Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Cold-Blood]

Oh no! What happened?

Don't know, probably ate to fast.

 

[Cold-Blood]

I'm sorry for your loss.

As soon as you are up to it, please share what happened so we can all learn.

Probably ate too fast. It was one of the ones that just horked down food.

 

[Ponypoor]

It is proceeding marvelously so far! I'm shocked at how receptive they have been.

They see the others so they know you are a flock mate

 

[Ponypoor]

So sad sorry to hear this

I am so thankful that Rosie does not need anything from me tonight in her show preparations because as of this morning I am out of commission. I cannot stand up straight without crying and when I get into see my doctor in September we will probably have a huge fight. I need a Hysterectomy, have needed one for almost a year and a half. Due to my insurance and the fact that I'm still under 40 it has had to be put off and different options tried. They are not working, I'm miserable and I do not care anymore if I'm not 40. This last option they tried was the final thing before my insurance would approve a hysterectomy. A cyst ruptured this morning and the pain was so bad that I broke out in cold sweats and spent a hour puking. I will drag myself down there to watch her show, but how long I'm able to stay is anyone's guess at this point.

Well, I was going to wait a few more days so I could stand up more of the trusses before posting anything here, or sending pictures to my dad. But the biggest success was actually one of Andrew’s pub co-workers (who is also helping with the haying here), that traded off some truck use for house helping with his nephew (17) with four people all the premade, cut in half trusses were able to be lifted onto the attic flooring in less than two hours. It was hot and we took breaks. DH and I had previously gotten 13 or so up on our own with several “that could have been way worse” injuries, over the course of three days, and needing a rope and a 2x4 poking stick to help lever them up. 4 people in two teams lifting and pulling was awesome. So the best part is circled here in red, because now they are up I can do all the placing and securing solo. This is huge progress even if you can’t really “see” it (yet)! View attachment 3187999
Also I got this as a caller ID show up today! actual incoming phone call…

Oh that is awful. Should you go to the emergency room?

I did 2 years ago when the first one ruptured. They gave pain meds and said as long as I was in no danger of hemorrhaging there was nothing they could do. Unless it gets even more horrendous pain wise I will not take what they suggested. I do not need to be knocked out on the couch for 12 plus hours. I cannot take anything stronger then a prescription motrin and be able to function.

OK. But be sensible. If you are in danger of hemorrhage you need to be seen as an emergency.
Please let us know you are OK.
And good luck to Rosie at the show.

OMG Rebecca you need to go to emerg, you could have an artery bleed from that! Please go to emerg

Rebecca (and please my other US friends) please do not take this the wrong way as I love my neighbours to the south but you are a great nation, and I feel it’s horrible that people have to suffer because their insurance won’t approve it or cover it, or not within the scope of their policy.

It’s when I hear stories like this that I am so glad for our universal health care. Yes Kris and I both whine and complain about our respective provinces health care, but if something needs done it gets done, I have had a few of my family and many friends who required hysterectomies before they were 35 even-and got them.. All I have to do is go to emerg and a whole crap load of test gets done, whether I need them or not — specialist brought in, referrals… I pay $900/yr in taxes for this only because I am in an upper tax bracket, if one makes less than (I think $40k/yr) they pay nothing.

Of course YES we have high income tax and other taxes to pay for this, but for that I am extremely grateful. My father had a dissecting aorta 1 week after arriving home from AZ - we were so thankful he had it here and not the US even if he had his insurance it would still not likely have been enough to cover his intensive care oh I am sure he would have had just as great care as here, as I know you medical personnel are awesome, but the cost would likely have wiped out their savings even with insurance.

I wish everyone of my neighbours to the south could have the worry free healthcare I enjoy, it breaks my heart as a former Nurse hear stories like this. Our system has flaws like every system but it’s always been there when my family needed it No questions asked.

Rebecca please be very careful I am worried about you.

Here is a smile for you - oh darn it’s on my other phone - Curly and I were sharing a bagel (actually she was trying to steal it - then she pooped on my office chair haha!). I will post the pic. Of the bagel stealer not the poop!

I sure hope I haven’t offended anyone (I don’t normally stick my nose into things but as a nurse I feel strongly about some things )
