OT, new operation date
Will be November 23 as an inpatient at a different hospital. My family are
not coming up good to help me - too busy at work and with their young children. Thank goodness for my friend, June. She phoned me tonight, she will feed and water my chickens every day and feed the cats for as long as is necessary and will come for weeks to put 56lb sacks of chicken food into my barrels where I store it so I don't have to lift them myself. It's not as if she doesn't have enough to do, herself. She has lots of dogs, a useless husband who seems unable to stir his own teacup and her father is in a home and she visits him daily. I think she might be a saint. Tweed |

We spent a lot of time together in the 80's/90's and we have kept in touch ever since. She has spent time with horses, and handled the stallions while mating, for almost everyone in this district. My slightly fierce cockerels are not likely to be a problem to her. Tweed |

I'm also glad you can rest easy, knowing your critters will be well cared for. Joy |

Purrs for your "wildlife" to be healthy and safe while you are laid up. MLB I worked with a woman who was not only the full time database administrator at the office, she ran a farm. She raised horses, cattle, chickens and at one time even a couple of emus. She sewed most of her own (including lined suit jackets and skirts) and her childrens clothing. When she added onto the house she did the plumbing and wiring herself (she did hire some guys to do the framing and the sheetrock). She cooked from scratch every day. She lives out in the country in another county so she drove about 80 miles to and from work. And she managed a rental house on some adjoining property so she got to deal with renters, too. I've NO idea how she did it all, but she did. And if anyone she knew needed help she was there to offer it, whatever it may be... meals, pet care, yard work, whatever. She was and still is a dynamo.

We'll toast to your health. |

It's always my biggest worry when I have to go to hospital, though I can usually rely on family to take care of the cats. Your friend does sound saintly. Many purrs will be coming for you on the 13th and onward. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.
