Sorry, I wouldn't want to cause unneeded work while you're trying to find your tort. I just know how much my little guy likes rocks. He likes sitting on flat rocks and I'll bet he would dig under if he could.?
The work is needed and overdue believe me. Not enough hours in the day around here to do what we want or need to do, but feel we may be getting somewhere this year. I have searched the rock pile, a seed if he had gone climbing he would end up on his back, no luck yet

Were the doctors able to do your surgery with a laparoscope? That's how I had mine done 14 years ago. It makes recovery much faster and less painful.

I was still more sore than I thought I would be.

You'll be up and running around in no time!

yes!!! And exactly what you said!
I did not think I would hurt this much???
Bloated and “air” is still in my shoulders and upper back??
Said they fill you with “air” so they get a clear shot to organ they are removing??
Feels like :
They put a vice on my lungs and every time I breath I am having a small heart attack.
(They already did 2 ekg s. Said it was the “air”. Heart is fine..
Ok , Anyone else who’s reading this I apologize for the long drawn out drama surgical story but I had to get that out in case Karen SoCal had an answer or a solution for me sorry I’ll shut up now ?

and I am sorry I didn’t respond sooner. These drugs are kickin’ my butt.
They gave me Percocet and morphine (which I hate) but I really must take 1/2 for sleeping or I will be up complaining all night so husband quickly dissolved one in my tea ... ???

I didn’t read the book Treasue island, but I did watch the movie.. it’s been many years ago and I don’t remember ever hearing that.. I love pirate movies... Did you ever watch the Disney flick Swiss Family Robinson?? That’s one of my all time favorites!
I rarely watch film adaptations of books. Usually very disappointing.
The BBC did a very good serial adaptation of Treasure Island back in the day.
But I've only read the book of the Swiss Family Robinson.
Is the movie a faithful adaptation?

Awwww... he’s so tiny yet! And already looking like king of the manor... So is he Toast or are we Toasting his arrival??? I am always looking g for a reason to celebrate! I put one of my favorite red wines in the chiller for my next home shift:).
We are toasting his arrival. His real name is some Japanese word that I can’t pronounce let alone spell. My grand nephew named him. I’m just calling him toast because I can’t think of anything else. The woman who raised him and bred him names all of the beardies after food and she named him toast and I thought we could toast him for his new arrival. I have wanted a bearded dragon for a very long time and I decided my time is slipping away and went for it.

The Cold Dark Room is a place of silliness and fun.
Wibble.
But it is also a place where friends share their troubles and receive support and love. :<3:

It's when he dissolves 27 in your tea you have to worry.

It's just so hard to sit here all day. Yesterday I had William set me up outside in my wheelchair so I could talk to him as he worked, and today I have a "cankle" ( my ankle is as fat as my calf). I know in the realm of injuries this is nothing, but I'm not coping well.

Next Thurs. I go back to hospital for surgery to put a metal plate over the broken bone in my wrist. They said the healing time for that is much less than casting it.
