Hey All 
Haven't felt like posting too much the last few days. Got on a bit last night, and tonight I decided I felt like reading some posts. I miss you guys.
I am feeling somewhat better, a little less sore, but not great for sure. I am still having trouble eating. Nothing tastes good to me, nothing makes me hungry. I know i have to eat, because I feel even worse when I don't but it is difficult when nothing sounds like food, just yuk.
I managed to get out on the front porch for a few minutes today, and the fresh air felt good. Was going to try to walk down to see the goats, but it was more than I could handle. I go back to the surgeon on Friday afternoon to see if he is going to take out my staples. The run clear from my sternum down to way below my belly button, and they stick to my clothes and are just a pain. Literally. OK, enough whining. I had a guy call me about buying some baby goats in a couple months, so cross your fingers for Stephanie and Dusty both being preggo and due in May like I think they are. This guy also wants to buy 6 hens and a rooster, so you know that means more room for...more chickens.
The Amish auction that we got Dusty at last year is held every October and every April and is coming up on the 14th, I am hoping I am healed enough to do a day at the auction, because we always find really neat stuff there. The spring one is always good. I will be looking for some turkeys, ducks, rabbits, and who knows, last year I found a goat. Can't wait, I love this festival and auction. Great food and neat stuff for sale. Hoping to find some more goat fence for a good price so we can expand our pasture some more.
Well, enough rambling, guess I better take a pain pill and go to sleep. Hope everybody is having a great week. Talk later.

I'm glad you're feeling a little better and were able to stop in to update us.
I agree staples are a real pain in the rear.
The Amish auction sounds like an interesting event. I hope you're well enough to attend.

Sure hope you get feeling better soon.
I can't imagine how sore having your innards rearranged made you. (hug).
My mom had abdominal staples from surgery when I was 3 or 4. Apparently I looked at her line of staples and asked why she got a 'zipper' on her tummy...

Staples are no fun. I so agree. I had to have them every time I had a c-section. Thank you for updating us, much appreciated. Hope you get to feeling your old self soon.

Hope you recover quickly!!! I remember waking up after my hysterectomy (spelling?) and looking and thinking...wow...a smiley with shiny metal TEETH!!!! Good thing about staples is less chance of infection.
Get better soon!!!!

I remember the staples from my csections well. They are quite annoying. I hope you get to feeling better soon.

Hey everybody.
Well, all 27 staples are gone. Doc says I am doing good. Explained why I was hurting in my sides more than under the actual incision. He cut the muscles on my sides so he could pull the center together to close the herniated areas. The piece of mesh they put in is approximately 12 inches wide by 9 inches high, so they literally covered my whole abdominal area with it.
Today I walked VERRY slowly down to the goat pen, went in and sat on the jungle gyms in both pens and got my hands on every one of the goats. I feel soooo much better now. I just had to get my hands on em after 2 weeks. Stephanie has a tea cup size udder now, and Dusty has a tiny little poochy one, but both of their teats are showing from behind now, so that is encouraging. Middle of May is looking good.
The "kids" are growing so fast it is unbelievable. Elijah's horns are so cute, he has one black horn and one white horn. He is the sweetest little lover. He just wants to cuddle with you all the time. I forsee one very spoiled buck in our future. We are going to raise him just like we did Dude, and if he turns out to be half as good natured and sweet, we will be very satisfied.
Tomorrow my Sister and her family are coming for a cookout, doing chicken on the grill, and I am hoping I get through it without getting too tired. She will do most of the cooking for me so it should be fine. My 9 year old nephew will be with them, and he loves coming and playing with the goat kids. He is the one who "adopts" animals of each species. All his adopties have to stay here though.
Hope you all have a great weekend. Been loving all the pics of all the new babies, it is taking me a while to catch up on all the posts.
