Surviving Minnesota!

I must be, becoming accustomed to the weather. I just got home and shut the coop up after slugging the Tom off the fence, and watching him stroll into the coop and giving me the bird...

I stood out there and looked at the stars and what a beautiful night it was. I thought "gee, it is warming up some, I did not think it would be warming untl late next week"

I came inside and saw it was 11 below.. Maybe my nerve endings have froze off? How can a person think -11 is nice?

Maybe.

Really it’s not that bad if there is no wind.

Really it’s not that bad if there is no wind.

11 below with no wind is beautiful. Air is fresh, snow is crisp, and you finally feel comfortable in that overstuffed down coat.

What are you breeding, sasquatches!? My widest bird is probably two quarters. That looks nearly three.

That would be a good farm name for birds, "Sasquatch Farms"

BTW your birds have great heads on them!

Thanks! Thats one thing I can say I like on all of them.

56 here when I got up . Snow is gone except the piles . Dropping temps all day to 16 by tomorrow morning .
So I am pleased with my progress on the knee . At 8 week visit they will X-ray again . I am looking into stem cell treatments for my other issues .

This is a long story about what stattens did to me . I have fatty liver disease caused by drug induced hepatis ( Crestor ) . This lowered my immune system which allowed me to get toxoplasmosis . This ruined my vision in my right eye . I have diabetes which can be caused by fatty liver . So simvastatin ruined my knee . So in the last 15 years or so statins have done a lot of damage . I found a place that does stem cells for diabetes . Looking for one that does it for fatty liver . As the fatty liver progresses my blood sugar is harder to control . Maxed out on insulin dosage and A1c is rising . So I think I should address fatty liver first . Stem cell is not a cure for diabetes but helps . My doctor says it is rare for someone to have this much trouble from statens .

Sorry you have gone through this, your doctor is completely wrong. Statins affect everyone. DO NOT TAKE THEM EVER! EVER!
I completed 20 days of a 30 day supply, I could barely walk my legs hurt so bad, never took another one.
My husband had a heart attack, they put in 3 stents. They put him on a statin, even though he did not have high cholesterol. He lost his mind! his short term memory was gone, he had congnative issues, lethargic, no energy to do anything. He quit taking them on his own. he is ok now.
We told his cardiologist he wasn't taking it anymore, the cardiologist was fine with that. he said his mom thinks they are poison. check out the facebook page "Stopped our Statins" it is one horror story after another. as far as I can tell, they affect everyone, but most people think they are "just getting old" that is why they hurt. it is the dang Statin! Every cell in your body needs cholesterol, EVERY cell. your brain runs on cholesterol. Jerry, get on some good quality co-q 10 immediately if you are not already on it, vitamin D as well. The vitamins BTC mentioned. Through any statin in the trash. there are worse things to die from than a quick heart attack.

Besides that, they lied. The people who push statins lied. just as many people die from heart disease with low cholesterol as high cholesterol. heart disease is caused by inflammation. check out https://spacedoc.com/
he was a doctor at NASA, spent his life crusading against statins, he died of ALS, that he believes was due to statin use as well.

The medical community won't due anything about this statin issue, and keep pushing them because think of the liability!!!

I wish you well Jerry, Go low carb in your eating for sure so that you don't need much insulin. I had fatty liver, and was diagnosed Type 2. in 2011. My A1c was 12.1 when I was diagnosed. Qith very low carb eating, it is at 5.5. my fatty liver is gone now. Good luck, no more statins! poison.

PS, my step dad has cancer, he has taken a statin for 30 years. he is in the most terrible pain. I believe it is from the statin, he won't quit taking it because "It is keeping me alive" they have him so brainwashed, I just cry...
