wait!!!?? Where are you going?

I was kidnapped!! True story! ?

 

[CarolM]

Hello my lovely friend.

Hi Cathie. Sorry I have not been on here. I was kidnapped by life. ?

Anyway here is a puppy pic.

Okay you twisted my arm. Here are a few since I missed a good couple of days.

 

[CarolM]

I fell and fractured my left wrist and right knee cap. Yesterday was surgery to plate the wrist. I'm home now.

Did it all go well. How ate the wrist and knee doing now.?

 

[CarolM]

yes but I got one of those husbands where he was so nice IN THE BEGINNING AMD turned..? Now everything is ALWAYS about him...
If you have surgery he goes on all day about how bad his back hurts....
It made me want to break a 2x4 across his back! Then I would listen...
If your stomach has staples in it he has a bad headache....
Again..... a 2x4 across the head might set him straight????
Opinions??
??

Time for a change??????

Here’s the latest pictures of my little Chihuahua mix taking a nap. She likes to wrap her face and nose with her feet when she’s sleeping and she likes to put her head on pillows.

Aawww. She is just too cute

 

[CarolM]

He was being dragged by his head and neck across my yard to be eaten. he was limp and bumping along the rocks in my yard as the coyote drag them along. My lab who recently passed away who’s picture is my profile pic was trying to stop the coyote and it got my attention. I thought Harry was dead. He went into shock and he had liver issues for a while. Where the fang marks penetrated he grows long hair and the rest of it is nearly bald and still has the same shave markings that he had a year ago. Nobody knows why the hair won’t grow because the skin is intact.

Maybe the shock has caused the problems with his hair growth. Poor thing.

 

[CarolM]

I am not joking. I had to kick at the coyote in the nuts. He would not drop the dog and I was worried he was going to attack my lab who is 15 years old at the time and had only a few teeth left. I’m lucky he didn’t attack me but I wasn’t thinking about it at the time. It used to be back in the day those coyotes would run away when you yell and flap your arms at a minutes not happening anymore. They’re very bold. I had slippers on so I was pretty ineffective and if I really had to attack him I think I would’ve had a huge problem but he dropped the dog and ran for the citrus and I never looked back just hustled the dogs in. I found out Harry was alive when I scooped up his so-called body and he started viciously biting me which was the biggest injury I got from the whole fiasco. I am sure the coyote thought I was nuts.

Good for you. Take no prisoners.

Hello all

Life got a bit chaotic. Sorry for my absence. There’s probably far too much for me to catch up on. My Immediate concern is to find out how @EllieMay ’s daughter is. And also to catch up on @Yvonne G ’s progress.

When I left you, my mother in law had been admitted to hospital having had a pulmonary embolism. She was discharged last week at first in complete denial that she needed to do anything other than take pills.

By the weekend her tune had changed. She admitted that hospital without visitors and with staff in full PPE was an awful place and she never wants to go in again. She also admitted that she had been told that she must exercise daily ... and it seems Father in Law has finally succeeded in forcing her out of a chair and out of the house to take walks.

As soon as MiL was discharged, Daughter, who moved home the weekend before last because she is to be based in a different office, got sick. She started complaining of dizzy spells and then it quickest got a whole lot worse. The room was spinning constantly, she couldn’t move without vomiting. She couldn’t close her eyes without it getting worse. Even trying to chew food made it worse. The drugs she was given were useless because she vomited them straight back up.

She had a telephone appointment with the doctor and then blood tests and a face to face appointment with the doctor and was diagnosed with labyrinthitis. We have had a rough week. By Friday the room merely swayed constantly rather than span and yesterday the room stayed still as long as she was too. Today she is improved again, but still has a way to go. She won’t be returning to work this week.

With JoesDad working from home, I was at least able to still do my rescue shifts and my online yoga class.

