Hey folks
Little chilly here today but at least all the snow is gone.
Judy MI, I started walking a couple month's before I had surgery and I really think it helped. I was out of the hospital and flying home 2 days after surgery. On the 3rd day I went into the office for an hour to visit.
I had a Pulmonary Function Test a few months after surgery. My lung capacity was at 111% compared to the average of someone my height, weight, etc. but with both lungs.
So I would certainly suggest you start pedaling along with Bud.

I am very sorry to write that Marisa, whose real name was Jeanne, passed away early Sunday morning. I had met Jeanne on here and she was from Vancouver but lived in Australia. We never got a chance to meet but corresponded every day.
Jeanne had made the decision not to have treatment and was at peace with what the future held for her. She was a very courageous lady and will continue to keep giving to find a cure for this disease after her passing.
Her biggest fear was to be in pain when the time came but her sister assured me that her passing was very peaceful. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.

Sorry Judy that you didn't get the results you were hoping for. Just try to take the positives out of the results. It was discovered early enough that you have options and once it is over, you will get those NED results again.

Marisa visited her friend for the Easter weekend. On Saturday evening, she was having difficulty breathing and the liquid morphine and rivortil were not comforting her. On Sunday morning an ambulance was called and her oxygen level was at 88. oxygen in her blood was stable and she did not have a chest infection.
She was released early Monday morning however early Tuesday morning an ambulance had to be called again. Her oxygen level was at 92. They tripled the morphine dosage and increased the rivortil from 1 drop to 5. She was released late Tuesday and is back at her friends home. The increased medication appears to be helping but she has little energy and is sleeping alot.
I will post any updates as I get them. I am sure all her online friends here will keep her in our thoughts and prayers.

Hey folks
Another great morning with sunshine and blue sky's. Seen a few deer out in the field this morning. Annette, as I walked out this morning to check on all the animals, I really appreciate not having to sit behind that desk for 40 or 50 hours per week.
Getting off the couch and going out around sound's like a great plan Judy. I am sure that Stan enjoy's the morning coffee. Another calf picture in your email. This one is a girl and was born yesterday. It was my son Stephen's birthday so Stephanie is her name.

Hey folks
Finally I think spring has arrived. It was nice yesterday and this morning it is 3C/37F and going to 16C/61F by this afternoon. The little remaining snow should disappear today.
I have 80 acres of land that is not cleared so I have started cutting trees down. Gets fire wood for next winter, rails for a new fence, and will make a great pasture when it is cleared. Most of my fence is just the regular wire but I like the old wooden type fence so trying to add a few of those.
Now Becky I wouldn't even think of commenting on your empty head, but it is good news. LOL
Judy MI, I am sure that all your mentoring is greatly appreciated.
Annette with everything that you have going on, running late is certainly understandable. Now not being motivated to go to work, can't see that happening. LOL
Bud great to hear that you are back riding. The swollen hand did not slow you down at all.

Randy I already had lunch with Santa and told him about the naughty guy in N.C. LOL

Hey folks
Little cool here this morning but clear blue sky's and the temperature should rise.
Friends from the north are driving down today and staying overnight. Have a nice dinner and then a few pop's sitting around the firepit. Should be fun.
Judy KW, I'm sure that you are getting excited to get back to your own home. A little rest in your favorite chair will be nice.
No procrastinating Randy. LOL
Hope your hand feels better soon Bud. That is not good for riding or fishing.

Not a really great day here for a BBQ either Eric. Neighbor's returned from a 2 month vacation in Arizona and are dropping by for a BBQ this afternoon. It is -3C/26F and foggy now and it only forecast to reach 6C/42F this afternoon. Supposed to warm up for the rest of the week. Of course it would because I have to travel up north for work on Tuesday.
Doesn't sound like your day is starting off very good Becky. That's what happens if the landlord try's to be a DIY'er rather than hire a professional. Hopefully they will get it sorted out.
Most employee's in Canada get Good Friday and Easter Monday off as paid holiday's. Some employee's do have to work but they are usually paid overtime for those day's.

The Red are very similar to Black Angus Eric. most farmers use a Red Angus bull to breed their first time cow's because they are easy calving.
The first born calf is almost a couple weeks old now. I emailed Judy KW a picture so I'm sure she will post it when she gets time. He does look like his Daddy who was a Herdford bull because he has a white face.
If you soon don't get to reading your paper it will be day old news. LOL

Hey folks
Been a while since I had a chance to visit the site other than to read a few post. Had to go and pick up 4 purebred, registered Red Angus cow's for the farm and the bull I bought in January arrived yesterday. This little hobby is getting expensive. No new calves lately but still waiting on 3 more to decide that it is time to appear.
Beginning to get busy with work and will be traveling alot over the summer. Annette I agree with you that this work thing really cuts into the fun time. really sucks to be working on Good friday though.
Eric I have seen alot of those burly biker's delivering fuzzy toy's. i guess you really can't judge a book by it's cover.
Judy I thought you were back home as well !! Take care.

