Hello everybody haven't been keeping up with the CDR for a few days. Still have problems sleeping some nights. The nerve pain in my amputated arm seems to be getting worse. Maybe because my pain in my leg is virtually gone. So that's all I focus on. Thinking about acupuncture. I slept all day a few days ago and so did Opo. My wife said Opo knew I wasn't feeling good. LOL
Anyways hopefully no one had any negative things happen to them .

I got a phone call last night for a new critter.. Someone in Arkansas has an adult bearded dragon that they can’t keep. Someone thought of me:)) I am going to go pick it up hopefully this afternoon if I can get off work on time:) Pics to follow!

This deal fell through. I hope it’s a good thing for the beardie. He belongs to a minor who’s mother has had enough of the lack of care being given. I think they are going to give it another shot.

Ray I didn’t know you had your arm amputated, may I ask why that happened?:(

Hey Ray! It’s good that your not feeling the leg pain. Hopefully you can get the arm sorted out too... I can’t imagine.... [emoji20].....
Maybe Opo slept enough to keep you company in some of your sleepless moments:)))

It's the right hand and wrist. I also have my right leg amputated above the knee. It happened in 2015 in a vehicle accident. When I finally got home I bought my sully Opo and then found TFO. Both have been great for my recovery :)

When I first found the CDR. It started me at the first post from @Tidgy's Dad . So I kept reading about 2 pages and then realized I was reading old posts. The posts were funny and off the wall :) So with that in mind I was posting off the wall stories. Then I realized it had changed somewhat in format. So I changed in ordinance with the forum now. There are still very funny posts but not quite off the wall the way I was writing. I cant imagine what the members here thought of my craziness. LOL

I have had acupunture after a few crashes with cars. I came back quicker with than without acupunture and regular physical therapy. I also did the cupping to trap blood in the area like a bruise to overoxygenate the area and would highly recommend both. The trick is finding a high quality acupunturist- I am lucky since my buddies sister did it. The acupressure massage was at the line between just right and painful. She can crack walnuts in her hand! Wish you well recovering

G’day all. Looks like we have a full house!

Just a gorgeous day here in Maryland. Yep, i got out on the water just after 7 for about four hours.... Very calm and peaceful. Even the migratory geese and swans and loons are gone. But, the Bald Eagles are all very present and the Osprey have returned from their winter vacation down in warmer areas.

And, some pix

So did you get your angel?
Yes. I found some conflicting info online today along with how to treat bottled spring water. (Not distilled). I'm getting closer to bringing home my betta. I saw one yesterday that was beautiful and to my surprise he leaped in the bowl he was in. I wanted him bad! He was an emerald green with blue fins and other colors and not expensive. If he's still there tomorrow I don't know if I'll be able to resist. There's beautiful costlier bettas there but he caught my attention.

Bettas are stunning fish, I’d love to see some pictures of yours. In the UK I see lots of ragged looking bettas in places like “Pets at home”. It’s sad really as they are such majestic creatures.

Maybe some real info from you can help also. If she asks. It sounds like she cares.

I'm just cycling my first aquarium. My water tests perfect just a little hard. BUT I wanted to understand the water first so I waited. Soon...

Beautiful pics! I love eagles but osprey are my favorite. I love watching them dive from the sky to catch dinner. I've tried to get a picture of it but never was able to.
