these buns going home today will pay for Aprils feed and possibly a little of...
well, about 2/3rds the way done with the roof insulation.
got a layer on the roof, but it was too hard to reach the peaks so instea of doing 2 layers between the 2 roof tarps I did 1, got the 2nd roof tarp (which has NO holes in it) on and tightend down...and am adding the 2nd layer of...
it is...she doesn't tear things up so much as she paces the line an has torn up/kille the gass in that spot.
ive put up a temp fence around the berries so they will be safe until they get established...after that hoping the combination of size and thorns will keep her off the fence lol.
picked...
I realy do, wish my body was just a little more co-operative about it...but it certainly could be worse lol.
found a couple sheets of foam core insulation in the shed...1 more piece should do the back side that I need to have done before I can move buns in (that's the side I wont be able to get...
mum was ok with placement, dads not impressed but hell get over it. got the 1st layer of tarps on the wall against the fence, that's going to get a layer of reflective foam insulation and a 2nd layer of tarps and get battend down TIGHT.
the roof got chewed up by mice so has a few holes...so...
I did it...
I made progress...
im now taking a coffee break, it took more out of me than it should but the frame is up.
I decided to put it behind the shed/duck coop, and I decided to leave the bottom 1/2 of the legs off...
seems strange to say that, but its one of those shelter logic 10x20's...
well today is actually quite nice, were supposed to be heading to the 60's and are currently hovering in the low 40's
its sunny, most of the April Fools snow has melted and mum seems onboard with my plan to move the rabbitry down close to the house. (this is a yay win for me a sit would make...
thanks, shes home, shes doing ok, though is bored and thus driving us nutty...but least shes home and generally well.
leg swelling is still pretty bad, but that's going to just take time...she has multiple clots in the lungs (left behind from the original DVT that they didn't remove and didn't...
well, some possibly good news, she reached therapudic levels last night and they have weaned her off the heprin and onto jut Coumadin today...
and the infection in the leg has responded well to antibiotics...
there is actually talk of her possibly mabe coming home tomorrow.
dads going to try and...
thanks, dad had her on Skype this morning and he seems a little more chipper...
in good news her heart is great and they tested her for cancer too and that has come back completely clear.
and the infection in her thigh is aparenlty looking less angry today so the antibiotics do seem to be working.
thanks, dads on his way home, late night for him...
shes got a cellulitis infection in her thigh so 2 different antibiotics being started for that...they've put her back on heprin and there talk of rehab facilities which is freeking her out more, she ust wants to come home....
but part of me is...
and then another wrench...
apparently dad got word that some of the clot they left in mums leg has traveled to the lungs...at least as of right nowwe think they are travelers and not new clots...(she on blood thinners so should not be forming new clots)
seems they are small enough that they are...
dad said ok to donating half on the full set up and ive found someone interested in taking the one with the cracked rim for the same price I paid for it meaning I onl have to find $25 and will have the full setup for mum to start allover again on lol.
should be going to pick it up tomorrow...
well tried to fix the spot I had to tear out...
not only cant I get it to fit right I moved my arm funny and the center brace snapped...
im not sure I want to risk putting water in that now so...
gonna pull out all the stuff I did, see what I can salvage if anything, clean up any residual...
rocks (of all colors) are pretty dang meaty n their own, so I cant see why combining the larger breast and faster growth of a pure Cornish to a nice ual purpose rock would be a bad thing...
the only reason white rocks were use is because its much easier to dress out white birds (lighter...
yup, sand, usually play or pool filter sand grain cant be too small cause it would fly all over the tank, but too big and its too heavy...
the mechanism itself is super simple, its essentially a modified under gravel filter. tube with an intake at the bottom and 2 outlets at the top, 1 facing...

thank you!!!
still cautiously optimistic today, they had her up to ultrasound this morning and thigns are looking good...they arnt sure yet if they want to let what left of the clots try to dissolve on their own or go back in after whats left, but as of right now there doesn't seem to be any...
FEM that's exactly how itll happen...shell come home shell be mostly reocverd life will start getting back to normal and suddenly everything will become real and hit me like a ton of bricks...My therapist explained it as a sort of fight or flight instinct...I am not the personality type to light...
