Yes my brainstem surgery left me with a partial paralized tounge. I worry about going back to work someday, all I have done for the last 20 some years is work with the public, and now that I am hard to understand....it is hard. Sometimes I think I am physically ready, but with the way I talk I dont know if I could do it. <br /><br />FV, not everyone likes Gpigs LOL, Thanks for the compliments!Reddunappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02789213785183576404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409165825821448404.post-66911178397697773762009-06-03T13:55:46.758-07:002009-06-03T13:55:46.758-07:00Not such a fan of the Guinea Pigs, but wow ,trust ...Not such a fan of the Guinea Pigs, but wow ,trust you to have them and do it well , your kids must be so proud to have you as a mom ! what a role model !Sherry Sikstromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15739108723318002627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409165825821448404.post-7063775582260090502009-06-03T12:03:00.283-07:002009-06-03T12:03:00.283-07:00Great post!

We had huge cages for them to play in with all sorts of tunnels. And the cavies we had in the kitchen were the most fun. Each time the fridge would open, they'd all go "WHEEK! WHEEK!" 'cause they knew that fresh veggies and fruit were coming out to them. hehe!<br />Oh and plastic bags always got them excited, too.<br /><br />Alas, we adopted all of them out but, two and they have both passed on now.<br />We have enough critters to take all out time for now. But the piggies sure were sweet and such fun.<br /><br />The 4H activites sounded great for all the girls. We like 4H, too, though we've yet to do animals yet. Isn't that strange? lol!<br />My boys are too interested in other things, like leatherworking and photography.<br /><br />I didn't know that your health problems also included speech impediments. That's go to be challenging. My brother is dealing with that and it makes it so hard at his job for people to understand him.<br /><br />Thanks again for all the sweet comments you leave for me on my blog. Though I can never truly understand what you're going through with your disabilities, I can relate just a little.<br /><br />I too feel bored and get so depressed and frustrated that I'm not able to to do the things I want to. I know most of it is just temporary and that eventually I will, God willing. I<br /><br />But I also have disabilities (neck discs and hip displasia) and found daily activities challenging even before this knee trouble started.<br />I haven't been able to work a job for years because sitting for long periods causes me discomfort, but I can't do repetitive lifting either.<br />Not many people know about my other health issues, because I try not to focus on them. "Out of sight..out of mind", right? hehe<br /><br />I try not to let those things get in my way of doing what I desire, but then they remind me through painful episodes that I am truly limited. It stinks.<br /><br />((HUGS)) for you :)<br /><br />~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409165825821448404.post-42550272621000100242009-06-03T09:28:50.341-07:002009-06-03T09:28:50.341-07:00How cute!

I love the talkative ones!<br /><br />The timing of your post is funny -- just tonight, I read a book about guinea pigs to the kids I babysit for. Should I take this as a sign that I should adopt a guinea pig? I'll bet my husband wouldn't like that interpretation at all... ;o)Katharine Swanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16805523619692744514noreply@blogger.com
