Yes...I had a platy get caught in a piece of cholla wood. (cholla is a type of cactus here).
She had her head out one side and her tail out the other. I cut the wood apart, but she was terribly injured and died that night.
This is the cholla, since removed from the tank, and the fish might be the one that died. She's very pregnant in this picture!View attachment 268668
That's very sad, did you keep any of her babies?

Oh, do take it slow, Lyn! I can imagine how it is for you, but do take small steps at a time.
Thank you Lena, I will,
I haven't actually managed to find a shoe comfortable enough to wear yet.
Most of my shoes have a medium heel - which is great for keeping the pain in the left foot at bay, but not so good for the right foot at the moment.
I may be destined to wear odd shoes for the rest of my days!!;):)
I've been wearing odd slippers in the house this last week but no one sees that.

I miss Maggie being about. She sent me a really lovely email after Joe died. I still like to think that Joe and Bob are off creating havoc together wherever they ended up on the other side of the rainbow bridge :)

Send her my love too :)
@Yvonne G I remember the story of Bob dragging a sprinkler (? a hose?) all the way into his hide? Please say hi to Maggie, Yvonne. :)

I am going to say goodnight now.
My nasty neighbours are having a new fence tomorrow and I need to be up and ready to make sure they don't try to cross the boundary.
Don't trust them at all!!!
So Nos Da all and take care
See you soon.
Good luck, Lyn. Thinking of you.

It was lovely hearing you again, Bee! :<3:
Can't sleep. Went to bed at 10p and finally got up at 12:30a to sit at the computer. I don't usually have trouble falling asleep, and can sleep anywhere, but for some reason my mind is wide awake tonight.
Maybe the caffeine still in your system?
Hopefully you'll be able to have a nap later when you're ready.

Sounds like some internet shoe shopping may be needed in the coming weeks...
It's a pity no one gave the nasty neighbors the boot... :<3:

Good mornooning, roommates!

Sunny and cold in Denmark. We also moved the clock one hour forward, for what it's worth. Some postcards from Saturday, a walk in the cemetery called Vestre Kirkegård. A lot of people go for walks in the cemeteries, which are pretty much large, beautiful parks with some graves. Many even sunbathe or have a picnic there.

(No postcards from Sunday, as I had to stay home in bed with migraine:()
