Helpful hints for building coops

[Molpet]

I had a fall at work yesterday and injured my foot. I had a telemedicine visit this morning and the doctor thinks that it's probably not broken. I'm out of work until after my follow-up next week -- which is not the best way to get the rest I needed.

Fortunately, the 15yo can help me care for the chickens.

Sorry you got hurt in your fall.
I seem to be blessed because I bounce. Fell on my knees a couple days ago and just have bruising. Tripped over a branch and landed on old plywood at lockup.

I was fortunate, because the strained and mildly bruised foot is the only injury. I was worried about my bad knee because that's the side where my foot went out from under me (I stepped on a piece of pineapple peel while coming around a corner).

I didn't go flat down and I didn't crack my head on the steel counter so it was a lot better than it could have been.

Funny how you become grateful that an injury wasn't worse. Been there.

I'm glad you have help. Get some rest and mend well!

At first I didn't think I was hurt at all, but over the next couple hours I kept having to adjust my shoelace and started limping.

there's not much you can do for a broken foot other than stay off of it.
Annie's knee seems to be getting better. The Dr is going to look at it next Tuesday.
With Xrays he will be able to see if the bone is mending.
I called Jung. the reason they did not ship two cherry trees to me is that they ran out. So why ship just one? I need two for cross pollination. they said they will reimburse me. I will be watching for that.
meanwhile I bought a Bing cherry from F&F. Every place around here is sold out already..
bought 12 bags of compost. now I will blend it with the potting soil I have on hand.

up here the price has quadrupled.
If you can get some for the old price, buy extra.

Yikes, feel better!

Oh my, guess I am not the only one around here that falls down. It's good that it wasn't too bad.

Today I weeded the strawberry bed and watered the flower beds. They sure needed it. So I didn't get any building done. Pretty tired these days.
