More tests and exams for Fred

Well, maybe by the middle of next week they will do an angiogram of freds leg to check his areteries and veins. First they will do an EKG, then pressure cuffs on his legs to see how the blood flow is? Going to be a long process to get that toe healed I think.
Weather is getting hot and humid again, dont like it!!!

Bandit waiting for me to unload him so we could go for a nice trail ride with my friend Lori.

WOW! Its been almost a month of not writing here, hmmm.... what have I been doing?
Working, eating , sleeping, taking care of Freds toe, playing with the horses when the deer flies dont swarm us....
Work has been very busy, traffic galore! Today was a very busy Monday and a wierd one. It was so busy I made a deposit at my lunch break, when I cashed out at 4 at end of shift I made a deposit of the exact same amount as my first deposit.... that has never happened in the 26 years i have worked there. Have to work tomorrow then have two days off. Hope to ride on Wed afternoon, Thursday morning will be spent at Drs. with Fred. They may put stents in his veins near his ankles to get the blood flowing better to help the healing of his toe. Pouring rain out right now, need it for the grass tho.

Well, they didnt do angioplasty, just ultrasounds of his arteries in both legs. He starts with the hyperbaric chamber in the morning. I dont think he is going to like going there 5 days in a row for 4 or more weeks, but we shall see....
Yahoo!!! A cooler day today only in the 80s, so much better than 100 and humidity.
Hoping to ride tomorrow night after I get home from work if mosquitoes arent too bad. Horses need some work outs but it has been way too hot. Come on Fall weather!!!

Trying to give Brandy a little freedom off the leash because she doesnt always come when we call her back to us. Didnt work so well, she grabbed the tennis ball once and dropped it and off she went , we could hear her barking out in the woods, walked out there calling her, she comes running back with porcupine quills hanging out of her nose and chin..... bad dog!! Ended up taking her to the vet , they sedated her and took them out, she was a little drunk on morphine for a few hours... around midnight she must have been feeling better and not hungover, she was wide awake... :(
Fairly cool this morning, got the horses out early, 95 this afternoon with humidity was way too hot~~~ Peter and Fred worked on mower blades they are nice and sharp now. Peter mowed a pasture this morning while it was somewhat cool, Deb and I did stalls, and that was it. We all went to dinner tonight for Freds birthday.
Brought horses in, put fans on them ... they like that.
Way too hot the next coming week, I dont like it!!!!! Yesterday while at work I got a tingling sensation all over and light headed and it was like I could hear the blood rushing in my ears... a little scary.. and i had just finished lunch... thot i was going to keel over... wish i had enough time to take summer off and not have to melt in the booth... oh well, need to be able to pay bills and put food on table...
Taking Fred to drs. tomorrow afternoon, and Friday morning for possible angioplasty in arteries near ankle to help blood flow better to his foot to help his toe heal . and Life goes on at Perkins Paradise.....:)
