To my friends at BYC ..sorry not at chickenfest Oregon/ Sick

[Jessika]

Any ways so sorry I wasn't able to attend. I had a stroke that week. I am doing better but this one left me some damage on left hand side. No sympathy needed...could be worse.

I don't whine about my issues...most do not know...but this time it really showing.

This is to apologize for not being around. I asked other half to write a note on here under me (the Thursday before is when my body let me down). He looked at me as if I were nuts. Said I had bigger issues (he's right and he wouldn't of written it right anyways lol)

I will be around once in a while and I am going to have to down size my farm. I had to let my nubians go (well 2 have sold so far) as I can't hand milk very easily right now. I am still keeping some chickens, as they are easy to care for. And hey...I managed to keep my part time job! So don't be sad or anything...heck I am still all here in the head (I think lol). Just figured I owed it to those I didn't meet on Sat, June 13th.

Take Care,
Jessie

I know you don't want sympathy...I just wanted to say Good Luck! Hope all your health stuff works out and you can someday upgrade your farm again.

There are amazing stroke therapies out there now. I know of someone that went to the orient to seek some amazing therapies there including acupuncture, and massage physical therapy to regain use of his limbs. He had much success. Many of those therapies are also being practiced here in the states now because of the obvious success of whole-life treatment in the orient.
I wish you much success in this challenge that God has set out for you, and hope it brings good people into your life that you might not have met otherwise.
