deb, small meals, more often, and don't forget to eat when you should. The low blood sugar may have set you up for the panic attack. You can do this!

Ron, thank you! I knew you would know how to get the word out.

By 10 am it was 96 degrees out. I raked out all the coops. I stacked what I raked in the runs. I simply could not load it all in the wagon, and haul it out. I'll do that in the morning. I also want to spray all the coops, and dust the chickens tomorrow. While I'm spraying, Dd can scrub out all the feeders, and water buckets. She's not going to be happy having to get up before noon, but that's just too darn bad. I can't wait until the middle of the afternoon, when she decides to get up, to do physical labor. It's just too hot. When I spray the coops, I'll also spray my garden again.

She might feel better.... getting up at a decent time.

Don't forget to drink lots with that heat.

Thanks everyone... This is a special diet... Only Two weeks worth... It ends a day or two before surgery where I will go on clear liquids only. chicken broth Etc.

After surgery again Clear liquids only for about 24 hours... then a gradual ramp to soft foods and eventually back to solids.

Morning everyone.

Well, yesterday was Hell. Hopefully today will be better. No, gotta go for my Prolia shot so there goes today.

Where to [email protected]. Hang in there, sweetie. You may find you have to adjust your diabetic meds to accommodate the diet change. Always good to need less of that stuff. Lots of good advice that I agree with.Hang in there and remember we are here and rooting for you.

@CapricornFarm and @superchemicalgirl. I love the quilts. Beautiful as always. Makes mine look like a hack job. I have 4 rows laid out and basted together. I thought I was done with the embroidering and discovered I need two more squares.Can you tell I'm tired of embroidering?

Yesterday, officially Hell Day. We had 5 inches of rain here. It rained off and on all day and started with a constant downpour around 7 pm that lasted mostly all night. No internet although our HAM radio on the local frequencies was up and running. We barely had tv which helped. Lots of thunder and lightning but no severe weather. The area is pretty well and severely flooded. We are hoping we can make it to K'ville this morning.

I'm almost afraid to go out to the coop soon. Thank God for muck boots is all I can say.

Then yesterday afternoon one of the cats had made the bad decision to run across the livingroom floor while the pups were in. We have been careful to keep them segregated since the pups have such a strong chasing instinct that it never turns out well. They were trying to 'heel' the poor little cat who didn't appreciate the attention went into fight and flight mode which just spurred the cattle dog pups on. We tried to pull the dogs away from the cat and in the midst I encountered cat. The cat thought I was just another dog and latched onto my hand with her teeth. Yep, got bit and lacerated to the bone. One area needed a stitch or two but I said to heck with it. The weather sucked. I was bleeding copiously. We were grabbing dogs and stuffing them back in the utility room. The silly cat in the meantime figured out that if she stopped running the dogs would leave her alone. She seemed to be alright. Maybe some minor nips but nothing that was life threatening and nobody wanted to touch her at that point for fear of sustaining more injuries. Naturally the cat that this happened to is our psychokitty. Imagine SGC's turkey with teeth and claws and you pretty well have the picture.

DH got me patched up. I have an incredibly sore left hand along with scratch marks on my right arm. I need to get pictures of it later when I change the dressing along with pics of the quilt and hopefully the new chicks which are adorable. In the meantime I have a pretty useless left hand and antibiotics that I need to take.

Right now time for breakfast and a few pain pills. Later dudes....
