After A Partial Journal In 2013, And A Non Existent One In @014, I Suppose Most Folks Have Chalked Lord Commander Of The 420 Knights Watch JamesTheGreen To The Dust Pile Of History. And In Truth I Do Not Blame You!!! I Have Been Caring For My Yarrow Now Non-Stop For Several Years,But The Last Two Have Been The Worst!!! Hospital Stays,That Run Into Months At The Hospital,If It Were Not For The Stanford In Patient Family Apartments,I Would Be Suffering Worse Financially Than We Already Are. Yarrow Finally Got Put Back On Her TPN Nutrition Fluid,That The Well Intended Local Doctor Took From Her For A Whole Year,Because He Thought It Was Causing Her To Clot,Well He Was Wrong.Yarrow Basically Starved To Death For An Entire Year,As They Tried Various Things,Like An NG Tube(FROM HER NOSE TO DUODENUM,PURPOSEFULLY BY PASSING HER STOMACH.) This Worked For About 2.5 Months,Then It Slipped Up Into Her Stomach,And They Tried Three Different Times To Place It,And Have It Stay.The Time That It Lasted 2.5 Months They Used A French 12-55,The Last Three Times They Did It,Each Time They Gave The Wrong Size,I Was,Shall We Say, Extremely Hot Under The Collar About This,But What Can You Do?!?! After The Third Time,They Declared Her Unable Because Of All The Surgical Damage To He Insides,Impossible To Keep An NG Tube Placed. At This Point they Told Us She Would Be Dead By July Of 2014. Then Lo And Behold,They Find Out That Her Local Doctor Had Pulled Her from Her TPN, Because Of An Unfounded Theory That It Was Causing Clots.The Doctors At Stanford Were Extremely Angered And Surprised That This Had Been Done, As TPN Does Not,They Say,Cause Clotting!!! She Was Put Back On TPN Immediately,It Saved Her Life!!! Now Because She Has A Central Line With 2 Lumens,It Is Very Hard To Make Sure Everything Stays Sterile As Possible,I Do As Well As I Can With This,Even The nurses That Come Once A Week To Clean And Cover Her Main Line,Sometimes Have Me Telling Them When They Are Not Doing Something Right. I Am Not Rude, I Just Help Them Remember The Steps They Have Forgotten. Yarrow Cannot Eat Without Throwing Up Within An Hour Or So. Water,Juice,Milk,Food, It All Comes Back Up. Unusually Her Meds Do Not, The Doctors Believe That This Is Because Her Body Does Not See This As Food And Sends It Through?!?! Makes No Sense To Me. So Yarrow Weighs Between 98-106 Pounds And Is 5ft8,They Just Upped Her Calories,So I Am Hopeful That She Will Gain Weight. We Just Spent 4 days In The Hospital Because During A Culture Of Her Line They Found A Yeast Infection In It,Which Can Lead To Endocarditis, Which Is What Almost Killed Her Over The Past Couple Of Years,That Was Why They Pulled Her Central Line Which She Had Had For 3 Years,And Because Of A Doctors Own Theory They Did Not Place A New One In,So She Literally Starved Down To Nothing,But The Endocarditis Was Causing Growths In Her Heart,Brain And Spleen.We Were So Thankful When We Found We Had Wiped This Out. She Has Been Back On TPN For About 4 Months Solid Now.They Had To Pull Another Of Her Central Lines Back In The Summer,Because Of Yeast,So We Are Hoping We Caught It Early Enough This Time To Save The Line And Defeat The Yeast Before It Morphs Into Endocarditis. I Know,Alot Of Stuff NOT About Herb,SORRY!!! Now About Herb, I Have Started 5 Strains 100 Seeds, For This Years Hopefully, Only Me Working On, Garden,With No Problems With Yarrow Having To Stay In The Hospital,Even If This Happens, I Will Force My Self To Come Home Then Hurry Back,And Be The Only Caretaker Of MY GARDEN AND YARROWS. I Planted My Kush Strain(OF COURSE!!!) And A Few Others I Have Grown Before Awhile Ago, And One I Have Never Grow,Actually 2.The New Plants Are 1.3G X F..king Incredible(GROWN LONG AGO),DUBBLE BUBBLE(Never Grown)Atomic Shiva(GROWN LONG AGO,BUT GREAT SMOKE!!!) And Texada Timewarp(NEVER GROWN),But I Have Heard Only Good Things About The Dubble Bubble, And Especially The Texada Timewarp. I Just Hope The Dubble Bubble Finishes Early Enough!!! As Soon As I Move The Children Out Doors, I Will Start A Photo Journal!!! Hopefully Yarrow Will Stay Static,Or Get Better Is My First Choice!!! So I just Wanted To Do An Update,And If Her Health Does Not Do Well, I Will Still Endeavor To Take Pictures And Find Time For "The 2015 James And Yarrow Garden Journal." If I Have Lapses Every Now And Then,Just Remember That I Have A Sick Wife,But I'll Continue To Make Every Attempt To Keep The Journal At Least Somewhat Up To Date. I Miss You All, It Has Been Far Too Long That I Have Been Away From The Realm,Please Know That Amongst Many Of You,My Heart Rests!!! LOVE YOU, LORD COMMANDER OF THE 420 KNIGHTS WATCH, JAMESTHEGREEN!!!
