Fortunately the weather cooperates for the next 10-14 days with little rain and a lot of sunshine in the forecast, so that the »panzer practice area« between the house and the duck facility can dry out - i finished the drainage ditch before the accident. So we are fine for now, my wifie could collect all the yummy eggs and the ducks enjoy their new freedom. They love to spend the cold nights outside in the mudd…
Sorry to hear that! I have a friend back in Germany whose story is strikingly similar to yours. Problems with her right knee over and over again until she was »old enough« to get an artificial joint. No further problems since then. I don't understand that »too young« argument that some doctors use. Have you considered to consult a another doctor?that would have been a good explanation. Sadly not the case. Kept tearing cartilage, tendons & muscles. They would go in clean it up, be fine for 6 months sometimes less.Finally got a doctor who had tests done and found my knees tracked on the outside of the knee, reconstructed both but left didn't take, had to remove kneecap. Said I was too young (35-36) for replacement.
When i'm back on my feet i will buy a bucket of diesel and burn that deck down…
I'm back home since last night, they released me after dinner. Thank you very much for the hint to the 4H group, i did not even know such group exists. And we have one right here in Charleston. For now we're fine as the weather has calmed down…
My wife is doing fine, thank you! She has calmed down since i got home last night. The Duckies enjoy their new freedom, no Hill-Billie herding them back inside in the evening… And NoName Duck has started to lay eggs! We now have three eggs a day, a large one from Katharina, normal size from Curiosity and a tiny one from NoName Duck.
I hope you and your family are having a very merry Christmas!
Got back home last night!
Thank you very much for the good wishes, we enjoyed Christmas as much as possible. I hope you and your family had a joyful time too!So sorry to hear about this!
I know a lot of folks who would be taking this far worse (and they would have every right to) but you are taking this so cheerfully! And you have a really good sense of humor!
Best wishes to you and yours!
Don't over do that other leg, or you won't be ambulatory at all....BTDT.
