Glad to hear that your neighbours are no longer screaming all the time. Must have been very disturbing for your chooks...Yes. The Campines are making huge strides just now. Bet the neighbours are pleased. They're no longer screaming all the time.
208 is very high. Im am sure they are working up why it was so high as well.Not really. Her BP was 208 when they put her in the ambulance, so they are attributing it to that, but they don't know where it bled or why.
I can just imagine what the hospital security would think of me bringing in a chicken?
I sense a book and a made for TV movie. Maybe even a reality series. I would watch for sure.I like that name!But I fear I still have a long way to go!
That's rather disturbing that we are all "rutting " for her Bob!
(Don't worry, I think we know what you meant)

It's horrible seeing someone you care for with tubes hanging out of them.Good morningBeautiful sunrise... Just got off my con call with our team in AUS... Today has been a good day. We've got one more test ahead of us and then Sue will be able to eat and drink on her own. When I got there this morning she was alert and talkative... I asked her why she wasn't answering the doc's and nurses questions and her answer was clear and concise: "They piss me off" So I explained why they ask and why they aggravate her... And told her she needs to play nice so she get's the right treatment.
I met with the ICU doc today and his concern was she was non-responsive to him and the nurses. So I walked her through the questions and she answered all of them right except one... My name is now "Pain in the butt" and she smiles when she says it. The doc was ecstatic. And ordered speach to come see if she was ready to move off of the feeding tube. We learned that the angle of the bed made a huge difference. @45* all she wants to do is sleep. @60* She's bright eyed and bushy tailed. Okay, I hate medical terminology. Technically she has had a hemorrhagic stroke. As the speech lady provided ice and water to test whether she was ready for real food, she hated the taste of the ice and water. It turns out that this is a common side effect of stroke. She brought her apple juice and she guzzled it down. Then she ate gram crackers and then gram crackers with peanut butter. So hopefully soon they will drop the feeding tube.
Now, a reality series about people who really care about providing high standards of living for animals would be one I might watch.
I'm commuting it's a daily 3 hour drive round trip. I left 15 minutes late today and it turned into a 3 1/2 hour commute.
I will and I have. Today she got to eat real food for lunch... Her assessment was it was nice to eat real food but it tasted like crap. I tasted it too, she's right it tasted like crap. But in any case she ate about half her lunch which is not inconsistent with her normal eating and all of her desert. She really liked the chocolate pudding.
