EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[BullChick]

Thanks Sall.
It is amazing how much tranquility this hobby is giving me.
I learne a lot. I have made an aluminum cast for my first time, and I learn how to join different metals without welding, just by using rivets and more and more... it's amaze me how much improvement I have achieved in a short time.

My Westley is awesome!

Of 14 eggs in the incubator, 12 are wiggling around. I remember seeing one incredibly active one.
Another 5-6 days until they will hatch.

He's still kicking, but not quite as high as normal. Went through 5 radiation treatments in 7 days a couple weeks ago; have to go back later to see how the lung looks.

Scheduled a colonoscopy for this past Monday to see if the cancer had returned there (mass in the lung was matastisized colon cancer). Spent Sunday doing the prep, & by midnight was losing fluid faster than I could replenish it. Ultimately blacked out from dehydration; piled up on the floor. Spent the rest of the morning 'til 8 in the ER, then walked around the corner for the colonoscopy. Had some biopsies done from the colon, including a polyp that the doc didn't like the looks of.

Going to have chemo, much to my dismay; probably 6 months' worth. Not looking forward to that at all.

Brother died of cancer Tuesday morning in NC, 6 weeks after our oldest sister; lasted longer than I figured he would. Just turned 61 in February.

Other than all that, I'm fine; weather's nice, sun's shining, still have to look down to see the grass, and there are plenty of folks worse off than me.

Thanks for the concern...

My heart goes out to y'all. Prayers for you and your family.

In lighter news, my proofing basket came in from Germany today. The loaf it made is GORGEOUS and I think I may be addicted.

I'll post photos when it's done baking, it's seriously a game-changer.

I guess I'm hard to forget. Not sure whether that's good or bad
