I would NOT want to faint in a chicken coop! - Page 11

Oh Man R-granny!  Hope everything has healed okay?!  Wow.  I wooda never even thot about this...

I usually wear my crocs cuz they're so hose-able.  The girls try to get my toes but can't quite make enough contact to hurt (12 weeks), but the silver toe ring is definitely a target!

I'm often in my sweats first thing in the morning, and they try to get every 'bolley' they can (the little pills that form on fleece).  I don't even get how they see 'em, but from the knees down, my sweats are pristine, lol!

Had one try to grab a little diamond stud outta my earlobe.  THAT hurt a tad.  And they way they look at eyeballs is scarey!

Hmmm.  Gonna hafeta start watching these little dinosaurs a little closer...

Sorry, I missed this!  Hi and Someone else has answered this, but yes, it is an EE.  She is turning out to be a beautiful chicken!  EE's are great fun and have wonderful personalities. Congrats on your little ones.

I crawled, in the pouring rain, to the back door, found my cell phone, which I pulled off the table by the charger cord, and to a chair, where I was able to pull myself up and drape myself over the seat of the chair.  I called DH, who was over an hour away, and told him he needed to come home NOW because I was hurt and needed to go to the ER.  I just stayed there, as still as possible until he got home.  I was covered in mud and other stuff.  He gingerly helped me up and into the car and drove me, carefully to the ER.

They did a procedure where they inject "bone glue" into the fracture and I did therapy for several months to strengthen my back.  I still have to be very careful and wear a back brace when I do yard work and clean the coops.  The fracture was at T-12, which is just about where your spine bends when you bend over to do things.  Dr. said I was lucky.

Oh my goodness!  I'm so thankful things turned out at least kind of ok!  Bless u!

I am one of those folks who is determined to NOT let anything slow me down!  DH calls it hardheadedness!

I suffer from a bad case of hardheadedness as well.. drives my husband nuts
but i refuse to lay down, roll over and give up... just not in my nature...
