EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

Hi! What are you up to today?
I'm trying to catch up what I missed here...lol. Chores. And then we're off to rent items from the assisted living store in the city help facilitate my MIL when she gets back home from the hospital. She needs 5-6 things; a walker with two wheels, a raised toilet seat, a safety seat for the bathtub, a pickup tool, a shoehorn and something else I don't remember. We have the papers in the truck...lol. This is so she doesn't have to strain her hip. She's surprised how weak her muscles are after the surgery. That's my day today...lol. Oooh...and I've GOT to get a hatchet. I have some roosters to process.;)

How about you?
 
Good morning Mike!

Good morning everybody! It's hard to believe I really haven't been on since the beginning of December, other than the few birthdays. Wowsers.

I skimmed to catch up. Hopefully, I didn't miss much. A lot of crazy weather everywhere it looks like. And lots of snow. We have almost no snow here. And it's been above freezing here for the last few days. I think this week is only supposed to be down to -7C in the day. It's been beautiful after that terrible cold at Christmas.


Things have been interesting.:gig

Hubby presented with a large blood clot (over an inch) in his superior mesenteric artery (abdominal area) in the beginning of December. He was VERY fortunate, we got him to the ER and caught it before it did any major damage. He's still alive...lol. He was in the hospital for that week. He's on blood thinners and we've been to appointments and seen more doctors than we care to see...lol. We're still awaiting a further test on whether he is showing a false positive or a blockage in his heart. I'm trying to keep him from doing things where he can end up bleeding to death. :smackI've learned more about clotting factors etc. And who knew Merck's had a people version; both professional and non-professional!

So most of December seemed to be eaten up with all that excitement. I cut the tip off my finger making the Christmas meal. :rolleyes: So that put a damper on much of the stuff I needed to get done after Christmas. It still has pain, but it's healed up for the most part. I don't think my fingerprints are there like they were! :eek: I got way behind on some on some parts of BYC.

We've also shipped our calves and vaccinated both the cows and the replacement heifers. We're trying to get our farming inputs booked for this coming year before the prices go up. And the lack of snow cover may have killed the fall crop we planted.

Dh's mother presented with a possible DVT (deep vein thrombosis) and we took her to emergency and for tests. This week she tripped and broke her hip. Thankfully she required only partial replacement. She's been transferred back to the local hospital. We may have to head to the city to obtain appropriate items to help with her mobility.

But hopefully, I can keep up with the few threads I follow.
I've missed chatting with everyone. :frow
Hopefully, things can stay calm for a while.:fl :th
