So, I have a sore behind. I let the girls out this morning, and you'd think there was a door busters sale outside the coop. The girls caught me off balance, I flew backwards onto my butt, and then one of the BIIIG girls landed right on my chest. I think it was Fauna, but cannot be sure since I was screaming like a little girl.

Yeah, nobody saw me, so I just got up, looked around, and limped back to the house. I told my son, who's up for work, not to ask. I think he noticed the hay in my hair, and possibly the poop on my back...he's smart. He just walked away.

I'm sure he's gonna tell everyone.

Hi, all. Waiting for the Orthopaedist to open. DH broke his shoulder AGAIN.
Thinks he's gonna get better care NOT going to the ER.
This is the 3rd broken shoulder. Not to mention all the other bones.
He'll probably get another body cast.
And make me miserable because I have to wash his long hair.
Every day.
And the bone strengthing supplements give him kidney stones.
And he gives me crap because I might get hurt on my motorcycle.
But this is all on a bicycle. In the woods.
His friends were mad because he ruined the ride.
I'm SO AT THE END OF MY ROPE......
sigh.

Geez......louise!!! You sure got ur hands full!

Want me to come and take care of him? My husband calls me Nurse Ratchett. He's gotta be dying for him to stay home when he's sick. *My work here is done*

One day with me, he'll bubble wrap himself, and not say a peep.

All kidding aside, if you need help in any way-I'm so close to you and certainly wouldn't mind! Even if it's helping clean the coops! Let me know!!!

Oh my gosh! When my hubby had rotator cuff surgery...I had to help him with practically everything that you need two hands for (cutting food etc)...sounds like you are in for a lot of caregiving... If you are open to a natural alternative to bone strengthening supplements....there is a homeopathic remedy called Symphytum for broken bones....it stimulates a healing response in the body for bone knitting....it does not cause any harm or side effects and can taken along with regular meds...my husband and kids have used it with great success....we even had a baby bunny break its leg, be in a cast and heal beautifully using this remedy..... and yes, I know it sounds nutty to pay for a cast for a bunny....but it was one of my daughters favorites

Wow, Roberta. I'm so sorry. For DH and his pain, and for you and your pain (DH). If you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask. I'm an expert at coop cleaning, or if you need a break, I'm an expert at taking breaks, too.

I gotta say.....this is one funny group! I laugh every day here.

Just got back from the hospital.
"Multiple fractures and massive trauma"
He's still there, getting MORE cat scans. Like they didn't see anything with the first one???
Please everyone, don't offer to pick him up and take him home for me.
He won't get beaten up any worse if he stays there, out of my reach.

Oh, and they offered him a Motrin.
REALLY? A MOTRIN?

Thanks for all the offers, but this is NOT THE FIRST TIME HE HAS DONE THIS TO ME.

Now I'm gonna go out to the shed, and charge the battery on my bike.
I am tired of keeping myself safe just to be his caretaker. sigh.

I could assist in the break taking. I'm really good at coffee breaks, cigarette breaks (even though I don't smoke-I can still take one. Equal rights and all), breaking even and I can try to break dance. (Although I would probably break a hip) then we could take a lunch break from all those breaks. Whew!

My middle son is telling me to give him a break, since he's been doing my bidding around here all week. Today we're moving logs to the perimeter of the back property, so my neighbor in back of me doesn't mow down my pepper plants.

He used to be a nice dude, but now he's just slightly titched and keeps coming into my yard (I want a fence SO MUCH!!!) and wreaking havoc in my garden. Knocked over a tomato plant yesterday.

My husband just called and asked if I want to go to Belmont on Friday to watch the ponies and then see...ZEBRA!!! OMG. I loved them. I realize that the 80's were pure cheez-whiz, and that my hair was a foot high halo around my head and that I wore Zebra striped spandex (omg, did I REALLY wear that??) and I was in a band, but I was SO COOL back then! (At least I thought so!) Wow. I just got serious flashbacks to bandanas and fringes on everything.

I still have one of my fringe jackets. Oh, I've gotta pull that sucker out of mothballs!

I'll look and smell like an old lady, but I will FEEL cool.
