What a day! Heading to bed in a few, but thought I'd read the posts, drop a line.

I let the CS chicks out today. Not just in the big run, but OUT. They mAde their way back home, and you could see that they were happy.

Looks like I have a bumble foot girl. Ugh. Not looking forward to my first foot surgery. Wonder if I should call the vet... Hehe, be lazy about it. Fuzzy, if you'd give me your run down on the final cure...

Keyt, all your girl is missing is a tongue stud. That last pic of the little girl was my fav. Daring people! Smile!

got the lawn mowed. Hooked 2 sleds up behind the tractor, put it in fast and dragged the kids all over the yard. They loved that. Lol. I wish I had a lawn cart. But, I used the sleds as a way to get the toys picked up. Lol, as we'd drive past, the boys would snatch them up. Lol. Was good fun.

gotta go to work at 3... So... Have a good nite all.
 
post 26 and 33, nova. If it's minor i'd start with the sugar and iodine paste, if not so minor start with the antibiotics and paste, THEN the surgery. Mine was so bad i had to keep doing surgeries, but i think had i started with the antibiotics FIRST and gotten the swelling down it would have been a easy in/ easy out deal. The last surgery i did was after the final paste, and when i cut the scab off it looked like the classic pics in the how-to's, before that it was nearly solid looking and i never knew what i was cutting.
