Oh, I don't wanna scare you any more than you already are. I had a fusion last Jan. c5 , c6 and it hurts worse now than it did before. It failed to fuse and I spend most of my time going to Dr appts and trying to find some relief. I know many people have good luck with the surgery, I was just one of those that didn't.

One thing I do know, once it's done you can't undo it so make sure you've exhausted all other possibilites first. JMO.
And to keep this related to the thread..I've had to rely on hubby, family and friends to help out with all the animals and had to make some difficult decision's on what to cut back on. Have your DH set things up so it's as easy as possible for you to do when you're able cause if you're anything like me he won't be able to take care of them right! LOL!!

This may sound silly, but I think I'm more worried about just that last part there..that my hubby won't take care of them like I like.

sorry to hear that yours didn't work out well..did they check you for Brachial Plexitis? A nerve test should tell. I have that also, but it should take care of itself in time...a long time.

But if your fusion didn't take...all I can say is... EEEK! And sooo sorry!
At least I will still have my girls when I am done with this... I hope! No, I know that he will be doing his best, because he knows how much I care for them. I will be dreaming about my chickens as I come out of the anesthetic.

And again, I hope I don't miss out on a pretty colored egg, but if I come home to a new one in an egg carton, I will know which one laid it! MY Blue!

I know exactly what you mean, the hardest thing for me was learning to let go and accept the help I needed! No easy thing for a control freak

Apparently when I was being wheeled back for my surgery my husband said I mumbled something about letting the dogs out to potty

But I've found that even though no one does it quite like yourself the animals don't seem to mind and they all get along just fine. Best of luck and I hope your surgery goes well and you have a speedy recovery!

Here's a pic of my little Silver pullet from John Blehm. This was taken about 2 months ago. She is now around 30 weeks old and still not laying.

And this is Amelia with my Olive Egger who lays a very dark brown egg.

From now on all my wheaten hens shall be named Slacker.

Maybe you need Blue Wheatens! My little girl started laying about a month ago and has laid an egg almost every day since she started!
