Nothing matters tonight! I have my sweet Bobo in with me. She sings me to sleep sometimes. She’s an armpit warrior in training. And a very lovely hen.

What do I say to that?If I get them yes I will pick them up on the way home in April - all assuming they have any chicks at the hatcheries.
It will mean I will have to drive through northern Ontario back home - a route I vowed never to drive again.... I would like to go home through the US. Not some wilderness mountainous crappy dangerous roads.
But if I must then I must - I am being enabled by someone - yes you know who you are! Putting thoughts of Silver Spangled Babies in my head... tsk tsk tsk....
Hey!!! Welcome homeGlad you took this step. Hope this helps you focus on your physical and mental wellbeing for awhile.
Made it home. They say surgery went well. Have a metal plate on one bone and screws in both of them. Have a nerve block pump for three days to help control pain. Doctor also sent prescription for pain meds to a different pharmacy where they charged less than $5 without going through insurance. And I have a calf wrap that inflates to go on my other leg for several days to prevent blood clots. It is much smaller than ones I have had in hospital in the past, rechargeable and no tubes.
Awwww so happy she is with youNothing matters tonight! I have my sweet Bobo in with me. She sings me to sleep sometimes. She’s an armpit warrior in training. And a very lovely hen.
Ummm I don't know - maybe - 'are you crazy Kelly? who is this person enabling you?'What do I say to that?
I was just about to go in search of an updates when I saw she had posted - I am so happy for her!So glad all went well and that you were able to check in with us to put our minds at rest.
Good news on the pain meds.
And they have spots and speckles - What's not to love, eh?!Valarie, I absolutely LOVE this video!!! And it gives me hope that I can have a rooster someday and still maintain a close relationship with my hens.
I choose to say nothing about it!Ummm I don't know - maybe - 'are you crazy Kelly? who is this person enabling you?'
And I would have to say that I really can't say: maybe RC or RM or RB or Bob would know - or even @Kris5902 might know....
Hmmm - had roast beast and veggies for supper - I think it was even better than a SnickersHere’s the protein you peeps need. But not for the chooks:View attachment 3392004
Yes I will move my other leg and arms regularly. He also told me to lift my injured leg up and down, bend my knee several times and wiggle my toes regularly. That will have to wait until the nerve block decreases, can’t even feel or move my toes right now.Hey!!! Welcome home
So glad you are home - hope the weather held for you - oh I am so happy you got your surgery - and I am egg-static that you have a script for pain meds - I am right giddy for you!
Please make sure (on your GOOD leg haha) that you do some ankle rotations and move your foot around and knee bends etc to ensure that your circulation is ok. Also don't forget your arms while you're at it - people forget that they have arms! I know that you have the calf wrap - but movement is still required.
Now - also make sure that you are drinking lots of fluids, and take a calcium supplement with Vitamin D. Also - bran cereal would be a good idea as pain meds can be very binding (if you catch my drift! ).
Oh I am so pleased you finally had your surgery - one step closer to being back with your babies
