I’m so anxious.
Hopalong
Exploring our options with the doctor. Change Judy’s nickname from Flash to Hopalong? Staple, scope, cut? Leave everything alone? Her ankle will get better on its own. Her shoulder and knee won’t. Minor tears in both than can be fixed.
The knee will recover faster than the shoulder. The knee will be pretty good within a couple weeks. The shoulder will take months. It would be good to get them both done before we leave here in May, so we’ll do the knee first; April 1st followed by the shoulder April 15th. Hopefully the shoulder will be rehabilitated enough to travel comfortably by mid-May.

The odd couple
For the last couple weeks this Snowy Egret and Neotropic Cormorant have been best buddies. They’re always together. They stand on the bank together. If one naps, they both nap. One goes fishing, they both go fishing.
The cormorant swims underwater right next to the bank, chasing fish. The egret runs alongside, snatching up scattering minnows.
The cormorant is so fast, sometimes he gets ahead, but the egret runs to catch up.
They’re an odd couple, but it works.
