HELP..... I NEED EMERGENCY HELP.... I NEED TO WRITE A BLOG FOR EXPLORE-- THEY HAVE A NEW WEB... AND ONE OF THE THINGS THEY WANT IS WHAT DIFFERENCE EXPLORE MAKES TO SDP...
WHICH I CAN DO
NOW WHAT I WOULD LIKE YOU TO DO IS TO SEND ME A LIST OF THE THINGS WATCHING OUR CAMERAS HAS DONE FOR YOU OR TAUGHT YOU THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW YOU NEEDED TO KNOW .
COME ON ,..... I NEED A LONG REAL...BUT ALSO FUNNY LIST --...PLANT GRASS 6 SEEDS TO THE INCH-- WHAT ELSE...I NEED THEM TODAY .. PLEASE EMAIL ME "STUFF" ANIMALEP@AOL.COM
FOR EXAMPLE......TODAYS LESSON.... IF YOU SEE A HORSE/DONKEY WHO DOES NOT REST WITH FRONT FEET RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER, GO CHECK THE FOOT STICKING OUT FORWARD COULD BE SORE OR LEG LAME. I JUST WENT AND LOOKED AT ALL OURS THIS MORNING.. THEY ARE FINE...I ALSO NOTED... NO FLY PROBLEM YET... I KNOW SOMEONE EMAILED ME SAYING WE SHOULD HAVE THE FLY BOOTS ON... BUT I DON'T SEE ANY REASON TO YET... JUST YOU WAIT... WHEN THE FLYS HATCH AND ATTACK THERE WILL BE NO QUESTION... LOWER LEGS CAN GET BLOODY... AND FLYS SEEM TO PREFER SOME HORSES OVER OTHERS... JUST LIKE FLYS PREFER SOME PILES OF DOGGIE DOO OVER OTHERS.
SEE NOW THERE IS ANOTHER THING YOU ALL HAVE LEARNED -- AND PLEASE KEEP IN MIND, JUST BECAUSE YOU LEARNED IT DOES NOT MEAN IT IS TRUE AND NEEDS NO FURTHER THOUGHT...
BEING TOLD SOMETHING NEVER MEANS YOU SHOULD STOP THINKING..... I HAD 2 YESTERDAY-
" GIVE HIM 10 DAYS OF THIS ANTIBIOTIC" -- OK SO WE DID THAT AND THE ANIMAL WAS NO BETTER-- THAT MEANS WE NEED TO REVISIT THE PROBLEM AND CHECK TO BE SURE WE ARE USING THE CORRECT ANTIBIOTIC-- AND SOMETIME THE WAY TO TELL IS TO HAVE A CULTURE TEST WHERE FOR EXAMPLE.....YOU SNEEZE OVER A PETRI DISH LACED WITH DIFFERENT PATCHES OF ANTIBVIOTICS AND SEE WHICH SAMPLE KILLS THE BUGS IN YOUR SNEEZE.. A CULTURE AND SENSATIVITY... TEST..
THE SECOND.... I MUST WRITE A LETTER... JANINE IS APPARENTLY FINE HAVING BEEN OPERATED ON AT 5:15 LAST NIGHT.... SHOULD BE HOME THIS MORNING.... WITH WANDA.----THERE HAD BEEN NO RUPTURE OF HER APPENDIX..
HOWEVER.... SHE WAS TOLD....."THEY" DID NOT KNOW IF IT WAS RUPTURED OR NOT... BECAUSE SHE--- BEING AN ATHLETE,--- HAS VIRTALLY NO BELLY FAT. HOWEVER...I WONDERED ALL DAY LONG.. I WAS VERY WELL BEHAVED AND DID NOT SAY ANYTHING AT THE TIME...SHE WAS NOT OPERATED ON ALL DAY BECAUSE "SHE WAS AN ADD ON" -- GRANTED THEY HAD ONLY ONE OPERATING ROOM... AND THEY COULD HAVE HAD 6 OTHER PATIENTS WIHO'S APPENDIX HAD ALREADY RUPTURED...
