WE DID IT !!
April was
let into the paddock with Artist on July 28th!
Mind you –
April turns 16 months old on August 1st. Artist is now 18 months old.
Both are
Virgins. Ha! I’m just excited and wait with a thrill in my
heart to see what new little bundle will arrive next year!
I am downright amazed by how sweet and polite Artist is with April. He's a perfect gentleman. Not showing the least amount of aggressiveness to get what he wants. Perfectly happy to allow her to call the shots. Very loving toward her!
Ya' hardly even know he's around anymore! He's so calm!
Prior to
having my surgery - I experienced an entirely different outlook from others
about post-op expectations compared to all that has transpired - in my case anyway.
With only
having Dwayne and I to run this place – it had me pretty scared.
I know what
I take care of around here. And I knew
Dwayne had no idea. At the same time – I
was worried about my husband trying to take care of – everything. Not just all my load. He has his own load around here – relative to
the tractor. And power tools.
I’m so glad
I feel as good as I feel today. As usual
– getting off the pain pills was easy for me.
I hate those things. Can I just
be honest here? I will never understand anybody
wanting to become addicted to anything having the power to flat-dab plug your
ass up forever!
The looks on
faces when being told to make sure I don’t use my hand – had me thinking it
would be a horrible temptation. But when
the future depends on my hands – I’m not gonna screw with a Doctor’s orders.
Are there
really people out there that blow it off and do so anyway?
Anyway – the
surgeon was very pleased with the results.
He decided to inform me that he was most worried about my thumb. He was afraid I would be losing use of it –
because I was well on the way with ‘ Level 4 ‘ of the 4 levels he uses for
measuring severity of Carpal Tunnel cases.
Never thought I'd ever see a day when I'd feel this way, but...
I’m happy to
be able to brush my teeth – brush my hair and eat with my left hand again!

So glad you are taking things slow and things are going well for you! :-))
Oh boy I hope you get your thumb back.
I too hate to take medicine and don't understand people who like to live on the stuff.
Work aside, I love the farm life.
