jeanne314

At least I got a walk down memory lane. First time I saw Green AC4, I was around 5 years old. Dad just retired from the Air Force, and right then he decided he wanted to be a "gentleman farmer." And so he did. I got to grow up on a farm with horses and all the fun stuff. He even got the stand-up-to-drive tractor.

I still always try teaset even though it's two words.

7:07 am

Scrabbler

Good morning.

7:08 am

aslindy

Hi! How's the shoulder coming along?

7:12 am

Scrabbler

Good. In another week (6 weeks post-op) I no longer have to wear the immobilizer and I can switch to a sling. Then I start phase 2 of rehab.

7:12 am

aslindy

yay for progress!

7:12 am

Scrabbler

Yes. Are your toe and foot fractures healed?

7:13 am

aslindy

had a recheck with another xray yesterday, things are in good alignment but I still need the fracture shoe for at least another month. :/

7:14 am

Scrabbler

Do you still have pain?

7:14 am

aslindy

yes

7:15 am

Scrabbler

Healing takes time. I am impatient.

7:17 am

aslindy

my brindle girl is having surgery to fix her knee on thursday, though. she has a luxating patella. she'll have a harder time resting than I do, I expect.

7:18 am

Scrabbler

Oh, yes, just like kids.

7:19 am

aslindy

she is crate trained, so that will help. I just wish I could explain things to her.

7:19 am

Scrabbler

Give her a lot of treats.

7:20 am

aslindy

I sure will. and I already have puzzle feeders and toys I can put her food in so she has something to do that's rewarding but restful

7:21 am

aslindy

man, I need a puzzle feeder for me.

7:21 am

Scrabbler

I just bought a puzzle feeder for my rabbits and 3 other flavored teats.

7:21 am

aslindy

BzznBea

That would be a perfect dinner for me, pen.

5:46 pm

penquis

it was quite good... ;o)

5:49 pm

BzznBea

Ours are 80+ years of hardwood. Mr. Bea had to add 4 inches to an area about 4x12, so that it would be the same height as the rest of the kitchen floor.

5:49 pm

BzznBea

I'm sure it was, pen. Simple is always good.

5:49 pm

penquis

5:50 pm
