Rich, do you have a transfer panel for the generator circuits?
When we put ours in, that was a big dollar item, don't remember if Home Depot carries it...

Rich, it is just a matter of time and waiting. At this point, until the MRI is done, I wait for the nerve to heal and respond or the commands from my brain again. It almost seems to simple. Hopefully the MRI will be clear and Ina few weeks I'll be back to normal.

I guess I was so relieved that I took a nap that could have qualified for a full night's sleep. Funny how once the pressure is off you feel so drained.

How's things with you?

At least you know what is going on and it will resolve itself, Thank God! 3-4 weeks of extra chicken time will not be to bad, lol.

Feel better

Roberta- Hope we get pics of the new babies

Trish

Trish, Thank God is right.

I'll take the chicken time, anytime! As long as I know it is nothing serious, of course.

Guess we both are going to stick around the homestead for a while. I need to get the electricity out to the coop real soon. I saw the wet snow forecast for here and I was like, another winter from hell again... If this proves to be as bad as last year we will be rethinking staying in NY for retirement. As much as I do love this state and all it has to offer, winter and these tired old bones don't mix. And to think I always hated the heat of summer. Getting past the 50 mark must change your body or something. Now I see why all those seniors flock to Florida and points south when they retire.

I'll tell you, chicken sitting has got to be a good idea for a home based business. Might be a good idea for a part time retirement thing. I figured someone would have started this already.

See, Al, when you're a 50+ woman, it can't be too cold! I'm glad all you need is rest to get back to normal. Before you know it, you'll be good as new! What does 3-4 weeks equal in chicken time?

Roberta, in all the posts going around, I didn't see a response to the request for pics of hatched silkie chicks. Don't hold out on us, girl. Shiprocked, eh? Sounds just like Bobby's kind of thing. Except for the part about running out of vodka.

I can now explain why today is a strange day. Last night at 10:30 I got a call telling me that a friend and fellow teacher had passed away. She had been diagnosed with untreatable cancer 3 weeks ago. This afternoon I got the call that I will be taking over her job. It's such a surreal feeling. She was a very special lady and a great teacher. Everyone who knew her loved her. It was so sudden and unexpected. She's got 21 second graders who need a teacher and I'm going to be that person. I'm devastated and honored and relieved all at the same time.

And I start tomorrow morning. My brain doesn't know how to feel.

Suzanne, maybe the hormones should have been equally spread among man and woman. That's why a lot cars have dual zone heating! It eliminates one of the points of contention In a relationship.

Suzanne, I rerread your entire post, and I am very sorry for the loss of your friend.
