grannys gone and done it

[Granny Hatchet]

the heart dr. grrr... i went today another ekg and he wont ok me for surgery unless i have a stress test. 80 miles on the van.just to be told i need more crap done. did a little grocery shopping while i was there and hurt my foot trying to get them in the house. that boot sucks. so, the chickens i kept, i am getting some white eggs but i dont know who is what. lol i put a couple fake eggs where i want them to lay and this is the 3rd day i have packed them in the house.

let me try, i have 3 buff orphs, 3 black alstrop, 2 candy corns, one crested cream legbar, one phoenix ( that sounds like a kitten) and one rir. thats the hens. as far as roos i have a black frizzled silkie, a crested leg bar, a tiny very old ( one of my first) red and blue something and a phoenix . they are all pol . i am getting 2 white and 1 brown egg a day. question, are the white eggs from the candy corns?? and i started preventative yesterday and ivermectin 2 days ago. i dusted them and will give them the wazine in a few. cover all bases i didnt get the eggs today so i guess i will start tossing them for a while. not sure of a time limit after wazine is giving. i will have to go buy some store bought eggs. unbelievable ! i guess i will store all my brooders and extra cages and my supplys in the guinea coop after i find some poor sucker to clean it out. thats a little more then i am able for now. i dont know if i told you guys or not but surgery is tentatively set for the 15th barring my stress is ok. i bought a new pillow and some pretty blue sheets for my bed today. if i am gonna be stuck in there for 3 weeks i want comfort and pretty. lol run my mouth enough. night all

Granny Hatchet, dang your Doc appts sound like mine a long trip to be told they are going to do something else before they fix the problem!! Can't waste a trip for only one thing have to get groceries, other needs, and the wishing for to make it a non waste of fuel. THEN have to pack it all up the steps into the house. Sometimes we (my Sis and great Niece) each carry it so far, unload to the steps, next carries it in, other starts unpacking and putting it away.

Doc is currently trying to figure my carpal tunnel as numbness is spreading up to the shoulder I dislocated years and years ago. Why can't they just believe us and get the ball going to fix us huh??

Your sheets sound very pretty! I hope the toes in bed for rest will pass quickly. Stress test.... tell em you have had enough of that Thank you very much!! Huggg hope all goes well. - Sara

Granny hoping and praying your surgery goes good. Did you keep that little Polish chick you found that you said was a keeper?

 

[Granny Hatchet]

thanks girls. no i didnt keep any babies. i hope he keeps it and i can at least see what it looks like. i know its gonna be a beaut. stress test is the 2nd. guess i am keeping it as my dr. wont clear me and now he is off on vacation again. must be nice. never had vacation in my life and sure i never will. besides i am too tight with money to waste it on something that doesnt give back.

 

[Suzierd]

Granny you need a vacation! It does give back with happy memories and one heck of a good time! I'll never forget swimming with sea turtles in Hawaii! You don't even need to go that far to make good memories. Maybe you will sometime after your healed up.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

i am sure it would be nice but i have never had one because i am always broke ! lol tell ya what sounds nice to me. one of them big bathtubs that has bubbles that massage you . maybe some room service with some fancy food. LOL or maybe just one of them things outside here where i live. get necked out in the woods and soak all my worries away !!! hahahaa i will become a wood nymph. that is if my trees ever get big enough for my butt.oh, i know!! a big grape arbor around it! not over because the grapes would fall in and i cant do a grape stomp. that my friends, would be a vacation.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

there is talk of them putting me in a nursing home until my leg becomes weight bearing. is that to be my vacation? worry about my kid, husband and animals? i would rather crawl. thats just not gonna happen.

makes me feel for all the ones that has nobody, no choice. not strong enough to say no. Family and good friends are so important. if you cant have one make sure you have the other.

Hi Granny!

Came across your thread by chance the other day and got hooked reading it all the way through. Made my little cat happy because she got lots of extra lap time!

So, have to tell you how much I enjoy your slightly wicked sense of humor. My hubs would see me and the cat still? sitting at the computer and wonder why I was still? there. Then I read him one of your jokes and he chuckled away and left us in peace with your story.

Well, now I've caught up and have nothing but best wishes to offer you and your husband. Hope your foot surgery goes well, when it goes. My aunty had out patient surgery on her foot last year, and while on the table, her heart stopped. There was some defect with her heart that was unknown until then. Spent several days in the hospital and she's okay now. Even had an additional surgery on her foot and it's good too now, finally. So, much as those Dr.s are sadistic bas overly cautious and inconvenient, better to be safe than sorry.

Nursing home sounds torturous, although I wouldn't mind having meals brought to me for a few days. Is there any way your insurance would help pay for a home health care nurse? It has to be cheaper than a nursing home, and seems like it would be better for your husband and son (and Frosty too) for you to be at home.

So sad about giving up your flock, but it was the brave thing to do. Easier for you to concentrate on getting well, and you can take comfort from Frosty, who is a real cutie pie. Hope you don't mind me crashing in on your thread, but I will keep checking in to see how you are doing if that's okay.

How are you doing today?

 

[Granny Hatchet]

rough day today. lots of pain and a lot of pain in the @sses . i took a pain pill but you cant fix stupid. told my husband i was hungry and he said nothing. asked him how he was going to feed me after surgery and he said , someone will come. really? i was so upset with him i got up and made dinner. lol ya, cant fix stupid. funny, i have sweated this whole blessed day nonstop. pill maybe? i think they are strong ones. idk. my son on the other hand stepped up today. he washed my sheets, made the bed and even went out to feed and water the chickens !! the very best part is when he asked me if i was ok.

that is such a leap for him !! i am very proud. and i will get the ol man on the ball, just didnt feel good today. i have one chicken that sounds like a goose and one that sounds like a new kitten. i hope they are not getting sick. but if they do i guess its no big loss. already lost that.