Judy in MI, I had a great laugh when I read your post, er well about the post that you didn't post. LOL Remember yesterday when I lost mine because you posted the same time. LOL I'm only teasing ya. I know how it feels after typing all that then losing it.
Annette I hope that you and KW Judy are going to take a picture and post it. So happy for you to be meeting a member of this family. I was supposed to meet a member a couple years ago when I was going to be in her City on business. I couldn't reach her when I got there and found out after that she was in hospital for 10 days. Never did get to meet. So enjoy !!!!
-
LOL Lost my post when Judy MI posted the same time. She has done that a few times. LOL Oh well I'll write again later.
-
Well Annette I'm not sure if Eric wants to see ME jumping out of a cake in my outfit, but then again he was the one who gave me the tutu! LOL

Hey folks
Another great day with blue sky's and snow melting. I have the snowmobile put away for the year so now i want the snow gone ASAP. LOL
I've always been a morning person but not quite as early as Bud. Now waiting for cow's to calve, sleep is difficult to get with having to go check on them every 2 hours during the night. This morning I checked at 1am and was still awake when the next check came at 3am. Makes for a long day. Maybe this hobby farm is not such a good idea. LOL
-
Hey folks
Like you Judy MI, I think spring is on the way. It is +10C/50F here now but still dips below freezing during the night. I find it different for the snow to be melting in April. When I lived farther up north, snow in late May was common and there was still ice on the lakes until mid June.
Juby KW and Annette are meeting up ??? Hopefully Stan and Keith can keep you two ladies out of trouble. LOL I hear that Judy is a real partier. Always nice to hear that members are getting together.

Hey everyone
Eric if you are listening to music online I would be careful. My daughter showed me this site called grooveshark. Was great just type in a song or artist and just sit back and enjoy. Well very quickly my computer got this blaster. worm virus. Couldn't even open the internet to fix it. Went to neighbors and downloaded a fix on disc and tried that without any luck. Being computer illiterate, I probably spent enough on phone calls to my son and daughter to purchase a new computer. Finally gave up and dug out an old computer I had.
No calves yet Judy but the Llama did have a baby that was born premature and didn't make it. I'll take a picture of the first calf for you. Should be any day now.

The temperature's here are not too cold which mean's above freezing. They are forecasting warmer temperatures for the end of the week which is great with the cow's due to start calving after April 1st. I have to go up north tomorrow and Wednesday for work so I'm hoping it is after April 1st. LOL
Ginny they play a couple games of snow golf up north during the winter when temperature's are well below freezing. If your temperature doesn't warm up for your league start, you should sign up for snow golf next year. On June 21st they have a midnight golf tournament which runs 24 hours straight. It is very popular and even attracts a few celebrities each year.
Annette I thought about you when I heard that Richmond had won. Gotta love cheering for the underdog. Hope they go all they way.
Back on the road again Judy ? I think Stan should make a road trip up north some day and check out the great fishing.

Hi Debbi
Welcome to this great site but sorry that you have a need to be here. Members here have been in the same position you are now and know how difficult it is. We are here to help you in anyway we can whether it is answers to questions from our experience or just someone to vent to.
First when I was told that they found a spot on my lung, I spent hours online trying to get as much information as I could. I agree with being your own advocate and should have as much information as possible but it can be overwhelming. There are different types, stages, treatment options, etc. Once you get answers to these questions, things will get clearer and a plan will get in place.
Also when I heard that news, my mind went in overdrive thinking about all the people I ever knew who was diagnosed with cancer. Every friend also had stories about people they knew. Treatments have changed and greatly improved and as I mentioned there are many differences, so don't compare yourself to someone else. There are alot of success stories on here as well. Take care.

Well it is good that you found Thursday's air Judy. Annette is also another sleuth on the site and tracked me down. I was MIA for a good and bad reason. The bad was I was on the road for week. The good was that I also visited my oldest daughter who had my first grandchild on March 12. A baby boy. So I'm just getting back to the farm and have to leave again on Monday but only for a couple days.
FRIDAY'S AIR

Sorry to read about your Mom's heart attack Annette. Some things are beyond our control and I'm sure Katie will understand.
Hey Eric we may have to break out the tu tu's and kilt and keep each other company this weekend. LOL
Wishing everyone safe travels and have a great weekend.
