the wifers said ya wanted to see a pic of my tie-dyed buff/barred/rock,, hahaha hers 1 you can see the buff color lol.

Oh .......where are you??

Is your back better? I get me a humdinger when I pull it out.

But 1themuch is right, after a few days get the blood going and stretch that bugger out nice and slow. Lie on a flat place and pull your knees to your chest and hold them there for a bit. Let them down....relax a minute....Then do each leg individually again up to your chest. It helps believe me! Do it a LOT.

It hurts but ya need to work out the kinks. I now have to see a chiro to loosen me up the first few days. Bad backs are NO fun for sure.

What is happening w/eggs??? Everything OK so far? Inquiring minds WANT to know.

Back isn't better but I'll live.

Eggs still there but who knows. I didn't candle and I can't go out to check on her so it's up to the Lord now.

 

[pasofinofarm]

I missed something... What happened to your back?

Are you OK?

If something goes wrong in the hatch with all this going on I'll send you eggs for postage...

Feel better!

I hope you get to feeling better!

I tore a muscle in my upper lumbar region about 3 years ago, and it is still not the same! It took me over 3 months before I could stand or sit for more than 20-30 minutes. It is better, but I have good days and bad days. I second everyone else's recommendations, stretch, stretch, stretch!! Is it upper/ lower/ or mid back that you hurt? I know the stretches for all of them! When I tore the muscle, it threw the bulging discs in my neck and upper back out of whack, so they had to 'fix' them all! Let me know if you need some stretching exercises!! Hope you feel better, and your broody will do fine, I know it!

The x-ray on Wednesday shows that I have ZERO disc between L4 & L5. At present it's bone on bone. Actually stretching wrong can make it much worse.... there's good stretching and bad stretching. I've been using some muscle relaxers and something for pain. It's helping. I've got cold on it right now.

Went to the funeral of a friends mother today. Funerals are typically supposed to last 70 minutes. After two full hours I couldn't take it anymore and we got up and walked out. My friend had already spoken and his kids had sung so we just left. I slept from 2 until 7PM... spent some time outside with the chickens for a bit and then with the kids before scripture reading and prayer.

Church starts early tomorrow(last year it was 1-4, this year its 9-12) so it should be a fun day.

Oh and Melissa, if none of these eggs hatch, I'm going to buy a bator and then you can put me on a list and I'll BUY and pay postage for whatever you can get me of the Blue Wheatens.

Thanks.

Well, the six eggs are still under Neckie.

We'll have to see what happens on Thursday.

I am so hoping this works.

I'm going to give Neckie a little salmon tomorrow... a little protien to help her last the final 3 days... plus water in one corner and some mash in the other and I'm completely taping off her nest again tight so no one can knock her off.

And Friday, I'm supposed to fly to Salt Lake.

I'll be giving hen w/ baby chick instructions to son #4 before I leave.

Fingers crossed for Neckie and brood. And you, off to SLC.

You do realize that this is far better drama than any soap?
