Right now Sophie is breathing a lot better than she did last night. She is moving more. She is acting stronger too.

Tom has always had problems with confusion when he has UTI

That's no fun . Then you feel the weight because you know he needs you to get him help. I know the feeling. It's not that you don't want to, it just makes you weary

This getting old crap sux.

Okay, got that off my chest and yes I know it's better than the alternative. Granny, you're rubbing off on me. Woke up this morning and my left arm and the left side of my neck was totally lead. Couldn't feel a thing in 4 fingers, couldn't move anything. Finally got feeling back but the shoulder and neck have been less than pleasant all day plus my hand keeps falling asleep. Doc says inflammation from osteo puts pressure on a nerve, thus the problem. Just wanted to let you know that you aren't alone out there.

Also, Tom is what I refer to as being 'happily confused in Tom-land'. Trust me, no better way to be if you are dealing with dementia. Go with it. He sounds like his mood is pleasant and he's engaging you in conversation so enjoy his good mood even if he is confused.

Also, didn't know you had Egyptian Fayoumis at one time. I have 6 left. 4 hens and 2 roosters. They have a couple of cross bred sons, but I have never been able to get a pullet out of them. Right now they are molting and I have to say they are the sorriest excuses for chickens when they are shedding feathers like fall leaves.

You always have a way with words

I can't take meds for at least 2 hours. I'm getting most impatient.

One of my many charms.

Granny. SOP for dementia patients. Infections make it worse.

Go Sophie! One tough little gal. I have a little cross bred rooster named Elvis because his comb flops over on eye and he thought he was a real 'ladies man' with the girls. About 5 years ago he got in a fight over the ladies and lost an eye. Thought he'd learned a lesson as he left the girls alone until this past spring when he showed up with an injury to his remaining eye. Didn't look too bad so I doctored it and it healed. In the past I just cull any rooster who has catastrophic injuries to both eyes but thought Elvis had a chance to recover. He did well for about a couple of weeks then I noticed him bouncing off the sides of his hospital cage. Yep, old boy was now blind but I didn't have the heart to cull him. Just a pleasant funny boy. Today I got him out to give him a cuddle and some time out of the cage. Miserable existence I told him but alive and blind is better than dead. I worry about him this winter when it is cold. He does well in his small cage. He can find his food and water bowl but put him in a larger pen and he gets lost so putting another bird in with him isn't an option in his current habitat. I have a larger pen in my feed room that I could conceivably put him and an old hen in if the temps get too cold.

Amazing what we will do for birds that touch our hearts as well as our lives.

Sorry you've had a bad day. I have had that exact problem with my hand before. Sucks.
Don't they have the prettiest chicks ever?? I only had a pair but they bred good. Didn't take long to fill them up.
