I've been reading all along.....but you guys were in 4th gear and my brain was still in 1st so coming up with clever repartees just wasn't happening. <sigh>

LOL, I'm not sure if we were in 4th gear or the outer limits but always nice to see you!
 
Hey, is everyone going to enter the 400,000 member contest? Not many entries yet, so you have a chance to choose the dates/times you want. You need to have a post in the "Pictures & Stories of my Chickens" forum so you can post the link with your guess. The prizes are really nice and the stories have been fun to see. Give it a shot!

Same with me Blooie - duh, I keep hitting the wrong keys - it's scary what things pop up on the monitor when you do that.

Guess I'd better fill you in a little bit here. Jenny just dropped Kendra off for the day and apparently when they got home last night there was a message on their answering machine with Kendra's surgery date.

So the three of us will be heading for Denver on May 30th. Kendra's surgery is scheduled for June 1st. They are doing both the Mitronoff and the ACE procedure at one time so they only have to do one operation to handle both issues. We don't have to stay down there for the 3 weeks like we thought.....they'll discharge Kendra after 7 days, send her home with waste bags attached, and then 3 weeks after discharge we'll take her back, have those drainage tubes removed and be taught how to use the catheters and do the colon cleanout. I feel so bad for Kendra. She's not going to understand any of this, and we can't explain to her that this thing won't hurt, or that thing will hurt for a minute but then it will be over.....being non-communicative when something this major is happening will be so hard on her.

In the meantime, 8 of the 27 eggs I have in the incubator are still doing well, but had to pull 19 duds. Okay, I'm thinking. 8 is manageable and probably much better for a beginner at all of this anyway. Then I won second prize in another contest......6 BA eggs. Oh oh. PM from the person who donated the eggs indicated there was a little concern about the fertility so they were probably going to send me 4 of those and a couple of another breed to make the 6. Got a PM last night. The eggs have been shipped.....11 of them.