HOWEVER... IF JANINE 'S SURGERY WAS AN ADD ON... THT MEANS THAT THERE MUST HAE BEEN A LIST OF PRESCHEDULED SURGERIES ONTO WHICH SHE WAS ADDED..I WOULD THINK PRESCHEDULED SURGERIES MEANT THEY WERE NOT SPLIT SECOND EMERGENCIES... WHICH JANINE'S COULD HAVE BEEN... WHERE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A "NORMAL APENDIX " OPERATION AND A RUPTURED ONE COULD BE LIFE THREATENING. SHE WAS HEAVILY MEDICATEED AND DIDN'T KNOW IF SHE WAS ON FOOT OR HORSEBACK...AND THE NURSE KEPT TELLING ME "SHE HAS TO WAIT... SHE IS AN ADD ON..." ...AS WITH THE VA.-- SO I AM TOLD ..... PERSONELL CAN GET VERY ACCUSTOMED TO EMERGENCIES AND DISHING OUT PAIN KILLERS CERTAINLY IS A WAY OF SAYING "WAIT"
I HELD MY BREATH AND DID NOT SAY A WORD...... BUT NOW I NEED TO ASK ABOUT THAT "ADD ON "POLICY OF THE HOSPITAL ... CERTAINLY FROM WHERE I SIT, THERE IS A LOGIC PROBLEM... OR .. TRIAGE PROTOCOL .. ... MAYBE I AM ALL WET... I HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO BE MANY TIMES... I HAVE TO ASK... IF NOT ME... THEN WHO?

THAT IS ALSO A CASE FOR MORE BELLY FAT-- SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING I CAN REALLY PROMOTE...
WELLLLLLL... I REMEMBER A COMMENT MADE BY A SURGEON FRIEND-- SOMETHING ABOUT SLIPERY , GREASEY GLOVES WHEN OPERATING ON BELLY FAT... I HAD NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT BEFORE...

MOVING ON....
HOT WEATHER...I HAVE A STORY ABOUT HOT WEATHER AND HORSE EVENTS.....I WAS INVOLVED IN GROTON HOUSE FARM HORSE TRIALS ( GOOGLE THAT ONE http://www.grotonhousefarm.com/ ) WHICH IS COMING UP SOON...JUNE 23? HORSES GALLOPING ALL OVER "THE WINTHROP PLACE" PUBLIC WELCOME-
ANYWAY... ONE YEAR IT WAS SOOOOOOO HOT AND WE HAD HUNDREDS OF HORSES AND RIDERS TO COOL OFF SOMEHOW.. IT WAS DECIDED WE SHOULD GET SOME ICE --- WE HAD EXHAUSTED ALL THE LOCAL MARKETS OF BAGS FULL....--- I KNEW OF A PLACE TO GET QUANTITIES OF ICE IN GLOUCESTER.. IT IS WHERE THE FISHING BOATS PULL IN AND THEY DROP CRUSHED ICE INTO THOSE BOATS AND TRUCKS...
I WENT-- WITH MY NORMAL PICKUP- AND BACKED UNDER THE CHUTE-- I WENT TO THE WINDOW TO PAY.. AND HE SAID HOW MUCH?... I DID NOT HAVE A CLUE WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT-- I KNEW I HAD A 1 TON PICKUP WITHHEAVY SPRINGS BECAUSE OF THE HORSE TRAILER I USUALLY PULLED-- SO I SAID 1.5 TONS-- HE NEVER EVEN SMILED BUT PULLED A LEVER AND I GOT 1.5 TONS.
SO YOUR OTHER FACT TO LEARN TODAY IS IF YOU TRY AND PUT 1.5 TONS OF SHREADED ICE IN A PICKUP, IT WILL BE TOTALLY COVERED AND YOU WILL HAVE TROUBLE GETTING IN THE DOOR.
