Re: Sweetsue's Tiny Closet - Second Grow - Sweet Dark Devil & Bomb Berry Bomb - CFL -
I started writing this two hours ago. I finished it three minutes ago. I work fast. Brace yourselves. Seriously.
This has been one of the most frantic days in..... my God! These have become the mainstay of my days!!!!! Sorry, but this is total shit!!!
We went to be fitted for a prosthetic leg today all giddy with hope that the end was a little nearer. Then the rehabilitation doctor took the bandage off the back of his only heel, the one that had a tiny spot when he was admitted into the nursing home on the 23rd of Feb, the one I pointed out to the staff on admission and took a photo of so we could watch it. It had rubbed raw last week as he went from bed to toilet, rubbed against the small wheel on the front of the wheelchair that he didn't feel because he has neuropathy, so it's been bandaged. Yesterday morning as I arrived the wound care nurse had assured me it was healing well. That little spot is a silver dollar-sized ulcer, just beginning to drain.
We have an emergency meeting with the vascular surgeon tomorrow morning at 9:15. Who knows where this leads? What we do know right now is that the new leg is on a minimum 6-week hold. What the staff at the nursing home now knows is that I expect him ready to bring home next Friday, if we have to have him go up those stairs on his ass. I was a bit hard on the iPad typing that. Sorry.
My life doesn't run on drama. I insist that I work right through the fear to love. Insist on it. There is no other way in my world. When you look back five years from now you will see this as the best thing that could have happened at the time. Everything can be viewed in those terms. It's a reason to celebrate. I had worked through most of it and was headed to joy when I got home tonight.
As I came through my front door, tense at the thought that I had to leave him there (best nurse, subs there and adores Dale) I got a text from him. A screen of kisses. I laughed and sent my own affections back. It's our code now - I text him, he calls me. We started talking about him coming home and suddenly we were laughing about his boney ass and how he needs those buns of steel and how it's a good thing I can teach him Callanetics right here because, baby, he's going to need it.
I won't deny that life has thrown us more than our share of curve balls. I admit that today was a roller coaster ride filled with terror, frustration, anger and uncertainty. I still can't wrap my head around the possible implications. But after almost twenty years of being bombarded with these challenges, we know you still have to make it through and keep going. To do that with laughter and joy makes the entire process bearable. If you could rise above the timeline far enough you would see the outcome that made all this struggle worth it.
Seriously guys, this joy thing works. We're going to be ok.

Those decarboxylized Bomb buds I took along came in handy. Got us through. Kept us breathing. They had a delicious nutty taste. Mmmmm. I'll take more tomorrow. Dale said to thank you for the inspiration DrZiggy, and to thank you for your food posts, by the way. His eyes lit up when I showed him Greytail's Panama Dream picture and sends thanks to nivek for the flowers. I share all this with him all day long. It keeps him sane too.
Just checked on the seeds, and no one wants to play yet.
I need a Buddha buzz.

Daily Update: Waiting for Germination - Day 5
I topped off the reservoirs (about 1 1/2 cups each today) and spritzed some water on the planted area. Looked reeeeeeeeaaaaaaallyyyyy close.
No Berry Bomb.
No movement from Dark Devil either.
I whispered sweet encouragement and peered closer. Any signs of movement? No one wants to come and play yet?
I reminded myself that I didn't soak these seeds. It was a conscious decision, based on my wish to let the seed do it's thing without my interference. In all likelihood it will mean a couple extra days to germination. (Sigh)
I'll check back later today. Patience. Just a bit longer.
I'm going to enjoy this cup of coffee away from the nursing home with Dale now. We're waiting for the cafeteria to begin serving lunch so he can have fish sandwich. The nursing home food is becoming intolerable blah. We'll hide out here for a while before returning to the home.
Still no resolution on the heel, though the vascular surgeon wants the process to continue for the prosthesis. Regardless, my decision is firm - next Friday I bring him home. Now I have to prepare for that. It won't be easy, but it will be joyful. I promise you that.
Have an exquisite day everyone. Go spread more of that joy.

Sorry to hear about your bad news yesterday. Today is a new day try to have a better one. Hope that Dale is able to make it home next week. I'm sending positive vibes to your seedlings hope they break ground real soon. I always try to do a little soak even if it is just a few hours. So I could see that setting you back a couple days. My BEK had a 6 hour soak on Sunday night was planted first thing Monday morning and graced me with her presence yesterday morning. Have a great weekend Sue

Don't sweat it Sue! As for not soaking the seeds, I've never done that and I germinate on the 4/5th day. Sometimes even late the 3rd day. But it's not a race. Your plants are doing their thing whether we see them or don't. Could be nothing more then maybe they were buried a couple mm to deep and that just requires a couple more hours for them to pop. But you know their working very hard under the soil for you.
Lots of love

Thanks for all the encouragement guys. They will pop when they're good and ready. I wanted to see how long that would take without soaking. I have great faith in the life energy of these seeds. It's just so hard to wait!!!
Hello Lungcooking and welcome to the wonderful community that is
. I know you'll enjoy the folks and before long this garden will be jumping with excitement, once these tiny seeds pop. It's good to have you along.
