My drakes foot is ALWAYS bleeding??!

[onaharley]

Ronnie and I are on a break.. and I'm broken to pieces over everything I'm so stressed and overwhelmed and afraid

I know that things might seem rough right now but trust me when I say that this will not kill you, but it will make you stronger. Grow from this experience and take the positive things with you and leave the negative things behind you!

I'm so sorry! I know how devastating it feels to lose an important relationship. Right now, it probably feels like nothing will ever be okay again. It's fine to scream and cry and feel down in the dumps.

It's also important to keep taking good care of yourself, eating, sleeping, showering, going to school, and taking care of your health. Those things can be hard when you are going through the crisis phase of a breakup, but you have showed us all how strong you are over the past many weeks. So even though I know you aren't feeling strong, I want you to believe what we all have been saying to you as you've been treating Aflack and Bubbles.

You can do this. It won't hurt like this forever, just for awhile. You rode out the tough times with Aflack and Bubbles and you can make it through this, too.

There's a little book that's probably still available called How to Survive the Loss of a Love. It's short and practical and it helped me get through a painful breakup.

Wrap up in your softest blanket drink some hot tea or chocolate. Let yourself rest. You're going to make it. Aflack, Bubbles, and your other two ducks are in your corner, as am I.

This is so sweet. It means so much to read this and hear you say this to me. It's gonna be hard for a while, and I still hope things turn out okay, but only time will tell. He said we are on a break but not breaking up so he said he needs space and time to think and maybe things will be better and we will grow closer after it all. But we can't know that right now. I mean I hope for that, but we will see. It sucks a lot right now, but I love him. I haven't even felt hungry since it happened I've been feeling like puking all day since and have had a killer migraine

Maybe some hot herbal tea that has a pleasant smell and taste. Peppermint or ginger tea sometimes settles my stomach. I used to like Sleepytime tea. A piece of toast or some crackers might help, too. I've had chronic migraines since I was five years old. They stink. Try to get some sleep so you get some relief from all that's going on.

Let us know how you're doing tomorrow. If you have a chance, I know we'd all love to see how Aflack and Bubbles are doing, too. It's hard to feel completely sad around ducks!

My dear frightened young lady, I certainly can't tell you what to do. But I can share what has worked for me in my life, under similar situations.
I, too, suffer from an occasional migraine headache. More often as a youngster, and less as an old man, but they still get me once in awhile. And on top of that, being in a situation of total powerlessness to change or improve a situation of loss--that hurts as much as the headache!
My solution might sound corny to you, but it has never failed to work. It is this: I begin to pray like there is no tomorrow! I mean it. I get myself in a quiet room in a low-light environment, and then I talk to my God. I ask what is there that I can give to Him for assistance. (BTW, I never ask for "things," on;y tje strength to surrender my will to Him).
Obviously, my way of doing things has gotten me into this painful situation. So please, God, give me the strength to give these problems and hurts to You. My God's shoulders are plenty big enough to hold all of my problems.
It doesn't always work right away, but after enough time and surrendering to His will, I begin to get relief. The lover who left me, the boss who fired me, the good situation that left me through no fault of my own. All of these have been gently absorbed by the Father's great presence. And I just keep asking for the strength, knowing that it often takes awhile, but that it ALWAYS works, no matter what! God doesn't play around! My questions have always been answered--bar none.
You may never be moved to prayer. Please just know that there is one pilgrim--me--who has regained sanity, and helped himself by letting the Spirit help me. I can only wish for you, the amazing things I have received in this life. -God bless-----
Gil

Oh love, I'm sorry you are going through a hard time. I'm sorry the heartbreak is hard, but at least he's being honest with you, and you have this little group to send you encouragement.

I've been loving reading in the background as your duck feet journey has unfolded. I don't know much about ducks, but it's heartwarming none the less. Grief and sadness are not emotions to shun. Take time to go through these emotions. Maybe do some introspection and quiet thinking. Take care of yourself. Eat well, go walk, drink water, sleep regularly. Even if it doesn't work out, it sounds like you two have had two good years of memories and experiences that have helped you grow, and this in itself is a blessing to remember. I hope things work out for the best, whatever that may be.

Thank you so so much.. you're such a sweet heart.. it means a lot. It truly does. This has been such a long and tough ride.. there's always been ups and downs with Ronnie. All two years. When we are happy and doing well, we are so happy. But when we aren't, it is so hard. To be honest he hasn't even talked to me in a couple days.. and I miss him so bad. We still aren't broken up, but things still aren't okay or right. It's still gross and icky and heart breaking right now. And I don't know what decision he will come to at the end of this little break we are on but I don't wanna lose him and I've been doing everything I can but he's not he's been my partner through every thing. All of struggles and he's helped our duck heal back to healthy Aflac himself. I don't wanna lose him.. it's been hard to sleep and relax and he calm without him though I've tried it's just a lot.. thank you oh so much

I want to thank EVERYONE on this thread for their posts. I found this thread after searching for sores on a ducks feet & I have to say you all helped me save my Khaki Campbell, Brownie! I read through all 59 pages of this thread before treating her. I watched all of the videos (honestly, some of them had me a little sick feeling, but I handled it!) There was such a wealth of information on here that I was able to successfully treat her Bumblefoot (when I didn't even know what bumblefoot was until reading this thread!). So I thank you, my kids thank you (they adore our ducks), and Brownie thanks you! She is now recovering from her traumatic experience in our garage with her sister, Cupcake for company. (I know... the dessert themed names... my kids named them!!)

On a personal note, I am so sorry to hear about what you are going through right now. I know how hard it is to have a relationship struggle. I wish nothing but the best for you and your boyfriend... whatever that may be! You seem to have an amazing support group here & some people who truly care for you. You are truly blessed!

Awww thank you so so much! You are SO incredibly sweet and it means a lot!! I'm so happy that my thread and what my boy Aflac went through and his journey was able to help you and brownie that's so amazing to hear and know! If we can help and inspire others, that makes me a happy girl. Aflac had a severe case and about three months later, is STILL healing! We still are soaking and bandaging till those scabs heal. It's been long and hard.
