Almost Self-Reliant
That is what I really wanted... what I have had for years. In fact, I found a brand new just $1200 more than this used 2horse so I will be going out of town to get it next week hopefull
We had to call an ambulance to help with my mom... her knees are shot. As I said before, she is morbidly obese. Well several years ago when Buford was a young dog, he and 2 of my Australian Cattle Dogs were playing and ran in to my mom - knocked her down and broke both bones in her lower leg. The docs were so concerned about an insulin dependent diabetic having broken bones they never checked her knee... it was shredded. She had problems with her other knee where 1) my old horse knocked her down (see a theme?) and she had a green stick fracture, then 2) her own van somehow slipped into gear and backed over her, dragging her across the chainlink gate it knocked down as it was rolling. So her knees are shot, she is overweight (gained most of it since wheelchair bound) and she fell yesterday and landed on her knees.
This morning she couldn't get out of bed. She could move around to sit on the edge of the bed, but couldnt' stand on her own at all and only a few seconds with assistance. So some of our good ol' boy firefighters and our EMS crew came to teh rescue, again. I have gathered up her stuff and waiting for my sister to call and say if she needs a ride before I head to the hospital. I have done way too much lifting, pulling and pushing and I am sore too, now.
Prayers and positive thoughts, shining lights and candles appreciated
