We have the head lock thing...she just didn't want to haveanything to do with it. Evenutally they got her in and sewed her up...but as you read in the story she had to be put down. I went to the orthopedic surgeon today. I'm having lots of problems again...I sure hope it's not more surgery.

This is Part 2 of the not so funny cow story.

Well... as you have read in part 1, I'm still having mega back problems. I went to my surgeon Dr. Becker again...he ordered more MRi's and bone scans. That was Friday. I suppose I was his last patient of the day. Over the weekend he and the pilot and her daughter where up in a cessna plane seeing the sights. It crashed near Mt. Baldy killing all three of them. What a loss to the community, to his family and friends and to patients like me. Monday I had the test taken that he ordered, but now I'm waiting to another see another surgeon, and start this process all over again. I need some prayers for my doctors family and for me. More surgery again.
Thanks Chris :rolleyes:

Our Black Angus, Maggie, had prolapsed, we called Doc ross and he came over. We had her in a holding pen, but she wanted nothing to do with the pinch. There were 3 of us. Vet, me and my husband. The vet gave her s smack on the rear to make her move. She turned around and rammed me 7 times befor they could get to me. She hit my back with her head, and slammed me up against a steel fenc.e, the side of the barn and I put my arms wrapped around me and she hit me striaght on. Thi past Novemember I had back surgery with rods, screws and donor bone. April I had another. I still need surgery on the lower part of my neck. I wasn't angry with her...she was in pain. We had to have her put down....she was a good cow.

update.. Well, I have a neurosurgeon that I will see this coming Tuesday. I had all my test taken again this monday at the hospital. I was there for 6 hours. I had to have 2 shots of morphine so I could lay flat for the tests. Yikes this is really something. I only hope and pray that my new doctor will kow what to do for me. Thanks for hearing me out. Chris. :bouquet