The exciting news is that I am to be filmed for a television programme on Tuesday. A daytime property programme called Escape to the Country will be filming at the rescue; the show tries to find a property for a couple looking to move to a rural home and they always have a segment on something that might interest the couple in the area they want to move to. I’ve been asked me to show the couple what it’s like to be a volunteer at the rescue; we’ll be cleaning out hedgehogs apparently

Now I must call my Mum, but I’ll be back later

Oh get kidnapped and the world falls apart. ??
I am glad your Mom in law is seeing the light, but not so much about your daughter. I hope she is feeling better now. And congratulations on the filming. How did it go?

 

[CarolM]

I got so aggravated with negative TV today that I went searching on the guide for anything uplifting and funny. Speaking of ?s. I did find Duck Dynasty and somehow felt at home.

Damn Ducks.!!!!

 

[CarolM]

Omg! Shes gonna be taking care of u by the time u get outa there ? sending hugs Mags! Hope ur finger feels better soon?

And the toes. Don't forget about the toes.

 

[CarolM]

aaahhhh.... yes thank you. The smells are of roses from the heavens!
I had to do it myself today. I did however where my back brace.. so ... somehow by the grace of god .. I did it! ?
By the way... did I mention I have a bigger than normal sulcata?
yea, it IS a girl but the vet says she is 100+
Lbs. but I know girls only get to be 80+ lbs.
the doctor is clearly wrong but here’s a picture so you can guess for me?

Wow. She is a big girl.

 

[CarolM]

I have been dealing with my struggles. Pain wears me down mentally and physically. I had Opo dig me a burrow. Thought I would try that instead of the hole in the wall.?

Shame I feel your pain Opo. Not nice at all.

 

[Amron]

Good mornynoon, Rooommates!
Today is World Smile Day.

Agent Jason @Chubbs the tegu's Mission was to say he'd missed someone or something having been away for a while.
Mission Accomplished.

Wow. Okay I am going to have to say 47! As I did not realise it until you pointed it out. ??

 

[Amron]

My guess would be superfluous.

?

 

[CarolM]

Good Morning Y'all just another backward day with a juicy 0400 AM start!

I would never survive for long.

 

[CarolM]

Good evenooning all. Long day at the rescue as it was all hands on deck making things as presentable as possible for tomorrow. I have an early start tomorrow morning... 6am. The tv crew arrives at 8.30 and we need to clean out and feed as much as possible where they will be filming as we cannot have our patients going hungry!

I’ve ben asked to wear my rescue t shirt which is fine except it’s white... what can possibky go wrong? ??

I am sure that it was a breeze for you.

 

[CarolM]

Thank you for your kind words. I will try to answer your questions in order.. AS I AM LYING IN BED RIGHT NOW!! Can you believe it!!??
It is only because my husband went grocery shopping.. he IS good at that..(maybe the cashier is pretty?)
Good that means he’ll be out longer..?
Ok..here goes..
Her name is Sally . It was salvador but later we found out she was a GIRL.?
She is going on 23years old..
She started having a weird butt problem (like having trouble laying an egg) and that’s where the tubbies started, just kept them going ever since.??
I use a thing like they would use to pick up dolphins ?. It wraps around and then you pick that up and swing it over and let her softly slide into the tub..I know...I know...
I MUST BE CRAZY..
but like you ...I found her in a 10gallon tank in the basement of a pet store all in the dark. She was just a 4month old baby.
She was only seated on mulch in the middle of the tank. I thought she was a rock!? No lamps no hiding place no nothing.
I just couldn’t leave her there..
The guy also lied and said she would only grow as big as your for arm..
When I went back to question him... they were out of business..
Her and I get along like peas and carrots.
But again like you.. I might have started looking at fish if I had known what I know now.. but I would not give her up even for chocolate now!!
I got myself into this and I can’t let her down.. so... I guess day by day is all I can handle till things change again.
I am sorry the story is so long but I’m not a very good writer to shorten it or any of the other long stories I post on here. ???? sorry everybody!!!! ?

I love love your long stories. You may post as many as you like.

 

[CarolM]

Whatever...does that mean!????

Thank goodness someone else thought that too.
