Granny's gone and done it again

Its not real often.

Still, what if it happened while you were drving? Crash!

You are the best of what Pam saw in her mom. Same with my hubs and dad. Hubs has all the best parts of my dad (can make or fix anything, hard working, etc.) without all the stuff that drives me crazy (which I will not list).


So you did have a fractured foot! And were walking on it. You think that Dr will ever admit she was WRONG?


That's sad, Cap, you didn't get to meet her. I never knew my dad's folks, but was close to my maternal g'ma and g'pa. I felt lucky to have them in my life.


If you get snow, the bales are a really good idea. It keeps the run much drier over winter. Learned this from a byc member in upstate NY with a huge hoop coop. Worked well for her... kept the drifts out of the coop.


From the news meds? My grandma would have said "Eat a banana!" Muscle cramps and jerks can be helped with potassium. Have you been drinking fluids? Could be electrolytes are off.

Thanks Wishing

I will hun, I can't take a deep breath or lift stuff or just try to get out of my chair without it taking my breath away.

It will be interesting to see how she treats compared to Caps. DH

I think most of the time they call that muscle twitches. My lower eyelid will twitch when I haven't has enough sleep. Sometimes my whole body "shudders." They used to say someone was walking over a grave when that happened. My older son gets that too. There is also something called restless leg syndrome, where your legs jerk at night. I'm not sure what causes it, but I've had mild cases of it a few times... it kept me awake!

I have had restless leg syndrome at times. Really annoying.

CL, so sorry you got more broken bones! Try to take it easy for a while so you will heal.

Thanks Cap, it's not letting me do a whole lot without a lot of pain.

It would be more like restless leg only not just my leg.

Been there with broken ribs twice. Broken toes as well. Broken bones are just so painful ! Listen to your body, you need rest.

hahaa bubble lady

 

[ChickenLady2014]

Oh no! You cracked a rib! That's terrible. Lucky you didn't land on your broken wrist and make that worse. I got a stash of bubble wrap I can send you. You need some protection.

Not certain if it's cracked, haven't had an xray on it yet. I got the sore ribs from trying to not land on my wrist. Tried to roll, took the fall right to my left breast. Tweaked my right right a little but it's not too bad. Have been wearing a splint on it at night. The left wrist I was wearing my splint when I fell. Had only been out of my cast for 4 days when I tripped & fell again.
