Tab had an accident - in hospital

OMG Tab I got such a fright when reading it on FB.
It could have been so much worse.
Thank God Sam saw what was happening and reacted so swiftly.
Glad you are at home recovering.
Rest rest rest
Wish you a speedy recovery

Glad your home. Now get some rest! :D
 
Welcome home!!! Phew, that was so scary, I was fearing the worst when I first read the title! So glad you are back home and ok and with Fargo and Smeagol!! Please take it easy, and rest. Don't do any super human stunts ok???
 
Tab,
So glad to hear you are doing okay considering all that has happened. I knew that once you got home with Fargo and Smeagol that you would feel lots happier whcich = better. Take it slow and give your bruised body a break from overdoing things.

Best from Pritti and me.

Tab, so happy you're home. Rest up and get well soon. Of course Fargo was happy to see you- he missed his mummy! :)
 
So glad to hear you are home. Get lots of rest. You are one lucky girl! This could have ended a lot worse.

Now go snuggle with Fargo. :)
 
Very relieved that you are home and recovering, what a crazy experience you had, oh my gosh, I'm so happy Tab that you will be ok!!!....that was too close!!

I was hoping Fargo would give you the best welcome to make you feel better, such an awesome bird, he's so very very sweet!!
 
So glad you're home! Lots and lots and lots of rest and snuggles with fargo and smeagol for you! Praying for a speedy recovery for you ❤
 
Glas to hear you're doing better...

Parrots are empathic. They know when you need tending to and cheering up. And they do seem to worry....

I had my first back injury about 10 years ago... I had just finished retraining my Red Lored. They gave me Flexeril, which really just suddenly made me woozy... Barely made it to my bed to lay down. Knocked me out for 18 hours!

My cage doors were still open, and in those days, I always put the birds to bed. So, they knew something was up...

My sun conure took full advantage, flying to my bed and climbing inside my shirt, where he fell asleep...

My Red Lored, however, stayed up all night watching over me. When I woke up she was perched on my chest, hypervigilent, watching out for predators, because she knew something was wrong with me.

She didn't leave my side for 3 days... until I began to act normal. Just doted over me...

So, yes, they do get it...

Awhile back I had a really, really bad day at work. Came home exhausted, and emotionally drained, almost to the point of tears...

My CAG came to see me and asked me "Whatsamatter? You're okay." Then he climbed down my leg, went back to his cage, and picked a cashew nut (his favorite) out of his food bowl. He returned to me, and when I picked him up, he set it down in the palm of my hand, and told me I was a good boy!!!
 
Reading though this thread had made me very emotional. I am very very releaved and happy to learn that you are doing better Tab. Please take care and rest and I will send healing your way for a quick recovery. I am not so sure a quick recovery will happen with your extended injury but I hope you will recover fully.

Also thank you so much for telling the story and writing about Fargo's response and behavior. I for one really appreciated the detail and love in which you wrote your response even though I am sure you are in a lot of pain. One thing that always astounds me about the parrot/human relationship is how in tune they are to our emotions and physical well being.
 
Awwwwww guys, thank you all so much.. This forum has the most loving community ever!!!


I was just very sick yesterday, pain wasn't that bad! But just felt like i wanted to vomit the whole day..

Woke up this morning.. Hey, i am no longer sick!! All the drugs are finally out of my body..

Oh wait... All the drugs are out of my body -_-

The pain has now kicked in hahaha

Was just lying there, and it was aching, tried to get up to make Fargo's breakfast and it just killed, may have cried a little ;)



Fargo is being incredibly well behaved, usually when he sees me wake up, he takes that as- i can go play now !

But this morning he saw me, and he just sat and watched me, didn't go run a muck anywhere.. What an angel! haha



I am so very very bored now.. Usually i would be out feeding horses :(


I know i am very lucky it wasn't anything more serious, you hear stories about riding accidents and the people end up dead or paralysed !

Guess its just good where he stood, not in the center of all the soft belly stuff, or on the weak rib cage.. But near the hip bone!


I went and saw Kyros yesterday, even though my head was pounding as i walked to him..
But he looked so sad... He didnt even perk his ears up when he saw me :/

Gave him a big hug and kiss and told him i wasn't mad at him haha

Dad however is very mad at him.. Says he is dangerous..

Yet my mums horse has freaked out a few times and mum has fallen off.. But no one thinks that horse is dangerous.. Because it is small, and mum didnt get injured..

EVERY horse will bolt, that is their defense.. Flight..

Once a 900kg horse gets scared or upset, there is no stopping him haha



Wont be back in the saddle for at least 2 weeks i think.. Hopefully can walk better soon, then will just do lots of lunging with him!


Thank you for all your kind wishes, honestly, you are amazing <3
 
Thank goodness you're okay. :) I laughed when you say it might be 2 weeks before you ride him again. But of course :)
 
Glad to hear you're back home and on the mend, Tab. It's lucky your injuries weren't more severe, although you're probably thinking "it was bad enough":) Modern painkillers shouldn't make you too ill (not sure about morphine- I had an op on throat last week and had tablets from that drug family- no nausea at all). Having Fargo there would be good for your recovery.
 
So glad you are feeling better. My aunt had a fall on her horse - the horse landed on her, and she broke her back, years and years ago, when I was little. Thankfully she recovered, but now that she is older she has terrible arthritis in her spine as a result.
 
I'm so happy that you're okay! !! It's awesome how Fargo and kyros are with you. Kyros obviously felt bad about what happened. Hope your up and moving around soon. Hugs :-)
 
Feel better soon Tab!!

Your babies are counting on you!
 
Gizzygirl told me what happened I'm glad your okay
 
Feel better!!! Thanks for the updated too; it's reall great to know how you're doing. :) I'm glad you're home now. :)
 
Wow Tab! So glad you are fine!


Sixty years from now, you'll be telling us all about your "war" stories, right???? :D
