Rest easy Dad, 1936 - 2025, you're home now and with mum. No more strokes or dementia, give mum a kiss & cuddle from me please 
But recently my husband contracted Golden Staph, except it wasn't because he had surgery in hospital like most people think you can get it, you can get it anywhere and from any surface. Even a simple paper cut can bring about this horrible infection. When he left home in the ambulance on 17th June 2025 he can remember getting into the ambulance at home, then nothing for at least 5 days. I spent well over 24hrs with him in A&E just answering doctors and nurses questions - mind you I managed all this with around 4hrs sleep. I went home and slept as best I could for 2hrs, I pretty much just relaxed around the house as I was too tired to do anything else. Slept in the next morning and felt more alive.
In a nutshell, there are 3 kinds of Golden Staph - bad, worse and worst. My husband was the middle one - clinically severely unwell for quite a few weeks, then he improved with the IV antibiotics administered every 6hrs. He has the infection from top to toe, his left hand was opened up 3 times just to do a deep wash out around the first two knuckles (under anaesthetic) just to prevent it from going into his bloodstream. He ended up being under 6 specialist teams initially but was revised to 5 specialist teams - the plastics team, infectious diseases, cardiac, blood work and one other that I can't remember.
As of yesterday 06/08/2025 my husband informed me that he's coming home for good tomorrow - he has been very lonely, very sick and now just wants to get home. He rang me just a moment ago 07/08/2025 to tell me that they are going to be reopening his left hand but just below where they originally cut it open to restitch it up so that it heals much better than it currently is. Still have my finders crossed that he will be home very very soon.
Update: My husband was discharged from hospital yesterday afternoon (Friday 8th August 2025) and its now onwards and upwards from here.
As of the 31st December 2023 I have been on this game for 6,000 days. That's an achievement in itself!
If you are in need of blupping schedules that cover all the current breeds of horse, pony and donkey including crossbreeds, as well as the Poitou Donkey (2nd last blup schedule in my forum), go to my EC forum, its all there.
Rest easy mum, 3rd Feb 1934 to 30th July 2023

Happy to accept all friend requests.
Something for you to think about:
This game is the mirror image of yourself, so think carefully before you do or say anything on this game. If you are kind in real life then you will be kind here, however if you are rude to others then this game may not be for you.
A little about me, my name is Janet, I am a mature player and have been playing this game for over 10 years now. I still enjoy playing this game and hope to for some time to come.
My username came from my beloved mare, Bronze. Registered name Indian Bronze. She was a registered part bred Arab cross Thoroughbred mare.
She was also the greatest love of my life. She laid down in the sun one morning to have a warm after a bitter minus 6 degree C frost here in my small town and never woke up - 27th June 2017. She was 34 years of age when she left me and had owned me for 32 and a half wonderful years. Missed daily but dearly loved by all who knew her.
I still really enjoy this game. However there are elements of this game I really do not like:
Admin stopped listening to us older players who have been here the longest sadly a long time ago (those of us who still play the game).
