Heading for bed here, guys, y'all have a good one.

My Oncologist's office called to confirm an upcoming appointment. I commented it was very early on. That's when they tried to encourage me to do the video chat type doctor visit. I don't think so. They have to do a blood draw each time I go in. Hard to do that without me going in. Yes, they could refer me to a nearby lab for the blood draw, BUT it's not always easy to get blood from me, and the nurse that does it in the doctor's office, is fantastic.

Mine don't creek and pop, but they sure do hurt. This pic is similar to what my toes look like, except the toes next to the big toes have the hammer tow effect going on plus they want to curve over my big toes and my big toes are curved in also.. I wish mine looked this good, LOL.

Mine do not do that!

The DWs are starting to do that a bit though.

My toes might be gout(uric acid) related.

They have trouble getting blood from my DW too!

She often comes home with a lot of bruises

The toes on my left foot creek and hurt when I bend them!

It is irritating

I have that issue on both feet, but no creaking.

They have surgery for that.

The best way to prevent bruising is to apply direct pressure to the hole where they poked you and raise the affected arm. Hold it up for at least a minute.

Had two chickens drop dead today, one was a pullet that hadn't even laid yet.

My mom had that condition too!

I think I have it too. From what I understand, all chickens have it; maybe head-bobbing is worth trying when we're struggling to focus?!

Sorry for your loss. That happened to one of mine in the spring; she was just beginning to redden up No idea what the problem was.
