[B. Saffles Farms]

I know exactly what you mean Maple, about the rehab. I look around and all these older people are doing twice as much as I am.

I just stick out like a sore thumb in there.
Get used to bruising, I have only had 1 or 2 bruises until I got put on these blood thinners, now I get them all the time. Glad to hear its going good. Yep I want to see my 2 kids grow up, thats my motivation. Im gonna do it one way on another too.

Wolverine wears yellow spandex in the comics, or should I say graphic novels.


g, your story is scaring me a bit. One day you're going full guns and the next day you can barely walk.

Take care of yourself so you can take care of those two little girls. Also so you can keep us entertained.

Hey Maple, when you were having all that back pain awhile back, is that now being associated with your heart condition possibly?

I am a little late to this post but. You are never to young to have a heart attack. My wife was 42. If she hadn't worked in the ER she might not be here.
They say a womens' first heart attack is her last because a women signs arent' the same as a man's.
Ladies if you haven't already looked it up do it now.

I was 29 when I had my heart attack.

I pay close attention to pains now.

Today I had 3 guys help me out and put in new fence around my coop and secured the chicken yard.

The older one said, he could cross out having a rooster as a pet now.

and then later said, I wonder what guy thought, hey, those might be good to eat...as they cleaned out the coop and came across 3 eggs.

ha ha ha...they were crackin me up. whoops, no pun intended.

At least the one I knew was used to workin on a farm and puttin in fences---barbed wire and all and drivin combines....since his dad has a farm and he works it with him from time to time. So he led the others into stretchin the fence and then had metal wire to fasten an inner layer of chicken wire to the sturdier outside fencing...and I had them bury it too.

I mostly sat on a lawn chair and told them what else they could do that would help me...burn my burn pile, fetch my gutter spouts that were blown off, and bring my patio furniture out. I got up and moved enough to work up a sweat and make me take a couple hour nap after they left.



You know boo...I think the lower back pain was something all it's own but it does make me think that perhaps I was having symptoms back then but it just wasn't as evident as it is now. I do recall feeling so fatigued and out of breath after certain things and thinking...gosh, am I out of shape but feeling that everytime I got physical and got breathy that was a good thing because it meant I was working out. But the feeling of fatigue was disheartening...because I just couldn't shake it and felt like I wasn't getting done the things I ought to get done, you know? And I kept thinking...why am I so tired all the time? well...now I know.

....I always wore black spandex under my soccer uniform if it was cold out...I did own hot pink and white stripped workout outfit and blue leggings with the stripes across the calf like addidas at one point in my younger years. There....are you happy dac? Does that satisfy your spandex comparisons?

FINE!!! When blind melon's "No Rain" vid came out with that little girl in a ballerina tutu and dressed like a bee....I did make an outfit with a yellow t-shirt I sewed black sequins to like the outfit in the vid, I doned black spandex leggings, and a yellow tutu. And I had an antennas.

There...and that was as close as I got to wearing yellow spandex!

When I was in high school (keep in mind that I graduated in 1985) my 9th grade history teacher told us all about the creases in the earlobes/heart disease link. He had already had at least one heart attack when I was in his class -- he was probably in his mid 50s then. Well, he just passed away earlier this year, but I'm happy to say that Mr. Perry lived to the ripe old age of 83 and he is home with the Lord now.

Hey Maple, if they run out of anything to do at your place send em down my way.
