Great Gobbledygook

 Dave has been digging potatoes, first batch hardened off on tables in the sun and boxed up in pine shavings. We canned up some of the turnips, only 5 qts worth so far. Have another batch pulled. Just as many still in the ground. Also made dill pickles and will make more as the cukes come in. Don't know if the pumpkins will have time to ripen.

Looks like it's time to pick the apples off of the other tree. We did one this morning. The one by house didn't do to well but some is better than nothing. It was trimmed last fall for the first time in years.

It' been very hot this week 102 F. yesterday here, much hotter in the valley but normal summer temps for them really. There used to be months of that but hasn't been for a few years. Cooler and 84 deg. tomorrow, with nights back in the high 50's. Maybe some rain coming in for 3 or 4 days only 30 % chance but winds bringing in the cooler temps. on Friday. Sat. 80 deg. F. Yay. Except for hardening off the rest of the spuds. They will have to go into the car lean-to.

Front ramp is finished.

Some of the new bags made.

Monday the 7th we had gotten in from the garden and putting up some extra temporary fence. Everything seemed fine. I had some breakfast, we watched a April General Conference talk etc. I took a shower, got a dizzy while in it. A bit later got dizzy again. The next time were worse with my right side going fuzzy feeling. The seconds later another one hit and real dizzy and right now head to toe went numb.

At the hospital we found out I had a TIA, a tiny blood clot. Oh joy. Spent the night in the hospital and they started me on Plavix. 

After taking the Plavix 3 to 4 days I started getting woozy headed, balance wasn't good, couldn't sleep well at all, felt tired and weak. Took a pill on the 14th of Aug. and decided that was the last one. I was just getting worse.

Today is Thursday the 17th and finally feel more myself. 

Last week on Wed. I also got a heart monitor stuck to my chest. Supposed to wear it for 21 days, can't get it wet, HA. It itches, so I must be allergic to the adhesive. We called to tell them. Just lovely. I told them I would wear it as long as I could stand it. They said good.
