Finally released from the hospital. No blood clots and no fracture in the bone. He said stay off of the leg as much as I can. And alternate heat and cold on the hematoma.
Dear Ray,

You must be so relieved but exhausted to get home. Do you have to take any antibiotics?

We are headed to New England Ray....New Harbor Maine.
When i was 5 or 6 years old our parents took us to go see the bridge at Concord where the Minutemen stood their ground, Plymouth rock and other sites in Massachusetts. We camped at Pine Wood Way campground where I learned how to catch turtles with a fish line and bacon. I must have caught a half dozen. I checked yesterday and the campground is still there, 60 years later! I looked on their website...the pond is still there too but now you have to buy a " "privlidge pass" from the town to walk on the shore of the pond. Yeah right! We won't be spending a dime in Massachusetts. They do it to themselves...LOL

Gorgeous! Are you sure there aren't anymore Ray🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣? Now how are the Gophers getting on 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣?

Natrah
I am hoping that's it. The first clutch of eggs were soft or broken. The next 2 nests don't look to be disturbed. Who knows maybe she snuck one in. Without me noticing. The Gopher tortoise nest is due around October 1st. Soon I will start watching. I should get ambition and set up a camera.

Natrah
No antibiotics, there wasn't any open wounds. So I guess maybe that's why I didn't get any. Chances are I wouldn't take them. My thought pattern has always been. Don't take antibiotics, so I don't become immune to them. So when I really need them. Hopefully the results of using antibiotics will have the best outcome.
While just writing that about my reasoning for not using antibiotics. I was thinking that I would get the full effect when I got older. Well I am older now 🤣 guess it's time to use if needed. 🤣

Good afternoon everyone!

Some time ago I posted about a sad incident in one of my local parks in which a young girl passed away after being crushed by a partially fallen tree. I am pleased to say that the other young girl who was seriously injured is now stable 😀.

Ding, ding ding . . . and there"s the hematoma. So much better than a fracture or a clot.....................! That's welcome news....Just take it easy Ray! 🔨

I was supposed to get a doctors opinion on my blood tests last Thursday, and I never got one. Now I have been waiting on an answer in a chat for 2 hours about whether or not the doctor has looked at my blood tests...
I gave up. Let's see if they get back to me or whether I will try again tomorrow.

I remember a certain someone begging for antibiotics last year when they got bitten by a spider don't I? LOL

Proud of you 4T for bailing on the chat today. The challenges are different today but most doctors are still a pain in the bum. Lol...."get married, ask wife to make all those calls for you" is one solution however it's probably a lot easier for you just to call them back. Good luck on your test results.

Thank you Natrah, they have moved me to a makeshift emergency area. People coughing, and sneezing. Others are whining about their pains. I still haven't been View attachment 394567seen. This is so disappointing and this is the better hospital of the 2 in this area. I am about to leave this place.
That's the kind of thing going on at our hospital too. It's like they've lost their minds.

Jeff, I think you have the antibiotics confused with pain killers. 😂😂
I believe there is a medicine for confusion and forgetfulness.
I just can't remember at the moment. 🤣

I'm sorry I laughed but it's kinda another example of did you even look at me? I'm usually sitting down. But that's very good. Yeah 👍 it'll make both you and Rose worry less and all of us too 😘. Especially since it's been a couple of days and still nothing.

That's been my way of thinking too and it's probably payed off. But even now they hesitate to give me one because of the type of colitis I have. They did this time with the shingles that's not acting like it's supposed to. . At one point I was on 2 but I've never had them so I'm sure they did the job.

I hope you eventually got to talk to someone Edward's Servant. I hope you're okay.
