I hadn't been feeling well for a while, but as you do I carried on. My work is my passion and taking time off poorly isn't an option for me as I would be letting my patients down. Then whilst driving between patients my right side went numb I felt dizzy and had to stop, a few minutes later it went away so I carried on.
That was on the Friday, on the Sunday I ended up in A&E with a suspected stroke. Lots of tests and it wasn't a stroke 4 months later I'm still having tests and have a number of symptoms they think it's M.E. And I'm still unable to work.
So what has this got to do with me ending up with all these chickens I here you ask? When I first got ill I felt like I had lost my purpose as I couldn't do hardly anything!
"let's get some chickens!" I wanted to rescue as there are so many animals out there that need a second chance. I found little hen rescue and filled in my adoption form. Hubby bought me a coop and we were ready. We were going to have 4 that turned into 6 we collected them in February this year. They gave me a purpose, no matter how bad a day I was having the girls needed me! I had to get dressed in the morning, I had to feed them, clean them out and make sure they were ok.
I'm still poorly I have good days and bad days I now have 18 girls 2 boys as well as my two dogs. I gave them all a second chance but more then that they have given me one too!!!!!
