WHEN I POSTED LAST I WAS JUST STARTING A LONG STRANGE HEALTH ISSUE. I APPARENTLY GOT A BLOOD INFECTION. OVER LABOR DAY WEEKEND I WAS WORKING ON THE WOOD SHED AND CUT MY LEG ON AN OLD SHEET OF GALVINIZED SHEETING I WAS PUTTING ON THE ROOF. A WEEK OR SO LATER, MY HANDS AND WRISTS WERE SO SWOLLEN I COULD HARDLY WORK, AND THEN IT WENT INTO MY LEGS. WELL, AFTER A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT DOCTORS AND SOME TESTS, I THINK THEY FINALLY ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK TO MAKING ME FEEL BETTER.
MY WIFE AND ARE NOT NOT "DOCTOR" PEOPLE. WE'RE MORE VITAMIN, HOMEOPATHIC PEOPLE. I WENT TO THE WITCH DOCTOR FIRST AND HE DIDN'T REALLY HELP THE FIRST TIME AROUND. THEN I WENT TO A "REAL" DOCTOR. HE DID X-RAYS AND BLOOD WORK. I WAITED MORE THAN A MONTH FOR THE SECOND VISIT AND HE SAYS "WELL YOU HAVE ARTHRITS AND YOU'RE OUT OF SHAPE TO DO YOUR JOB." AFTER THAT CONVERSATION I WENT BACK TO THE WITCH DOCTOR. SHOWED HIM THE BLOOD WORK AND X-RAYS, TOLD HIM ABOUT THE CUT ON MY LEG AND LET HIM HAVE AT IT, AND HE SEEMED MORE INTERESTED THE SECOND TIME AROUND.
I'M STILL NOT FULLY RECOVERED, BUT I DO FEEL SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER. I AM FINALLY GETTING AROUND TO WORKING BACK AT THE HOUSE AGAIN,(INSTEAD OF COMING HOME AND SOAKING IN THE TUB AND GOING TO SLEEP AT 6 O'CLOCK!). MY TWO OLDER SONS, MY YOUNGEST SON AND MY WIFE HAVE STEPPED UP BIG TIME THROUGH ALL THIS. THEY CUT THE FIREWOOD, KEPT THE HOUSE RUNNING, ETC. ETC. ETC.. I COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE BLESSED THROUGH ALL OF THIS. I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU AGAIN, BOYS AND WIFE, I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW IMPORTANT YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN, AND THIS CLEARLY SHOWED ME THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN NEARLY PAYING ENOUGH ATTENTION TO THE SMALL THINGS WITH THESE RELATIONSHIPS.
ONE OF THE THINGS I'VE DONE AT HOME IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS WAS TO BUILD A NEW BED FOR MY YOUNGEST SON. IT'S BUILT OUT OF OLD WOODEN DOORS. I HAD A PLETHORA OF WOODEN 4 PANEL DOORS THAT WE HAD COLLECTED FOR THE HOUSE. MY WIFE FOUND A FEW PICTURES IN SOME MAGAZINES AND SHOWED THEM TO ME, AND WE BUILT HIM A NEW BED. I'LL POSTS SOME PICTURES AND THEN A COUPLE MORE WHEN IT'S ALL PAINTED. IT'S ROCK SOLID AND LOOKS PRETTY COOL TOO!
I'M HOPING TO START DOING TRIM IN THE BOY'S BEDROOM THIS WEEKEND. WE'RE THINKING ABOUT HAVING THE MIDDLE SON COME UP FOR A WEEK OR SO AND HELP WITH THE TRIM. I HAVE A WALL TO PUT UP TO FRAME IN A CLOSET IN OUR SPARE ROOM, AND THIS SHOULD TAKE ME TO SPRING. THE OUTSIDE WORK THIS YEAR IS PAINTING THE HOUSE. OH, AND CUTTING FIRE WOOD. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT GETTING SOME ANIMALS, AND IF WE DO I'LL HAVE TO REPAIR AND PUT UP SOME NEW FENCES. I'D LIKE TO MAKE THE GARDEN JUST A LITTLE BIT BIGGER, I'D LIKE TO ADD SOME HERBS(NO NOT THAT KIND! LOL).
WELL, I THINK THAT'S IT FOR NOW. NO PROGRESS ON THE BIKE, I PICKED UP A COUPLE OF PARTS OFF EBAY, BUT THAT'S IT.
TALK TO YOU SOON,
TVI
