Wow. That's a lot more than just orthotics. Fingers crossed that it will do the trick!

Thanks, I'm hoping!

I thought I'd be like that too. I surprised myself. (And was quite proud too)

I'm always impressed with people being able to do the processing, so big way to go to you!

Oh lol. Thank you!

That sounds like Bob & his wife Sue's situation (according to Bob, Sue comes out once the killing part is done).

When we had meat rabbits, DH got to do all of it by himself. I didn't mind cooking the rabbit meat, but I didn't want to be involved in the rest. (What a sissy I am!)

You are definitely not a sissy. It's not a great thing to experience and we all have limits regardless of what other people think.

Oddly enough I was actually ok skinning etc. Just couldn't be there for the kill. I hid in the chicken coop.

on chickens, i just turn my back, rabbits, never there, husband did it, pigs and cows, someone else did all the dirty work, all i had to do was pay, take it home and put it into the freezer, going to do that with our pigs too

I think it would make a difference if it was something that had to be done to keep from starving. But I'm a long way off from starving.

funny, used to hunt with daddy, had no problem with shooting whatever and then cleaning

As you should be!

I agree. Honestly, I did it once because a couple of quail were suffering and then cried all day. The second time was a chicken for dinner. Now I know how and that I'm capable and that's enough.

A suffering animal is something I couldn't walk away from either.

I'm proud of you for learning how to do the chickens Kim, that's a real accomplishment!

Shooting is less up close and personal don't you think? Plus in hunting situations that animal has a chance to survive if you miss.
