Dawn Ford – Back After Accident – Rehab in Cornwall Ontario Seniors Situation Room by Dawn Ford

NOVEMBER 19, 2023 – It has been awhile since I wrote a column. In early April I had an accident and after a stay in the Cornwall Community Hospital, I spent several months in St. Joseph’s Continuing Care Rehab Unit. The staff at both CCH and the Rehab Unit were caring and supportive. I am grateful for all their wonderful help. Thank you all so much.

I am also very grateful for the Phillips Lifeline I was wearing at the time of the accident. They helped me right away and sent the paramedics. It is a lifeline for sure.

A snowbird relative in Florida sent me this photo of a Silver Bismarck palm tree. I have seen many palm trees but I don’t remember seeing one quite like this one. Would be fun to paint for sure.

Limericks are fun:

“An elephant slept in his bunk,

And in slumber his chest rose and sunk.

He snored- how he snored!

All the other beasts roared

So his wife tied a knot in his trunk.”

A friend sent me this photo of a Friendly Cornwall sign. Another told me that it is probably about 1950 by the looks of the older car.

A few cute jokes from a friend:

1) Why was Cinderella so bad at soccer?

She kept running away from the ball.

2) I ordered a chicken and an egg on-line.

I’ll let you know which comes first.

3) Why can’t you trust the King of the jungle?

Because he keeps Lion.

Have a good week, Dawn.
