That was my first fall after getting chickens. I need to write down all the others as a trip down the trip ups. Several more since including a face plant on cement and a twist and shout on cement.

Yeah no sense going in until it is likely infected and won't seal up well

Yes being diabetic doesn't help also, that's why I went in.

No it doesn't and that's another reason why you need to take care of yourself

It's a little to early to start a T-Minus count down but we are almost ready to be not only able to hatch and raise our on meat type birds but also process them speedily ourselves. No more factory farmed chicken at our table.

I have cones for taking the heads off and a really mean pipe cutter to do the trick fast.
Propane two burner keep water boiling skin them is easier than plucking.
We do not do allot still have to work up to it now.

It's all by the coffee pot so brew a cup or glass of Iced Coffee. I don't know if Y'all want to sit on the patio this morning seeing how it's 48 outside right now.

Morning. I’m on my second cup of caffeine. First was a mug of sugar-laden powdered cappuccino, now a mug of hi-caf tea. I’ve been awake since 2:30 when I woke up with sinus pressure, a runny nose and sneezing. No other symptoms, so pretty sure it’s allergies. By the time I realized I should take some ibuprofen and Sudafed, my brain was wide awake and going, “Hey! As long as you’re up, let’s talk!” Oh well. It’s Friday and I can sleep in tomorrow.

Have a great day, everyone!

Good for you! I want to get to this point some day. Maybe once the house is finally done and I can live like normal people.

Good morning Cafe.

I'm still working myself up to getting the second bathroom ready for the washer/dryer unit install either tomorrow or Sunday. I should be able to get the work done in about 8 hours but I also still have to run the dogs, pick up dog food (1.25 hr round trip) and get some tar paper from the guy that bought dad's house. I only need 12 sq ft so I don't want to have to buy a 216 sq ft roll.

I finally got a chance to visit DH yesterday after not seeing him for over 3 weeks. IMO, his neck is permanently stuck at a right angle with his chin toward his chest. PT signed off on him because "he doesn't follow instruction". No kidding. I fail to see how that is stopping them from giving him therapeutic massage and muscle relaxers but they just won't.

He did seem happy tapping his feet and hands along with the music he was listening to. Even said a couple of words of lyrics which I thought was amazing. How do you forget everything else in your life but you can remember the lyrics to a song?

He ate extremely well for me and this coming on the heels of the last "report" from the floor nurse that he was not eating much. If you take the time to feed him small bites, he can eat all of it. They don't want to have to sit there and do it.
