06-18-05  08:07, Wayne Chirnside told James Bradley about Hello!?

->  How do, Wayne?

 WC> A bit better.

Beats a kick in the teeth!
 WC> Two bones broke in my foot due to my lack of mobility.
 WC> They've been breaking one or two a year the last 6 years or so.

You know... Laying down after some exercise, I'll release N- in two toe
knuckles. If I don't do it, I know it just will be worse in five minutes.
But every 90-100 seconds at it's worst. Comes a point they almost hurt like
a bone, but never a sustained hurt like a break.

I have had at least three broken toe sessions, that I could recall which
bones broke, (One time did have more than two breaks. Like one of those
ankle bones, connected to the toe bones.) The real bitch, is the oak
(...Solid OAK!) face plate from the front of our kitchen sinks, pendulums
down, and catches my big toe nail before anything hits the floor. I didn't
know to press on it.

By the time I finished work, I had a friend drag my carcass to emerg. I
dropped the bag of oats on the counter in step with the tunes... Didn't
expect a *thing*.
 WC> On the mend now much less painful.

Don Pardo... What does he win! (Just seen in a tag.) Had a kick butt day in
the greenhouse today.
 -> ...
 
 ->  WC> I know I saw a show on PBS where a prize horse had an impacted
 ->  WC> gastric - intestinal tract where they had to anethticize the horse,
 ->  WC> open him up, physically cut open the intestines then rinse out
 ->  WC> the impaction!                                 
 ->  WC> Don't knw if this is any kind of comparable condition.
 
 -> That sounds like the same show I saw. I gathered it only 
 -> affected non-ruminate
 -> grass eaters that eat too many oats. (Something about 
 -> the multi-stomach's being
 -> better prepared for the digestion...) I also suspect it 
 -> was more a problem with
 -> the intestine bulging through the diaphragm, but it was 
 -> some time ago I saw it,
 -> and it may have not been the same program anyway.

 WC> Where they had to fold up the intestines just as they'd been 
 WC> taken out to put them back in?

Hup, I think we are on the same page... I thought the "impaction"
was actually the colin folding through the diaphragm.  I don't think they
had to intersect the colin, but there's like a 30% chance the horse is
going to survive.
 ->  WC> Thankfully as Spanky approaches 16 he's still in pretty darned good
 ->  WC> health, significantly better than mine in fact!
 
 -> When I have to tell my Seventy-YO father to slow down... (-;

 WC> Can't keep up with my 109 Y.O. dog at 50.

And you want him to drag me around the yard? Sheesh, to think I was
starting to like you?


Take care Butt-head. (-|0
