Granny's gone and done it again

Hi Pam, is Tom still taking the Tramadol in addition to the new pain pill? The reason I ask is that my SIL got all kooky when too much SSRI built up in his system while taking Tramadol. He got all wired up like Tom, he couldn't sleep, he couldn't sit, he was just up down, up down almost like a manic episode. Went on for days until he crashed his car just leaving our driveway. He no longer takes Tramadol. Sure hope they can figure this stuff out for Tom.
Has been a crazy 2 days here. My youngest dd asked if my Mom & FIL could be invited for Rod's birthday supper & then oldest dd called to ask if her and the 3 kids could come out too for the day. Ended up with a houseful & dd ended up being in so much stomach pain. (Doctors still didnt have a definate diagnoses for what has been causing all her pain.) She started having bloody stool the end of this week & was scheduled to see her family doctor on Monday, but she was in such severe pain & feeling like she was going to pass out that I said your going to ER. That way they could get a jump on possibly diagnosing what's going on & refer to to a GI doctor. As it turns out it was a very good thing she went in. Her blood pressure was very low, they suspected a bleeding upper GI Ulcer so they did a cat scan. She does have a Peptic bleeding Ulcer & a enflamed gallbladder, but she is also bleeding from the rectum. They are referring her to a GI doctor for a scope test of the stomach & to have a colonoscopy done. They've put her on a medication regiment that she has to take 4 times a day & told her the earliest she could go back to work would be Friday. And that is dependant upon if the bleeding has decreased. She works a very physical job & they are worried that because of the major heavy lifting she does that the ulcer could rupture through the stomach lining. Just praying that nothing else is found with the upcoming tests, she has enough to heal already. They say, and try not to have any stress when you have a 16 yr old, a 3 yr old, a 4 1/2 yr old & a husband that acts like he's 2. Plus she is a acting floor manager to 25 employees for a nation wide shipping company. She tosses around truck tires like they don't weigh a thing. She tells me, that's the light stuff mom, you should see the furniture we have to load. I have had 2 days with the kiddos & am wiped out. They have left for home now so I can't visit long. My birds still haven't been fed or watered yet & I'm hoping to get some grass mowed. Hope to bbl if I'm not too tired.

Lisa, how terrible for your daughter. I hope they find the problem soon and that it is an easy fix. Prayers coming your way.

Ha ! One of them is still wet ! LOL You will have a nice variety of color.

That one was glued in, and has curled toes. A couple have splay legs but the hocks seem fine so I’ll try taping. Pearl, pied, pinto, and that solid white oddball.

Very odd how the white is WHITE, not light yellow like chickens and ducks.
They are very cute.
Has everyone recovered from the virus?

Bubba is at home convalescing. I don’t feel great but I’m up and about.

You had a necropsy to confirm, didn't you?
Were the new chicks vaccinated?
Your other chickens that were exposed are likely to have shortened lives from the tumors that come with Mareks, and they will be shedding virus too.

No sandhill doesn’t vaccinate and to buy the vaccine for the ones I hatched wasn’t cost effective plus the way the vaccine doesn’t work. So much conflicting advice. I know people that got their chicks vaccinated and they still died. They really don’t have clue about the disease. Some say one thing others say another.

This is my berry patch. Trying to weed out the stuff that doesn't belong.
There are blueberries and blackberries in there. Adding some strawberries and mulch.

I think this article has given me the best info so far.
