Did you hear what uncle Alex said Princess he's taking our love boat to the KFC.
You hide under me Tina while mum kicks his butt in

Thank you so much Bybob and everyone for your kind words. Yes I would love to, it will help me realize she's gone. When I've stopped blubbering like a babe .

Whenever you want could be weeks from now. I truly understand. We all do.

HI everyone, sorry I've been absent for a few days. It has been tough managing her pain level without making her sick. She is apparently just like me and cannot take anything stronger then Motrin or Tylenol. They only wanted her on the stronger pain meds for 3 days anyway so today I'm cutting them out and seeing how she handles with just extra-strength Tylenol. She had a nerve block that was supposed to last 24-48 hours to hopefully help her through the worst of it post surgery. Yeah, it lasted about 12 hours. On the plus side after it wore off and she could feel that arm again she has already regained some range of motion. I did not have her test out just how much though as she is supposed to keep it in the sling and not move it until she goes back in 2 weeks to have her suture's removed. I will say it is a plus having a sibling in the medical field. I never got to speak to the Dr after the surgery like I was supposed to. As soon as Rosie was finished he had a emergency and had to go right into another operation. My sister is a x-ray tech, and so is her boyfriend. My sister was the one who done her initial x-rays Sunday morning. Her boyfriend was the tech in the OR that did her x-rays. Thanks to them I know she had a 6 inch plate put in with 4 screws. Rosie is also very very lucky. I did learn that the displacement of her collar bone came very close to one of the main veins in her neck. I was also told that if it had went a inch in the other direction it would have punctured her lung. Trust me, that was not something I was prepared to hear. I also think I will have a struggle keeping her from overdoing it as soon as she starts feeling better. I thought she was sleeping yesterday afternoon so I was cleaning. I had the vacuum running so did not see or hear her get up. Go to check on her, she is not in bed. I find her outside in Russ's stall sitting on a milk crate talking to him. Keeping her off of him for 2 to 3 moths is going to be tough. If it comes down to it, I will board him somewhere else for that time frame.

I'm so glad the surgery was a success. I expected she would be a handful. Good luck.

Everyone is sneezing? How often?

Ok so no one sneezing or coughing (except sally and me) everyone doing normal chicken things.

These critters are going to give me grey hair!

My apologies for missing your loss Manue
Words are lost on me right now but my heart feels your pain.

These little battery girls really enjoy their short time. Thank you for giving her the life she had with you ❤. I'm sure she enjoyed every moment of freedom and the love she had from you

So that's explained it, it's all these chickens fault, that's why I have grey hair

Maybe I'll have a purple rinse

Sending healing thoughts. Thank goodness that damage didn't penetrate the lung.

She passed. I'm thankful she was unconscious most of the time and I hope she finds the Cherry tree that bears cherries forever.
