Hi all,
For those who may be wondering, our computer has been down,
But my husband has been working day and night, and hopefully I'll be back online in a couple of days,
I haven't forgot about those who I need to reply too. I will write soon.
I just didn't want you guys thinking I was blowing you off.
Thanks
Talk to you soon
Rusty

I was wondering...LOL... No problem Rusty, glad to see you're still around here! (Stupid computers) :( lol

Jennifer

K, I'm back..lol
my husband fixed it faster then expected!!

Glad to see ya back, we missed you!

We look forward to having you back 100% :)

Thanks guys, it's been a long week
(oh you know theres going to be a rant, wanna here it, here it goes)..lol
Since about saturday my husband and I have been feeling a bit flu like, well by monday (since monday) we have been holding steady temps at about 100 - 102. and I swear I can't breath through my nose. thankfully our son is not ill with this flu, but he did fall on the ice and now hates sidewalks (he's only four) poor little guy got a concusion (this was on Tues.) and that was a hospital visit due to loss of concioseness (sp?) luckily he is ok from the fall but a catscan showed a very bad sinus infection which is what everyone (his pedeatrition) has been calling the common cold. Poor guy he's hanging in there good thou.
My husband (on sat) cut the top of his thumb off and the ER doc had to spend about 30 minutes stitching it up! (It was pretty cool, gross but cool).
So I am goping crazy (as you can probably tell by now..lol) being stuck at home sick, they keep sending me home from work, but I just can't sit still.
The herps are doing great with the exception of one of the latest baby Leopard gecko rescues. She passed away yesturday morning. She just couldn't pull through.
But the newest rainbow boa rescue is doing excellent!!! (thanks in part to a kind donation!)
Ok, I guess I've ranted enough, thank you for tolerating my insanity (again!)
Rusty

Wow, that's quite a week. I'm sorry to hear all that, but at least you're keeping a good attitude. :) I'm sorry to hear about the leopard gecko, do you know why she passed?

At least the epicrates is doing well. Mites are a pain to fight off, so keep up the good work! :D

Jennifer

the l. gecko was one of two juvi's that were rescued recently. (i posteda thread in the leopard gecko section) anyhow, they are just so emaciated, even with vet care it still comes down to natural selection. some of them just weren't hatched to live, (sadly).
But hopefully her "mate" will be ok, we'll see.
Mites are a pain, we get allot of rescues with them (thank goodness for our isolation protocal)!!
she should be ok thou
thanks
Rusty

Sounds like a heck of a week, Rusty. Glad to hear everyone but the gecko should be able to recover from it.

I lost a computer this week, too -- my work pc died yesterday afternoon. I got a new one today but it's going to take me days to get everything set back up on it and there were a few disputes involved in the process of replacing it so that sucked too.

Trouble comes like puppies...

...always in litters.

Hopefully you've seen the last of it for a while. Hopefully a LONG while.

Thanks Hoomi!
All is well on the rescue ranch..lol

Ok, more gripeing!!!
(Sorry)
Well the other lil juvu leopard gecko passed, we did everything we could.
It's now Sunday and on Friday they sent me (My boss) from work to prompt care due to the severity of my cold, such a pain, I can't wait for health insurance then I can just go to a regular Doctor!
anyhow apparently I have the flu, or well the flu gone bad (as the dr. put it) I have been diagnosed with walking pnumonia (sp?), upper resperatory infection, sinusitus and an ear infection in my left ear. Nice huh so I get great antibiotics (which is scary because I am allergic to 5 thus far), and a strong compound cough suryp (that's why I am so loopy), and son of a gun, I am allergic to another antibiotic!! I called the doc to let him no I couldn't take it due to ill side affects and he said I sound allergic to that one too. So noww I am just on the compound syrup. I can't stand taking meds, ecspecially when they make me dysfunctional! I have to be to work tommarow at 6am for "big management responsibilities", and I still have a temp of 101!
I tell you I hate being sick!!
sorry I don't really know why I am griping to you guys, I just need to bit#*.
I hate being sick!
thanks for tolerating my griping
Rusty
PS we'll just blame this post on the cough meds..lol

Sounds awful! Definitely get your rest and take care of yourself.

Sorry to hear about the other gecko, guess it just wasnt ment to be.

You get better now, you hear!

Ok, I just reread my post and I completely appologize for such a whine,
thank you for your kind words thou.
I am feeling better (stayed home again from work) but I plan on going back to work tommarow (I am getting cabin fever..lol)
"redrum"
Thanks again
Rusty
