Wow, it has been a week. We got the water spigot fixed. Thank you to all who made that happen. Then 2 days later, not a drop of water anywhere. With all the rescue horses and other critters, it was hard not to panic. It was the weekend, so I put out a post on Facebook asking if anyone might have any advice.
About half an hour later I was in tears. The Golconda Volunteer Fire Department called and said they were on the way with a water tender. They came and filled every trough, including the extra’s. Other neighbors came over to see if they could help. Other folks called to help. I have never been so overwhelmed by so much community support.
I did find a “well guy” who came and fixed the issues. I cannot tell you how grateful I am to have water again.
Chilly Pepper received some amazing donations and we were able to cover the expense of this last load of hay and get the water fixed, twice. Thank You!!
My knee/leg has been getting worse since I broke it last December. After the latest episode, the pain is pretty much unbearable.
I am not trying to be a whiny baby, but I simply need to hire help for the rescue. It’s just me and it is overwhelming right now.
I ended up in the ER after falling. Taking care of all these animals by myself is not working well. With the quad, I can stay mobile, even when I am using my crutches or wheel chair, so I can water etc. When the truck is fixed, I will be able to place the big bales of hay. However, it is crazy to think I can keep doing all of this by myself. For those who don’t know, Matt has been out of the picture for years now. I need funds to hire regular/semi regular help.
The estimate for the Quad maintenance/repairs is just under $400. (Taking care of it like I should saves so much money in the long run.) The truck estimate is now at around $1300 and I have the appointment on Tuesday. Both of these vehicles are absolutely imperative for me to be able to use. Sadly the repairs for the water and the hay have eaten up most of what was donated, and the rest was eaten up by hiring help. We still owe close to $4000 to the Vet in Goldendale. Thanking God she is so patient. I simply need to have help to keep running the rescue.
I need the funds for the truck on Tuesday, but it is imperative to get it fixed so I can feed all the animals.
The horses are all fat and happy, and Wendy is loving her new life, just being a horse with no people asking anything of her or torturing her.
THE EXCITING, but scary news. So far last week my knee buckled, I went down and ended up in the ER., Several days later, I ended up face planting on the ice a second time.
My Physical therapist recommended the Doc who operated on JEREMY RENNER. For those of you who are not familiar, Jeremy was run over by a 14,300 # snowplow. He was crushed from his toes to his broken eye socket, with over 30 broken bones. I just saw his story and am so inspired. I HAVE A DR. APPOINTMENT WITH HIS DOC ON DEC 6, 2024. Maybe this will be the answers to my prayers. If he fixed him, surely he can do something with my leg. His name is Peter Althausen, and I believe his nickname is the Carpenter.
I am still planning on doing what we do, as long as I can raise enough funds to hire help. Hopefully my leg will be fixed after 46 years of surgery and broken bones, as well as chronic pain. The rescue keeps me going and gives me a reason to get up every morning. I pray y’all want me to keep it going as well.
I appreciate all the love and support and will continue to “git ‘er done” as long as we have the funding.
