OP
After two canceled surgeries due to her cardiologist having questions, Linda finally had her reverse shoulder procedure last week. The incision size was a major surprise to say the least. The surgeon, or should I call him the rebuilder, says the procedure went very well. Currently she wears a funky looking cast with a large pillow attached to help support the arm. Last night she removed it to sleep, and today she only used it when doing the PT.
All tanks lost a water change during the period. Today I did smallish water changes on all tanks with the exception of the ones that were scheduled for today. They received generous water changes and light vacuuming. The changes took most of the day because I needed more water than the heater could provide at one time.
Near tragedy in the pond. The past two days we had very strong winds 25 MPH and gusts that night have hit 50MPH. Thunder and lightning too. Our large fountain dislodged from its mooring and drifted to the side of the pond spewing water to the outside. I noticed it Sunday. Anyway, about a third of the water was gone. I disconnected the fountain from power and decided to let the artesian flow refill the pond. It has regained its volume and is again overflowing to the bog and dry riverbed. All is well and it could have been much worse.
Linda is thrilled with her chicks. They are currently in a brooder on the porch but will be moved to the coop this upcoming weekend. One of the Leghorns and two of Plymouths expired. We will have fresh eggs in about 6 - 7 months. Most of the Plymouths will be raised to 6 to 7 pound then into the freezer. I will have to dust off the chicken plucker before fall.
We now have two pairs of Angel Fish and three loners. We will be keeping the pairs and trading in the three loners shortly. Tomorrow the female Veiltail Betta will be put in with the male. Linda will be staring at that tank all day I imagine.
Next up -- My back. Paperwork has been sent to the imaging joint, and I have an appointment for June 4th (if I remember right). I am expecting surgery before the year is out. I will soldier thru till late fall however.
