A bit overdue but better late than never…….

GOOD NEWS: The drain stuck in my side for the past two months has been finally removed. After consulting with my surgeon and weighing the pros and cons we decided to take it out. So I’m not walking around with a piece of luggage sticking out from under my left arm. Let’s hope it stays that way.
In Joe Biden’s voice ~ “Here’s the deal….” If the cyst returns and begins producing….err……’fluid’ again, a new drain will be put in. More fun times! I’ll have to start getting CT scans and of course, the medical bills will continue to climb. If it cannot be stopped my spleen will have to be removed. This presents the possibility of numerous complications including one in particular I’ve spent my entire life avoiding.
‘nuf said.
I remain around 185 pounds and overall feel pretty good. It’s only been a few days and soon I’ll hit the gym and continue improving my diet.
For anyone who may have missed what’s occurred – you can read about it here and I’m still thankful to anyone who can assist with the costs(no insurance).

I’ll post another garden update soon. I’m so happy that the garden is coming along very well. Last year I had big plans to get the garden going and it did not do very well. A combination of a lack of time as well as starting the garden area from scratch without the tools certainly had an impact. This year was quite different as we had a plan and even with my hospitalization and being laid up for several weeks MPG kept us on track.
Down in the Southeast, I’d be in the midst of harvesting a ton of food from the first planting. Here in Maine, we are going to start picking within the next day or two for the first and ONLY planting.

I stopped at a local gun shop this past week and grabbed a box of 9mm and .22 Magnum ammunition. I’m good with my ammunition stocks, however, I try to add a box here and there every couple of weeks.

If you are unaware we have a survival & preparedness store here on this website. We carry a variety of unique and budget-friendly items and everything ships for free in the USA.
Bringing this up in case we have some new visitors as well as mentioning to check back often as several new products will be added soon. I’ll let everyone know when they drop.

Woohoo! Glad things are finally looking up. I hope it stays that way.
My garden plans for this year kind of went right down the drain. Or down the gullets of various deer, rabbits, and groundhogs. They ate every last seedling I transplanted, including the wildflowers. It’s still early enough here that I can plant more seeds, but I’m going to try them in planters on the porch instead!
That’s great news, hopefully that’s it , the body is an amazing thing ! Yes our garden has been all off this year with warmer than expected temperatures and next to no rain and then extreme frosts that killed a lot of what I was working on . But lessons learned for next time .
glad you are on the mend.

My small veggie garden is doing well.
AgIn…..good luck!!
Oh no! That’s awful about your garden! We need to put up a fence! We did plant some marigolds which I was told would help so so far so good.
Kind of curious of why you moved so far north? Especially with the shorter growing season. Good on your health getting better!
