I hope lyrica works for you. Opo made his highness's decision so everything looks Rosie to me. I live with a different type of chronic pain then you but pain is pain. It sucks...old age is the best cure for that.
Thanks Cathie, I am hoping over time the pain at the end of my arm will subside.

I have used Lyrica. It is for nerve pain. I hope it works for you.
Thanks, I hope it works also. I think part of it is nerve pain. When I take my pain meds. I get partial relief. So I think I have problems with muscle or bone and also nerve. When my back had pinched nerves. Pain meds didn't help much.

Hello everyone. We went to a different reserve in the Camargue today; the marais de Vigueirat. We arrived as it opened and a guided tour of part of the reserve not generally open was about to depart. We went on it. Just us, a French lady and a guide who spoke little English.

We did fine. My French is passable and the internet translated bird names from French to English and vice versa... The guide was really good and we saw and identified many things that we couldn’t have done without him.

One of several native European Pond Turtles

Great pics! Are those horses wild? They look like they have a brand mark on them.

She's so pretty. I love her turquoise spots. God dressed her up like a princess.
Oh, thank you! The pictures don't do her justice. She's more red than the pictures show. :)

The three turquoise dots will come off with her next shed. The breeder uses a nontoxic paint to help identify the beardies.

Interestingly, as she gets older, she should develop some blue barring where some of the dark places are on her back.

Why have I heard of Daytona?

Quick Google... speedway track. I have no interest in speedway and neither dies anyone I know, but somehow it’s lodged in my mind [emoji849]
Daytona Beach used to be a prime Spring Break destination. It's also known for Biker Week (think Harley Davidson) and the Daytona 500 every year. That, and THE reptile expo to go to is the one in Daytona Beach in August. :D

If I remember correctly the Lyrica is to help settle nerves. I took it after my back fusion op. As I was having problems on my right side after the op and my issues were always on my left before.

They’re not, but they may not be schooled for riding. They are used to graze the marshland in a particular way for conservation, but they’re also ridden by the French equivalent of cowboys (called gardiens).

The ranches (manades) keep the famous black cows of the Camargue for beef.

Good Tuesday All,
We are finally over Monday, so let the week begin.
I love the new additions to the CDR, and I wanted to say that I already have a soft spot for a certain Lady in Red, but did not want to hurt two other little ones feelings. And I most definitely did not want to make a certain Dragon jealous. He may never talk to me again.
You can see that spring is around the corner as we are starting to have warmer days more often and my babies are getting to spend more time outside.
