Has any one heard from Julie. I haven't seen a post from her in awhile.

MikeyB I loved your response to the Chevy thing. I really only know a bit about cars. I'm usually just the check writer for the parts. I can tell when something is going too cost me a whole lot, or be a minor thing. LOL

Quote: Ogress, would wearing compression socks or hose help?
Hope you're feeling much better soon!

I had asked about that, but they were worried it would cut circulation to my foot and so they won't allow the yet. I have a pair as I had to wear them when I was pregnant. Right now they don't want me even wearing regular socks! Seems stupid to me, but I see a new Dr that specializes in bacterial infections on Tuesday. Until then neither the Dr at the hospital nor my regular dr want to change anything. I run out of antibiotic today because QFC messed up and gave a quarter dose. Both Drs are aware of that as well, but elect to not change a thing until I see the specialist. That may be good, i will have a clean slate medication wise when I go in, and it will give me a chance to clear up this other infection, you know the kind you get when you take too many antibiotics? It just started. The Keflex had been killing the probiotics so now they will have a chance to work their magic . I just can't wait for that appointment and to get on with life. My garden is calling. I want to make those pallat planters that someone posted a few weeks ago. I wish I had some patience. I think that is my current greatest weakness. Sorry for posting TMI, but I am using BYC for therapy now. Helps me keep my head on straight.

Thanks!

Right now it is overcast, but about 70 F.

Mmmmm... Waaarrrrmmm. (I said that the same way Homer says "doughnuts") I just looked at the north bend weather forecast and it shows SNOW on Wednesday. Thankfully the forecast is usually wrong.

I was just wondering the same thing. Isn't she from Yakima or Walla Walla? I know it is some place warm and dry.

A couple weeks ago we had sunshine, snow, rain, and hail all on the same day!!

I'm going stir-crazy here. Want to get out and do thing and see things. Fresh snow on the mountains every time I look out the window. Will winter ever end? Everything but my leg feels fine now so I end up overdoIng it one day and spending the next in bed watching movies and cursing myself for standing too long the prior. I wish they would just bind the bandages so tight that my leg can't fill with fluid when I stand. Despite my griping, my leg does look a lot better; I am just an impatient person. How does one learn patience? 5 months bed rest when pregnant with DD was a lot easier as there was a life that depended on it. Now I sit here angry with myself for letting my defences get so down that I could get this infection, and I want to get my lazy butt out of here and get back to taking care of things around here.
I am going to hire some kids from the HS football team to clean my coop twice per week, and fill the feeders and waterers and such. They put out an ad that they will do any kind of work for $10 an hour to raise $ for their team. I'm currently using a handyman for nearly 4x that price. I can get up and do stuff around the house for 30 min at a time a few times per day now, but I am paranoid of germs now and I am constantly cleaning things around me.
I watched a lot of movies/dvd's in the past few days... Gran Torino, Crash, Jeff Dunham, Premonition, Surf's Up, Chicken Run...
I need Don to go bring up our Cohen Brothers movies.

There is a life that depends you having patience now -- yours

Don't Chickens eat slugs as well? I know I've seen my large Australorps hens eat some small ones.

Yes, helga777, but what does that have to do with this thread?

I have never had a chicken eat a slug before last week.
I was watching mine pull little pieces of wood/leaves from under rocks when I realized that they were little 1" slugs. Wahoo, way to go.

Russ- Way to go girls.
