl ausgegangen
:( man glaut es ja echt nicht!! Gott sei Dank kam die nächste halbe Stunde gleich Nachschub, so dass es nicht zu kalt wurde!


Heute ist es traumhaft schön mit viel Sonnenschein und ich freue mich darauf, heute Nachmittag nach draußen zu gehen und meine Eltern zu besuchen.


After it was very cold here for the last two weeks, we got yesterday suprised by running out of oil for the heater. Thank god that they delivered very quick although it was already weekend!

It's very beautiful outside today and I take that chance to spend some time outside in the afternoon and visit my parents.
