Kelly, I’ll trade you illnesses. My blood pressure is 189 over 102 at the moment.

I sure hope you are seeing a doctor to fix that. High blood pressure is not to be messed with.

Hey has anyone heard from @Marie2020 ?

Are you around Marie??

 

[BY Bob]

Ya he was an awesome old horse - I cannot to this day think of him though without crying.

And smiling

Crying and smiling is how you know you have made it past the grief to the bittersweet memory stage.

 

[BY Bob]

I do take meds

They may need adjusted.

Now that you mention it, it has been a long time since she was about. I have not heard from her.

I'm not kidding

It really would be priceless, I will be hoping against hope that a broody mood strikes the reigning Queen of FBA!

I got a knee scooter when I went through my non bearing period and omg I don't know how I would have managed without it. If they will not give you one Amazon has them and they often are available on ebay. That and a walker. Crutches are evil devices imho. There are better options! Glad you have a date for your surgery.

We already ordered a knee scooter, should be here tomorrow. It will help a lot, but doesn’t solve the challenge of getting up and down the stairs. Especially with no bannister to hold on to.

Steps into trailer:

I"m so sorry it is taking so long to get it fixed. My one experience with that was by the time the ambulance got to me and got me to the ER, I was told that I did need surgery, but that it was far too swollen to do it then. They booked me out 2 weeks - but at least I had a 'proper/real' cast on it. Do try to be very careful until you get the surgery done. Hopefully the pain levels are tolerable - but I know full well that if there is any movement, it can be unbearable at times.

You will have to have hubby bring you in a 'lap chicken' once you have surgery and are feeling up to it! Maybe you will find that one of your girls enjoys watching TV with you, like Jaffar & Alex, or Branch & Rebecca!!

I have a feeling he will draw the line at bringing a chicken into the trailer. But maybe after my post-surgery visit in a few weeks we can get me into my office building and bring one in for a little while.

Wow - now I have a whole new reason to be scared of horses!
I can't even imagine how a horse could get in a pick-up truck.

In Mexico they frequently haul horses in the back of pickups instead of trailers. I had friends with two horses from Mexico and you had to make sure neither one was nearby when you opened your tailgate or they would hop right in.

I am hanging in there. Thanks to everyone for their kind thoughts.
