I had an operation last Tuesday to strip varicose veins. My leg is now a mass of bruises and dressings over cuts, not to mention the elastic stocking, which besides being very unsexy, spends its day trying to slide down my leg and form a tourniquet. All this I can cope with but what is depressing is that someone else is milking my girl for me. I had to do it last night as she wasn't available and boy did it hurt, so I'm glad she is able to do the next few days but it doesn't feel right.


It's one thing going on holiday and leaving someone else to look after them but I'm not here then. Being in the house and knowing that someone else is doing my job is what's wrong. I miss it. I do go and talk to them but I'll be glad when my leg will allow me to bend down properly and get back to what I enjoy doing.


Sorry about the moan. Just feeling sorry for myself.

  it must be difficult for you. It's hard to let others do something so much a part of your daily life.
Do rest up, you will heal quicker and get back to the girls sooner

Aww, it is rubbish when you can't do your bit. My mum and I are bad for nearly being half dead before we concede that maybe we should rest rather than do the goats.

Hope you heal up quick!

The bruises have started to turn yellow so the end is in sight. I managed  to make a good fuss of Pom today so that helped. My relief milker is going to take me to buy goat food tomorrow as we are getting very low and I'm not allowed supposed to drive for two weeks. Blow that. Thursday I am behind that wheel and, hopefully, back with my girls. The dressings will be off by then so I should have healed. I might let OH take the buckets in though as getting barged by Cloud won't be helpful.

I feel your frustration, but doing to much to soon may cause more damage than good , be careful 

[Lesley Silvester]

I am trying to be good. I was told not to drive for two weeks. The operation was last Tuesday so this Thursday is nearly two weeks, isn't it?

Patience, Lesley 

5 days seems a long time now, but it's a small price to pay for a better, quicker recovery
