Rachel, you'll be cooking for that crew and you too especially if you start on that pot.

Rachel
Though it may be will never be good as new your body will heal...it's just a long road.
Your doing all the right things (living your life).
The people that don't fair so well are the people who sit around and don't continue growing (spiritually, personally,etc).
I was a goer....they told me walk 2 miles a day,I walked 4.
Swear to God first weekend back home I went ice fishing, all 120 sickly pounds of me. My friend I was with fell through the ice, straight up he just disappears right in front of me. Well he managed to get out told me to go back to the truck, as if I would have fallen in I'd not have survived. Well he passed me on the way back. Stripped down to his long johns. We drive home got a new change of clothes and went to a safer lake.
I told the doctors what happened...their response was...we would have told you not to ice fish but we knew you would anyway...
The point to my story is .....I lived my life even though I was not well...I am convinced to this day that is why I did so well....granted I now have a lot of health issues but I still live my life every day.....I see a therapist for help with pain and depression...I told him about this thread and that you all added a valuable resource for me to have. So I can continue leading my life.....okay you all I'm done rambling for the day.. All short post with happy thoughts for the rest of the day....

Rachel, I think that's great with the labor barter! Wish we had something similar here but you'd be hard pressed to find enough people willing to work to trade with

And you aren't just sitting around being waited on lady...you do plenty!

Funny you mention maybe trying ducks again. I've been giving serious thought to trying a few for the first time next year. DH is such a dear, he just says "do what makes you happy" and then I put him to work building stuff for me, lol. Ah, he's great. A good spouse is a true gift.

Phil, don't worry about rambling, venting, whatever you say is fine. As sour likes to say "this is our safe place".

Trust me, I have plenty of cannabis growing all around me. We just had "Croptober" when everyone harvested, the smell just hung here for weeks. But, we've been discussing putting our place on the market, and hopefully someone is cash-flush from the harvest and wants to buy our place. Not sure the house will finance as it is, those old trailers, you know.

I did take some marinol tabs right after my transplant, to help me eat. Honestly, I didn't see much results, either from appetite or a high. Course, I was on a LOT of Dilaudid during that time, talk about stoned! But, I'm basically an anti-marijuana person all around. I'm probably one of the few folks in this country who has never tried a recreational drug, or even smoked a cigarette. yep, straight and narrow, that's me. I know it can have it's place medically for some folks, but living here in Oregon I've seen our "medical marijuana" laws so distorted and taken advantage of, it's made me sick. Plus, I have The Locusts to be a role model for. We've taken the stance of Drugs Are Bad with them, so I need to live that.

Plus, the weight gain from the prednisone is bad enough...I can't imagine something that would add to that, plus make me not as motivated to get off my butt.....they'd have to be rolling me around before long.

nongmo, please don't be offended we're dissing the pot. I understand the oil you were talking bout is different, I've had folks recommend that to me in the past and have done some research on it. Didn't see how it would be effective for my situation, but I like when folks suggest things so I can research. Thank you!

nongmo, do not be offended. It's just us 'being us.' Welcome to Rachel's support team.

I am such a square- you all were talking about pot and I was thinking:

No wonder I wasn't following it well. I was thinking maybe I needed a nap or something.

Now that is a great looking pot! I can just picture it full of beef stew straight from the oven on a cold winter night.

I picture that pot full of chicken paprikas.
