Hiya Bill! Holy smokes, you might need to stop feeding those plants in the greenhouse. You might wake up one day with a hole in your greenhouse roof, with plants having punched right through!
I expect it greenhouse to pop like a zit one morning.
It's stretching to its limits. Hehe.
I'm doing good here, my kid's still around, and I've been able to mainly sleep off all the damage I did on my birthday, or technically, 5 minutes after my b-day officially ended. I wasn't celebrating or anything, but I don't remember what happened, just the mangled wreck I was when I came to, almost three hours later - for some reason, I do remember looking at the clock before I went down, while I was trying to fix a liquid snack - yeah the whole esophageal stricture thing is still unsolved, that's going to take some doing, and I won't have the pleasure of a camera stuffed down my throat until Aug 16th. That at least should confirm or exclude the cancer threat, if not fix the problem itself. I've got the diet thing worked out now though so I'm all good.
August 16 , they aren't in a hurry.
Meanwhile you can barely swallow.
This didn't start yesterday.
They should have done a scope right away.
Hospitals out there as far behind as here.
To get the nerve test for my hand, so i can get therapy is a 2 year wait.
Just for the test, what good will that do ? 2 years fek.
My doctors are pretty sick of me, from the constant attention I keep forcing them to give me. Oh well, don't tell them, but, the feeling is reciprocated.
Mine just blew me off.
80 pounds I've lost she says, I'm not concerned.
Well I bloody well am.
They don't seem to give a dam. Act like I'm imposing.
I'm doing really well now, and because my plants (herb and veg garden) are all in SIPs, my trials and tribulations are all taken in stride without slowing anything down, or worse.
How are the veggies doing?
Are you going to have enough to sell some surplus?
Sips to the rescue.
I have my family around (though they all need more help than I do) and that's what matters. On another bright side, all this action will surely help my disability claim go through!
It took years to get disability here.
Had to get a lawyer and appeal their denial of my application.
Don't give up.
And, I finally turned 50, meaning I can dispense with any pretense of youthfulness (finally), and start acting closer to the 85 years old my body actually feels.
Where would the fun be if we acted our age.
Our poor old bones might thank us, mine would have.
I told my doctor I'd be perfectly healthy if I never met myself.
90% of my issues are self inflicted.
Cracked my skull again the other day.
Just doing a check up on my CTE, yup still good.
Sounds, lately, like you have some pointers for me on that front. My father suffers from some similar 'injuries' (extreme spinal wear and tear) and so I really can appreciate the struggle you face.
I can walk and do my gardens so everything is fine.
I shouldn’t be complaining.
I'm great full, very great full.
don't want to belabour that point (I just can't help it, I swear!), nonetheless, I hope you have the love and support you need.
I'm well loved here, all the support and care I need.
If you don't, well, you wouldn't be disturbing anything special by asking my help, I assure you.
Joseph Stalin's great biographer, Stephen Kotkin, always says, "Be not afraid".
That might have been my problem.
So I figure, if a guy as familiar with Russian history as he is can rock a motto like that, then I ought to be able to do the same.
A little fear might have done me wonders, health wise.
Lack of it hasn't helped I'll tell you that much.
The little voice you hear that says don't do that.
Mine says What?
For your part, at least from where I stand, you seem to be a natural at it. So I keep hanging around, acting the poseur, and hoping one day to discover your secret.
This message sounds more positive , I'm so happy about that.
I was trying to figure out how to get to BC, thinking of you laying there broke my heart.
At least your not alone.
That was concerning to me. Not that every other aspect doesn't worry me aswell.
Just glad you have someone there for support.
I've got this crazy team that keeps me young.
I'm not much for quotes but I think it was John Lennon who said " Love is all you need "
Take care my friend.
Talk soon.
