Boyfriend's injury solved

It was at exactly the height to cause his injury if he squeezed through. I've removed it so now have no worries it will happen again. It makes me feel ill just thinking about it, but something like this was about the most plausible explanation I could come up with. I'm so glad you found and removed it. Glass panes pretty much last forever - let's all be careful! I was pretty sure that broken glass had cause his injury but was not sure where it was. As he goes out into neighbouring gardens I was worried I might never know, but now I do. It's still a bit of a mystery, as I am sure I never put it there even intact, but hey, I found it. I am confident that pane of glass was the culprit. Broken into a point at exactly the right height that my beloved Boy's intestines were spilled out of his side. I was up at 11.40pm waiting for him (he'd only gone out at 9.30) and I rushed to the vets who saved him. Up until now, it's like it never happened, he's as well as he was before. |

What Evelyn meant was what you call a "garden" in the UK is the US equivalent of a "yard" which involves plant life. In my case, grass and shrubs. Not talking about paved or pavered spaces. Jill |

I really hadn't expected you would be, but it is good to know that you're up and about, even if just a bit for now. I am very fortunate to be alive. I refused to go to hospiatl for two weeks I understand. I avoided hospitals for 55 years, until I had a nosebleed I couldn't control. A week inside, and diagnosed with seriously high blood pressure. Now well controlled with meds. Glad to hear you saw sense in the end :-) I always think "oh, I'll be OK in a couple of weeks" This is the second time I wouldn't to to hospital with what turned out to be fractures - the first time was my shoulder. This time it could have been so potentially serious that I have promised Claire (my s-i-l) that I will never do it again. Bless her lovely heart, she came three times a day to look after me( and Boyfie and the chickens) while I sat in my chair saying "I'm sure I'll be fine soon" until I gave up and realised. Plus she visited me almost every day in hospital and came 3 times a day to make food for me and care for the animals when I came home, despite the fact that she works and has 3 children of school age with football and extra-curricular stuff. And she is afraid of birds, so looking after the chickens was a challenge for her but she managed it. I am able to cook for myself now but Claire still comes every other day to clean out the chicken hut before she goes to work. I hope I will be able to do it myself soon. She does it with such good grace. Nothing is too much trouble - I only have to ask and she will do it, which makes me want to do things myself now, if you see what I mean. I wish I had such a sweet temperament as she has. Tweed |
