Feed & lifting. OK -- have the feed loaded at the store by another. At home, open the bag & let it fill into buckets. I know, PIA but, much lighter to carry!

Hospital/dr co-pays. Ask for payment plan? Do they have a patient advocate at the hospital? They may be able to help you get assistance with the co-pays. Your state Medicaid may have assistance. None is good thing but, just some suggestions. Takes some phone calls to ask the questions.

Look up care credit. You can apply online. BJs doctor referred us to care credit, it is interest free if paid off on time. Carecredit.com

Sounds like you need a massage table with a face cradle. I hope the financial bit can be worked out!

 

[Mini Horses]

I've used Carecredit….worked great when a dog needed surgery. No interest if paid within time allotted. Not too late, call. Hey, you have more coming. BUT -- just a thought. What you have may work fine. I just liked the % interest!

Since this eye emergency came up we have been reminded again that we are just too far away form drs. and hospitals. I have a difficult enough time just driving the familiar 15 miles to the grocery store, with my hearing loss.......with the possability of my other eye having the same problem happening, and it needing surgury soon anyhow it has us rethinking things again. Not going to do the over 55 community move. But we are considering moving within the outskirts of the Ocala area where we could still have our ducks, a few goats and chickens. ...not give up our lifestyle, just get it closer to the things we find we are needing more often...medical facilities.
No plan yet as we will both be busy getting "parts repaired" , then back to house projects...but next winter, our snowbird season is the target we are aiming for..............".god willing and the creek don't rise" ....

I think many of us have those same choices in front of us but I don't envy what you have going on. I haven't had many parts repaired yet but there have been a few. I wish you guys the best of everything since you definitely deserve it my friend.

I'm glad you'll be where you can still live the lifestyle you love. Happiness is important too

Girl, you scared the stupid right out of BJ! We haven’t had a fight since! He is behaving himself, following Dr orders and mine too. I was about to whallop him up the side of his stubborn head!

You’ll get this all figured out and how to get through the “after surgery” part. We will all do our best to keep your spirits up!

Gosh, Miss @B&B Happy goats! I hope you and Leon can get through this OK. You amaze me with your positive attitude in face of such troubles. Please know that if you ever need to vent, we'll be glad to listen.

I think you are already in the looney bin, so face down for a week shouldn’t hurt you at all. You’ll be face down, backside up.......and the doctors can kiss it!

Thoughts with you for success with the surgery tomorrow.
