Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

I am so sorry about the dental issues. Trust me, I know it is no fun and dealing with insurances and finding a dentist to take your insurance is a struggle. Please take care of yourself. A few months ago while waiting for that broken tooth to be pulled I tried everything, including some home remedies. Clove oil works and works well. If you do not have that you can take some soft butter and put ground clove in it and rub it on the affected area. It will burn for a minute but give some much needed relief afterwards for some time. I also resorted to holding some whiskey on the affected tooth a time or two. Also very effective, you just have to be careful while doing that one.

Jack Daniels and some cloves - sounds tasty.


Tasty tax

I thought I was ready to wean myself off the strong painkillers. I took my last pill around 11 last night. I should have set a alarm for 5 am this morning. I did not, I slept through it and did not wake up until 8. I will say that was a horrible decision, and no I am not ready. I woke up hurting so bad that it made me sick and I can feel every heartbeat in my arm. I have a pretty high pain tolerance, and my shoulder has hurt pretty much non-stop for 2 years. This.....this is different let me tell you.

Oh no! I am so sorry to hear this.

Also - you need to wean yourself off those meds or you can have rebound pain. Maybe try extending your time by half an hr throughout the day.

Or I your able to cut the tablet into quarters….

How long did she sit the eggs?

Maybe overnight? She didn't want them, they were scattered around the nest
