grannys gone and done it

[Granny Hatchet]

frosty didnt chew her bed up. that would be too easy. she chewed stars bed up. Im not happy about the seramas . If i could keep a pr. in the house i sure would. Tom put them in his cabin where electric is good and a haul for me. No water over there except what i bring. No good electric in the other 2 coops. extension cords. the serama last night made me so sick. it had internal piped and no more. it was hollering all day and night so i decided to give it air. I picked it up and put it in position in my hand with the flash light found the air and went to poke. the whole egg just crumbled in my hand. I felt myself squishing the baby. when i opened it this morning it had bleed out at the naval. I just found one of the 2 babys that did hatch on an adventure outside the cage. thats 2nd time that has happened. I dont know where they are getting out. I even duck taped the whole bottom of the cage. inside and out.

I am back in my boot again. I have to wonder what the surgeon did. I seen the xrays. they look like it did before surgery except worse. the spurs are there. how fast can a spur grow back ? because of previous infection and slow healing he wont do it again. First Dr. I ever had recommend i wear high heals. to take pressure off the back of the foot. wonder if he has ever tried to wear them ? He said it will not get better only worse and all my bones are crap. as fast as this came back it wont be no time before i am unable to walk. that is a big blow and i hope he is wrong. It is very painful now. i asked about anti inflammatory he said your already on steroids .

Maybe you need a second opinion about your foot.

Do you have a back porch or somewhere you could keep a couple of Seramas close but not in the house? Then you could see them more and easily bring them in in case of power outage.

I would like a 2nd opinion . I have a front AND back porch/patio . with electric but it is not enclosed / It gets really cold here in the winters.

what measures a persons worth ? Is it the money they have in the bank? the people they call friends? the good deeds they do ? Perhaps it is the memories they leave behind. maybe its measured by how much they are missed. the legacy they left behind. I think it is a simple touch. a warm hug when you are feeling down or a pat to say good job. maybe a look. A look that says i am watching out for you or I am afraid ,comfort me. It is always the look of love. it is always the touch of love. It is always the hope of love that measures a persons true worth. without love in your heart you are but an empty shell, worth nothing. I am a millionaire. I miss you mom. heart emoticon 3-1-1934----5-5-2014

Sorry granny girl about the loss of your mom. I can't imagine your pain, I am very close to my mom as well. I have lost my dad and that was hard, but my mom and I are thick as thieves and can't imagine her not being part of my life. Bless you heart honey, you & your family have suffered so many trials in life and yet you muster on. God blessed you with a huge heart and your rewards in heaven will be great. What did the Dr say about your foot? Sent huge your way.

Sorry granny about all your foot troubles, just had missed all the earlier post. Dang nabbit life is just not fair, wishing that I could just wiggle my nose and make magic happen for you all. You are far too young of a person to be experiencing these difficulties

I worry for my youngest daughter, she was just 17 when she was diagnosed with RA and she is now 28. Already 11 years of taking arthritis meds. After watching my grandma struggle with RA and seeing the damage the meds cause its pretty scary.just don't want to watch that happen to her.

Good news for Robert. Not so good news for you.

Is there at least something they can do to help you with the pain of your foot? Maybe some sort of a soft brace?

Giving up your Seramas.... My first thought is NOoooooo! It took you so long to get them and they really are fun little birds. BUT, thinking on it, you haven't gotten much enjoyment from them, and plenty frustration and disappointment. They do require extra care, it's not easy to put them in with the others, and they are a source of extra worry for you. Might be a good idea if you can sell them. Use the money to buy Frosty a new bed.

Spring is here and I know because my big dog is chewing holes in herself. I noticed last week the skin on her back legs getting a thick, kind of swollen look, which is a sign the trouble is coming. Checked her all over, no holes, and started her on Benadryl. Well, the night before last, she chewed on her back end, which I am treating, and last night, put another sore on the base of her tail.

Guess it's another vet visit for us. Past 3 or 4 years she has ended up with huge abscesses, and I haven't found a good way to prevent it. I think those cone-head collars are cruel for long term, but it's also cruel to put her through more surgery to clean up the infections. We'll see what the vet says.

Try spraying the spots she chews on with a solution of something nasty tasting might stop the gnawing. Like tabasco diluted with water.
