Thank you Laura. The leg is wrapped up as large as it was when the first surgery was done (back at the ER when they put the rod contraption thru/on his leg). I was told that his leg was opened half way down his shin t o the ankle. Some screws taken out. All bone pieces roughed up, blood flow to broken area 'opened' up, artificial bone graphs placed, two new plates added (in addition to the one he already has) and many more new screws to hold it all in place. Not quite sure how I am going to manage. I am working 11 - 12 hour days at work with my new position, and now have all the barn chores and the chickens as well. My back (degenerative disk) didn't do well with it last time, and then I wasn't working as many hours, even though I had two jobs then to make ends meet. My back is in worse condition now. Just have to do what I can, and keep my chin up. I can't do anything else.

Brethren, You don't know me but I read your post about your husband. I can relate to it because I to went through ordeals with an accident. I myself have a lot going on. I don't know what town your near but if your close I don't mind helping a little with your animal chores. I have a lot going on too but I understand sometimes you just need help. I don't post on here much but if you know quite a few people on here like Wynette, she could vouch for me. If not that's fine. Just let me know.

Another day awaits us and I know mine will be a good one. Going to my middle son David's in laws to celebrate another Father's Day. I can only imagine how empty life would be without children. Mine have made my life so much richer and for that I am thankful.

I forwarded the spider pics to friends at EMU. We have a prof there who is an expert. Hopefully we can get an ID.

I think it is a Bold or Daring Jumping Spider, Phidippus audax and it looks to be a male because of his eyebrow tufts.

I wish I could lose my phobia and not care about doing something like this. My wildlife biology degree background makes me find them interesting, but I just don't like them ON me or NEAR me, haha.

Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful fathers out there (including my own DH!).

Guess what makes guineas not want to go into their coop at night?

A 30" long Eastern Milk Snake!. Yep, guineas were having a fit last night and didn't want to head into the coop, after a little investigation, look who was hanging out in the corner. Add one bucket and a hoe and problem solved. DH and the kids got home late last night from a trip with the church to the Creation Museum in Ky. Boy was DS (11) impressed with mom, the snake hunter! I let him release it after we got pictures and a measurement.

Beautiful snake! And it always makes me SO happy to read about the snake being sent on its way rather than having its head bashed in! You're lucky to have one nearby, since their primary diet is rodents (sure, they'll eat other things, but they'd rather eat a fat mouse than anything else!).
