Question.
Is the boo-boo that’s open draining from the top or bottom?

Also is her foot stuck in that position or can she move it and her toes?

Another question. Sorry. Is the leg always “crossed over” the midline, or is that just the way she’s standing?

So the boo boo is on the bottom. I had to open her bandage today. (She was pulling it off.) It looked horrible but it doesn't stink. It's not warm or red. I cleaned it up with some colloidal silver and put honey on it again. I'm pretty sure I can see bone right at the joint.

Her foot isn't stuck but she doesn't move it or her toes. They are warm. There is blood flow but she doesn't use them. She seems to move the whole thing from the hip.

I don't think it's always all the way over like in the picture. I think that was more of how she was balanced but her leg is pulled in at the hock.

The first picture is how she stands when she is using the hock to support herself. She promptly stood up and started trying to rip the bandage off.
I'm wondering if she can't feel below the hock joint? Like when you try to walk and your foots asleep. She can feel at the joint. She doesnt like when I was trying to work some gook out of it. But there is a disconnect somewhere.

By the by......

Happy Friday!

I need to remember to get the tall ladder out. I tossed a tennis ball yesterday that bounced way to well and ended up in the gutter.

BE CAREFUL! I don’t want you to have Cappy-luck getting it down.

Yay! I am super happy for you! Get something DELICIOUS!

Oh me too! I didn't want to keep it and it was too nasty to give away. I don't hate anybody that much.

I need to share this:

There's just so much happening here. The person's laugh... the deer.. and at the end the girl says Bye to the deer that tried to mate w/ her friend.

What in tarnation?
I am at this very moment faking being busy. It is raining and cold but the neighbor boy wants to "hang out". Nope, I don't let men in the house so we would have to sit on the porch. I'm just not feeling into having physical company today either. Don't mind talking to the boy but I don't want to see him. I am so quickly turning into my mother omg!

Lol. When I first moved out to Arizona I decided to venture out and find this shopping center one night after dinner.
I found it.
But I got turned around on the way home.
No cell service.
I could feel that I was driving up in elevation.
The phrase PITCH BLACK had an all new meaning.
Came around a bend and saw a yellow road sign with cut picture of a cow on it, and below it, another with the words OPEN RANGE on it.

Silly city girl.

About 100 yards later I came around another bend and slammed on the brakes.

I was in the midst of a HERD OF CATTLE!

In the dark.

In the middle of nowhere.

With no back up camera.

They weren’t moving either.

And they’d closed in behind me too.
And they were NUDGING ME!

It took me almost an hour to back up little by little that hundred yards or so. Then finally got turned around with a —what felt like —thousand point turn, on that skinny road.

I called the hubs as soon as I finally got a signal on my phone, but I didn’t get home till almost midnight.
Scared DH to death.

Before I moved away I took a picture of one of those signs. I still have it on a memory board in my writing room.

I love this story! Not that you got lost, but I hope its a fun memory now.

This is such a true statement. “Sense of direction” is something someone is either born with or not.
Except for that time with the cattle, I almost always have an excellent internal gps.

Once I’ve been somewhere once, I never need directions again.

Only 50% of my kids inherited this trait.

The other two could get lost in a dark paper bag.



Omg. I could TASTE it just from reading your words!

My internal gps is usually pretty good too. Except getting getting turned around in a mall in Detroit.

Oh, and Greensboro, NC always got me bumfuzzled driving around.

I actively avoid everyone. Last night a couple of children were sitting on the sidewalk [by the road!] at my apt complex collecting donations for something. As I walk out to go let the chickens out the boy came up to me and asked me for a donation. I declined and he asked what was in my bucket. I told him egg shells for the chickens and showed him. He stared at me for a few beats then said ew and walked away. It was very weird and I'm hoping they don't come back.

Hubby told me he would get it this evening. That way there are 2 people.
Not that there aren't 100 other balls.
I just don't want to forget and have a totally clogged gutter.
It rolled into the top portion of the downspout.

That's when you hold your phone to your head and talk loudly. Doesn't matter no one is on the other end, they don't know that.

Front and side view.

I actually think it's a little farther back but its definitely more turned in. When I had her hobbled I put the hobble about where the bandage is on her bad leg. Then to try and pull it back I had it just above the bend on the other leg.
Ideally she would be hobbled low to pull that foot in. But then it sticks out really far forward. I may try that anyway.

Maybe a figure-8 style wrap? With a little extra pulling in the proper direction?

quoting so I can check that out now.

Lol! You reminded me there is a frisbee on the roof that is bleached white like a skeleton in the desert.

I saw that deer video a while back. She's darn lucky that it was a young deer and didn't get any more aggressive than he did. He could have done some major damage to that girl.
