Ok, got to vent. I am so beyond upset and mad right now. As a few of you know, my mom had knee replacement surgery on Monday. I haven't talked to her in 2 days because they keep moving her to different rooms which is ticking me off. But then I found out a few hours ago from my dad that they are moving her to a nursing home. A freaking nursing home!!! My dad can't get time off to care for her and they live in freaking Tennessee where no one else in the family lives (thanks dad) so since no one will be with her while he works they are putting her in a nursing home. I am so upset. She's got to be feeling so alone and depressed right now with no one with her. It was just terrible when I went through it and now I'm having to deal with the fact that she's going through the same da** thing and there is literally nothing I can do about it. And dad has basically said he needs help, but I can't help. This is all a freaking snafu beyond belief.

Lot's of people go to nursing homes for rehab after surgery. There are good and bad nursing homes.
I'm sure you could call the facility to talk to her on the phone to see how she is doing.

Will say a prayer for your mom.

Meanwhile keep your chin up and stay strong for her.

I'm sorry. Make sure you keep contact, and let her know that it's temporary. Make sure she keeps eating, you'd be surprised at how young we get them sometimes. The biggest thing is knowing all hope's not lost, so they participate in the therapy and get better!

Thanks. I just had to vent. There's more to it, but I didn't want everyone thinking I was writing a book. It really makes me upset because it didn't have to be this way. Beyond that, I definitely will be checking in on her daily. DH said that despite how upset it makes me at least we know she's going to be in a place where she can get help until she can get around herself. Which is true. Better in a care facility than home alone should something happen.

Fuzzy, would like to leave about 8 am here if I take the jeep. the jeep doesn't like going more than 55 or so, so, the hour drive turns into half an hour. LOL 8:30 the latest.

Sorry it took so long to get back today. I had me a nice gall bladder attack. I felt it coming on and started the ACV chugging then ate me a grafefuit. Laid in bed for 3 hours or so rocking and then finally, puked. Oh man... Now I am good. LOL.

I also am down a cockerel today, so, that is one less that I am bringing with me to chickenstock. The only one going now is the one for Silly, the faverolle boy thats left. So... Taking 1 fav, 6 long tails and Robins Polish. I am only coming home with silkies... only silkies... only silkies... LOL Unless I am coming home with Mr. Feathers... Oh... man... if I am, I am going to have to get that guy back who wanted to buy Florus so bad today. LOL. he bought one of Florus's sons instead. His chickens are only 2 months old, I don't think a full grown roo with 2 month old hens is a good thing. Instead he got a 12 week old cockerel. I offered him a mutt hen to go with him, so he's not alone, but he said he's got 65-2 month old birds... WOW. Hope the cockerel is ok...

Tee, my mom ended up in a care facility for rehab after her accident. It was a nice thing too, there is so much more care that she can get and as long as you are keeping in daily contact, you will KNOW if there is anything wrong. Sorry she had to go though.

sorry nova. i was too run down. Realistically i don't need more birds, though, and everyone i want to hang out with is HERE; there's always later and we can have that potluck/ tea party thingy then. I wanted to at least take the car though, save you some issue! :/

How's your mom, tee? I've been in some really nice nursing homes where people do rehab. It can help them tremendously if they have the right attitude and think of it as merely temporary.

So did everyone go to Chickenstock this weekend? How was it? How many extra birds did you come home with?

All the kids with the two grandkids were out here for lunch today. DH and I are completely exhausted after they've all gone home. And we are having three more grandkids. I can't imagine what chaos it will be like when they are all out here running around chasing the chickens and goats. Insane!

Got to teach this week. 7:30-5 M-F. Going to be a killer week. Don't know why I let myself be talked into doing this class...

Rusty, when is your surgery? Good luck!

Oh, finally got my automatic pop door working. It opens at 7 and closes at 8:45. I can't tell you how great it is to sleep just a bit later in the morning and not to have to worry about letting the chickens out. Whoopee! Now I go out about 8 or so and feed everyone and don't have to drag myself out earlier.

everything ok nova? I thought sure you'd have tales of the chickenstock! :/
