YakLady, I am glad you are feeling better. Just be careful not to over do things.

Oopsy, take care of yourself, I hope all will be well and you are feeling better soon.

Opa, I cannot thank you enough for buying that new snow blower!

briana, thanks for the info. I have been thinking about getting some buff orps from Hillbilly Rooster for some time. The problem is the distance since I don't drive much.

I hope you weren't expecting someone to arque with you.

Oopsy, glad you are getting checked out. We prefer to keep you around.

Boyd, I'm the reason the snow hasn't gotten here. New snow blower. Plus David got his snow plow ready to go. If we weren't ready for snow it would be knee deep.

I had remembered that, although my memory is usually spotty at best.... but now that your thinking about it Sam, how bout you check the points on those plugs, and sharpen the tines on that blower..... with any luck we won't have any snow till Feb

YakLady: Oh you poor thing. I know those are painful. Your husband sounds like a wonderful man and Im sure he'll take grand care of you. you just stay in that bed and take your meds as you're suppose to. Only way to get better. If you need anything, I will send you my number in PM , you just call and I can drive out to help.

I landed myself in the hospital yesterday morning. Had some sort of panic attack (I know over this house) and chest started hurting front and back and left arm went numb. Its like jeeesh louise what else can pop up here? Doc's were very nice, ran a ton of tests wanted to keep me over night, but how do you do that with a litter of pups, 5 dogs, 4 horses and 140 some chickens? I signed myself out and going to see a heart specialist tomorrow at 1:30pm. Ahas they wanted a stress test done again even tho I had one in 2008 so to be on the safe side, I agreed to go.

Sarah, so glad you and the kids enjoyed yourself. I bet it was something to always remember.

Thank you everyone for such kind words about the house. Ive always said "try to help others, if you cannot, try harder

Oooopsy, be very careful there. A Panic attack is what precipitated my stroke almost a year ago and I've had a couple since. Take care, and be VERY careful kiddo!

Boyd, that sounds like a good plan

I have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, who really wants snow?

On the other hand.... there is a hill that my husband and I cleared off with the tractor. It was hard work, but it gives us a great view of the valley below, where the yak babies like to play. If it snows, my little boy will have one heck of a cool slope to sled on this year. And, supposedly yaks really love snnow, and get really playful. It's always fun to watch a playful yak. After living in Oklahoma and Texas my whole life, I've kind of been intrigued with the whole snow thing. I was even thinking about getting some snowshoes this year, or maybe take up cross-country skiing.

I will Boyd, these panic attacks started FEb 2008 just after husband died. And they have been managable for some time now. But this one yesterday scared the snot out of me. I thought I was having a heart attack just like the first one I had. But never had my arm gone numb. My hand near my pinky and ring finger is still numb now. But going to heart doc tomorrow so should know more then.

Thats what happened to me also. they told me I had a mild stroke. The others were TIA's but caused by the panic attacks... the thing is, I'd never had anxiety or panic before so when it hit me, I thought I was dying. As it is, it took me almost a year to recover 100%....

Now if I could drop this excess weight... darn that McDonalds......... ARRRRRRRRGgggggggggggggg

Well maybe that is what happened to my arm? I have no idea. But still feels weird. Ive had several hard panic attacks in the last couple weeks but got them stopped as I run barefoot in the cold grass, down the road, do jumping jacks or dance with my dogs outside barefoot. Odd that would stop them. But it does. Its like it takes my mind off from it. Yesterday just like the first one, I couldnt stop it. Kept coming and coming until I was seeing tunnel vision. I said 2 more mins of this and Im going in. All the while I had 9-11 dialed on my cell phone just waiting to push the button. Its such a horrible feeling to not be able to control your very own, body. And I feel for anyone that has panic attacks. I never could quite understand them before, but believe me..I DO NOW.

Its just going to make me a stronger person is all. So I'll just chug along and do what I can to keep things under control.

Everyone enjoy your night.
