Terriam - we had to clean all the cacti off our property in AZ - took a year! But the dogs certainly appreciated it. They would be so ever kind and bring those thorns into the house. UGH!
Logcabin beautiful block - but how did you make that keeping your foot elevated?? Hopefully doctor can give you some comfort and support for ankle. But you need to take care of it yourself. Just saying from someone who doesn't follow orders!
