Ok there Miss granny you should maybe start checking your mail in a few days. LOL I didn't realize you had walnut issues. Gonna have to suck the fudge and spit out the nuts. ROTF reminds me of a joke.

A Priest was visiting a parishioner in the nursing home and she have a bowl of peanuts by her bed. As they visited the priest kept taking the peanuts and eating them. When the visit was over he realized that he had ate her entire bowl. HE apologized profusely and said he would replace then the next time he visited. She said " oh there's no need to do that father I had already sucked the chocolate off of them"

Maybe granny can eat walnuts okay, just not anyone else. Then she won't have to share!!

That made me smile - growing up my aunt always made the yummiest cookies that she'd bring with her whenever she'd come to visit (5-6 times a year at least), and my next eldest sister and I are not fans of nuts in our cookies, candies, etc so she'd make a pan with nuts for everyone to share and then a separate pan just for the two of us, it pays to be picky, lol.

do they usually make it to 5-6 weeks? She's such a Lil fighter and thinks she can do want the bigger ones can. She can also flat scoot if she thinks it vitamin time. Lol. I was a nurse and when I got her the leg was just frozen I've done range of motion on her (which she also hates) and she has improved by 30%? Just new to the chicken keeping and wondered if I was doing right by her?

it sure is not going to hurt her to go through range of motion. faliure to thrive, they can live a few yrs. just not healthy

Granny, I'm new to this thread. Have had some down time the past few days and have read the entire thread. Sounds like we have some things in common (health wise) and was drawn to your willingness to give and the heart you put into your birds. So glad you made it through your surgery ok. Anything to do with a tendon is painful as the devil - had my hand reconstructed recently. Worst pain I have EVER experienced and half my joints are prosthetic. I've always checked BYC for answers to questions I had about my little flock but have never really followed any particular thread before. I admire the fact that you've retained your sense of humor and dignity with everything that has gone so wrong. I'm pulling for you!

mrsc, i am so very honored that you would take the time from your days to read my silly ramblings. thank you. i am also sorry for your pain. it can be very rough. i am here if you wish to talk anytime or pm me if you want. i am always ready for a friend that is willing to listen to my rants. LOL

I feel the same way about women doing anything to my body, granny. I much prefer a man for a Dr. any day over a woman. Just plain gives me the willies...........

well ya Enola, we weren't designed to have to have woman touching us and a bath is a very personal thing to be sharing with a stranger. i dont like female drs. either but if i have to have a stranger in my shower , i just dont know. its very humiliating. we were raised old school, cover that stuff up from everyone. i cant seem to get pass that and i dont think i should have to. my grandmother , had an answer for every thing and i will take her advise next time and to the devil with what other people think. my mom was caregiver for grandma including baths and grandma would wear her undies to the bath. it gave her her modesty and thats all i ask. i mean, i had to tell this little 22 yr. old girl to turn around. this has gave me quite the insight to what our elders are forced to go through every day. and there is simply no need for it. they say, oh, were all girls here, we have the same, ect... dont matter. some people dont like it and they dont have to put up with it. just because the caregiver has been there done that and i am sure means nothing to them does not change the fact that it means something to the one on the other end. I for one will take a proactive stand next time. and to all the caregivers out there, you can give them a choice.
