Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[Jillus]

It seems every time I come onto the forum I am typing one handed!

 

Just back from my long awaited months holiday on St Lucia, but, after ten days I slipped and fell down a steep slope and managed to shatter my wrist , left one this time, had it wired together in a St Lucia hospital and am in plaster until the week before Christmas. Also diagnosed with osteoporosis Should have been sailing to Mustique and Bequia but could not go as it would have been too risky.

 

First day back after an uncomfortable journey a hawk got one of my doves and as the injuries were too terrible had to cull her.

 

Good news is my boy is home from A on ten days leave and is fit, well and happy. We also had another new baby dove hatch.

 

This has taken ten minutes to type but I need the practise to do all the Christmas shopping on line!

 

Get the wires out on Tuesday hopefully but it still hurts like hell, just hope once they are removed things get a bit better.Never had a break before, amazed at how sore it is

[Guest]

Sorry to hear about your bad time.

 

Enjoy your time with your boy! Im sure it's very precious.

[docsquid]

{{Hugs}}! So sorry to hear about your accident and interrupted holiday. It will feel much better once the wires are out.

[Jillus]

That is such good news about the wires, I was worrying myself sick that the pain was because it had not reunited and would have to be done again.

[Chickvic]

Hope you feel better soon, sounds really nasty

[Valkyrie]

Ouch! Hope you perk up soon. One hand is still better than none.

Oh dear Jillus - what a time you have been having.

 

Sending you healing Omlet vibes for your wrist - take it easy and try to enjoy doing nothing for a while.

[Reikiranf]

Poor you! I hope that you feel better once the wires are out and feel 100% very quickly

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Gosh, you poor thing . You've really been having it rough .

 

Great news about your boy though . Fingers crossed your wrist feels better soon .

[Olly]

Oh poor you! Hope it soon feels better.

[theherd123]

Hope you start to feel better soon.

[Chicken Shirl]

Hope you feel better soon. What an awful thing to happen. Enjoy your son being at home.x

[Egluntyne]

Sorry to hear about the accident and the dove.....but great news about your son.

[xScrunchee]

Oooo, nasty!!!

 

Wishing you a speedy recovery and enjoy the time with your son

[chickencam]

Hope that your wrist feels better soon.

 

I am so glad to hear that your son is fit and well I have to say I do cross my fingers for you everytime there is bad news.

[The Dogmother]

So sorry to hear that Jillus, believe me, it will feel a lot better once the wires come out and it can heal completely. I found that Arnica helped immensely when I had a nasty break.

 

I hope that the new year is more positive for you.

[Seagazer]

Ouch, hope it gets better soon. At least you have your son home to enjoy his company.

[Lewis]

Hoping it does get better soon when the wires come out

[Jillus]

Wires out later today Does it hurt??

[The Dogmother]

Not from what I remember, just sore afterwards. But you're asking the worng person; I walked around on a broken ankle for a couple of days thinking 'that's a bit sore'

[Jillus]

You poor thing I had another two friends that also did that! I think my pain threshold must be very low

[Jillus]

Wires out, for all those of you breaking wrists this Christmas it is not comfy but not too painful. Now sporting a nice purple plaster with silver and pink glitter!!

[Chicken Shirl]

You must be very pleased that is over. I'm very glad for you. x

[Plum]

Poor you, heal quick

[bigmommasally]

Hope your wrist heals quickly Jilius, and you enjoy your time with your son and sending lots of wishes to keep him safe on his return.
