Rick's going to see if he can be here to help, but they don't know him and he's not very patient….<br /><br />Not being able to monitor Annabelle personally is one of the harder parts of my activity restrictions; I'm going to either drive or crutch myself down to check on her sometime today.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-78447326857465921882014-03-10T13:05:39.486-07:002014-03-10T13:05:39.486-07:00Oh Michelle, I feel for you, really ...... sort of...Oh Michelle, I feel for you, really ...... sort of in the same boat, took a nose dive yesterday on a concrete slab, seriously nose dive, bloody nose, two black eyes, swollen right hand and knee, appointment with the tax preparer next Monday and shearer in 2 weeks, and a house that needs a serious cleaning ..... house is going to have to wait, take care, still waiting to hear about all your new ewe lambs.Tombstone Livestockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07022776395762826903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-67366460865496443282014-03-10T11:57:49.613-07:002014-03-10T11:57:49.613-07:00Thanks, Nancy Kay, I'm very happy with the swe...Thanks, Nancy Kay, I'm very happy with the sweater. I used up the last of the yarn to make an i-cord belt/tie; I should take another photo.<br /><br />Thank-you for your words of wisdom, Fiona; I really am trying to be good. Not only does it REALLY hurt if I'm not good, I am highly motivated to heal up and get back in the saddle, among other things.<br /><br />Noelle, I'm afraid I'm not very graceful with crutches, and using them is aggravating my frozen shoulder. But it did help to get them adjusted to the right height; duh!<br /><br />And thanks ALL for any prayers! I am praying I can learn whatever lessons God has for me in this situation QUICKLY. ;-)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-37534875922741979162014-03-10T11:08:47.664-07:002014-03-10T11:08:47.664-07:00There is never a good time Michelle but take care!...There is never a good time Michelle but take care!

And if you're all watching me to make sure I'm good, who's going to watch Annabelle for lambing signs??? And the farrier is coming Wednesday to trim horse hooves and shear sheep. Rick told me not to cancel that appointment – yet.
