Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Good luck, ABC. Hope they can improve your hearing.

Jude, fingers crossed you get a good report today!

Dill, you'll do just fine!

Rava, any more thoughts on getting a pup?

Headed back to see family today and have lunch at the Olive Mill. It's a working olive grove mill and the food is wonderful. Yum!

I'll take another!

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Good morning Cafe. Dill, the president Yikes, Im sure you will do a great job! Jude, hope that boot comes off soon!!! Ginger, no thoughts of pups. I got a cute stuffed dog that I got a collar and name tag and I move her all over the condo. Kinda like faking my mind. Much easier than a real dog. LOL. Cowboy sounds like a medical day for you ahead. We are still having no sunshine here. Makes for a depressed mood. But no drinking for me. It’s been almost 3 weeks since my descent into hell. Not wanting any kind of repeat behavior….. Techie, please check in! QW also please check in. OK off to get a hair cut. 24 more please and thank you!!

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Thank you all for your votes of confidence. The term will last for a hear and a half. I'll do my best.

I hope your hearing aid appointment goes well, Cowboy.

Wish the sun would come out from behind those clouds for you Rava!

24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

[abcowboy]

That sounds like a great place to eat [MENTION=20929]Ginger999[/MENTION]!

My hearing got a little bit worse since my last test but she was able to adjust my existing hearing aids to compensate. She did say that it would be soon time for new ones and did up a quote for me, $5595! Hopefully I can get by with my old ones for a little while yet.

Hope we all have a fantastic Friday and weekend!

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Good morning Cafe. Wow Cowboy, glad you can make do with the existing hearing aides. More clouds and rain today for sunny Florida. We are stuck in some El Ni?o pattern or something the weather forecaster says. Nothing exciting happening but I am staying sober. Hope everyone has a great friday! 24 more please and thank you

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Cowboy, I am so glad your hearing specialist was able to tweak your current hearing aid to compensate for your increased loss. I am so grateful for the technology in the hearing aid industry. Mr. D has some really good hearing aids and he can actually direct the TV sound directly to his hearing aids using blue tooth. He can crank up the volume to his aids and leave the level going into the room generally to a comfortable level for everyone else. His hearing loss is severe.

Jude, quiet and uneventful are both good with me! This morning I started my day looking for cooked carrot recipes that mimic the Cracker Barrel carrots. I'm going to make some but I'm trying to decide if I should go with the stove top prep or a crockpot recipe. I bet your life is more exciting than mine!

24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Greetings everyone! I'll take another.

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Well, my doctor says that I need to wear the boot for another month, but I can take it off occasionally and walk without it. Not what I wanted to hear, but at least I can drive my car again. Yay!

It's snowing here and we are expecting 5-8 inches, but that's nothing compared to the four feet they got just north of us.

Today's plan is to sit by the woodstove and knit. No booze will cross these lips today!

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Jude, it's great news that you will be able to drive and to go bootless for short periods. It's not the total freedom you hoped for, but it's definitely in the right direction! I'll be sitting by the wood stove today too.

Two nights ago when I went out to the barn to feed Pumpkin he did not act himself. He showed little interest in his food and had little energy. The next day when I went out to check on him and feed him, He did not make a sound or come out to greet me. I called and finally heard a response and found him curled up in his cat box unwilling to come out. We got him out and examined him. He was in a bad way. We called the vet and thankfully they took him as an emergency appointment. Well, it turns out that he had a blockage of the urethra which the vet said is actually fairly common in male cats. The build up of toxins in his system was severe. His potassium levels were so high he would have likely died, but the vet was able to clear the blockage and he is in the hospital for the weekend. She says we will not know until Monday the extent of the damage to his kidneys and he is still not out of the woods. The high potassium levels could also have caused heart damage. So, fingers crossed for Pumpkin. I don't like to think about what may have happened if I had been drinking.

24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Good morning Cafe. Dill, I hope Pumpkin heals quickly with no further problems. Yikes things would have been different if you were drinking. Jude, so glad that you only have that boot for another month. Being able to take it off briefly will be great! Heading out to a yard sale early this morning looking for absolutely nothing I need. LOL. Hope everyone has a great day. Another 24 for me please.

5:25am in Alberta, I'll have 24 more please, and thanks...

That's not the worst news [MENTION=24080]Jude58[/MENTION], at least you can get out and about a bit more. I'm sure if it were me, the boot would be off more than it was on in the next month lol.

Sounds like you got Pumpkin to the vet just in time [MENTION=7944]dill[/MENTION]! Hopefully any damage done isn't too severe.

I enjoy going to yard and garage sales as well [MENTION=24196]Rava[/MENTION]. You know what they say, one man's junk is another man's treasure lol.

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Dill, I'm so sorry. I'll be sending kitty prayers for Pumpkin. 😻

Jude, glad you'll get a little boot reprieve at least and be able to drive a little. Does it hurt to walk without the boot?

Stay warm everyone! I'll take another.
