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.

There is an old saying: "If you want something done, ask a busy person."

I guess that is true -- they are the doers. Purrs for your "wildlife" to
be healthy and safe while you are laid up. MLB

We have been friends for more than 20 years through our mutual interest in
whippets. 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.

She sounds like a saint. She also sounds like just what you need right now.

I'm glad the date is set and it will be over with fairly soon. I'm also
glad you can rest easy, knowing your critters will be well cared for.

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.

Purrs for your op to be successful with a quick recovery and purrs to
June as well for being such a good friend.

It feels like it's been a long time waiting, but thank goodness it's
soon now. Coincidentally, November 23rd will be on American
Thanksgiving this year. We'll toast to your health.

So glad you have a reliable carer for your chickens and cats. 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.
