Another brilliant week! Our oldest chook died Thursday so we only have one left so she'll need company and we're thinking about getting a few more 'exotic' types. I really want 2 Muscovy ducks I saw advertised but we're not really set up for ducks and we can't really trust Lizzie- we found her chewing on one of the chooks absentmindedly earlier this year and anyway, she needs to see the vet again: I found a large lump on her loin/hip area tonight. It's so big you can actually see it and it wasn't there 2 days ago. Ironically I rang her vet yesterday to let him know how she was going because we had to take her to another vet to get the stitches out after her 2nd op.
So we've got a lonely chicken, a lumpy dog and an arthritic 28 year old horse who has paired up with a rather annoying and quite aggressive mare with rubbish owners. And I'm over my gum / jaw infection but have had a headache for 3 or 4 days that extra morphine and extra codeine won't touch. Oh yeah- and I may have to have surgery on my oesophageal sphincter if yet ANOTHER medicine I've been put on doesn't work because I keep spewing when I'm asleep and inhaling it, wrecking my lungs and upper respiratory tract!
Yay- all this and menopause too! Oh and the car's radiator virtually exploded last Sunday evening out at the paddock and we had to get a flat bed tow truck to come and take us and our poor car home, then another one to come out and take it to the garage to be fixed- $620 forked out so far!
