Well after 4 hours at the ER I know nothing more than I knew when I went in. I have Peripheral Edema, blood tests look normal and only thing they think it could be is caused by the surgery. Wear compression stockings and keep elevated which I had been doing since Monday when I seen the urgent care dr and it has done nothing. They said no aspirin in case I start bleeding from surgery site and to follow up with the ENT dr. The same dr that hasn't called to check on how I've been since surgery or to set up a post-op appt, and same office that told me they didn't deal with the swelling in the first place. And this is our medical care that is getting paid thousands to care for all of us Wisconsinites!
THIS IS CRAP!!!
Didn't rain at all in town, but when I got home saw that it had but not enough to say it had.
Ok son 14 has come up with a plan and I told him I'd run it by the group to see if it's something worth while. He wants to sell his rabbits to purchase some chickens to start his own new breed(if it hasn't been done yet) "Lavenderahmas" (Lav Orp x Light Brahmas) He's going for the lav body color with the black points that brahmas have. I am so new to breeding that is it even possible to get the color that he wants? He loves Brahmas, but isn't overly fond of the colors they come in. This whole thing come about as he's sure he will win the Pullet Surprise and get an incubator, if not he's planning on saving his allowance and buying a cabinet. That boy sure has big plans. I'm trying to convince him to just take a breed and spending the money to get a nice small flock and selling chicks but why listen to mom.
Well it is really fun to try to make a "new" breed. I certainly wouldnt discourage him! I have finally had success with my muskovies after 8 years! If nothing else it will keep him busy!
I just realized yesterday that I have tons of jewelry that I make, why not take it to the swap/craft sale to try and sell. I usually spend most of my winters making it, usually to give to family and friends for xmas gifts or other holidays. This past year though while my daughter was working at the green house they let me have it for sale there until it was selling like hotcakes and they wanted to charge me 25% commission, well if I had know this before I started I could of priced it accordingly before I grew a quite large client base. I kept my prices low enough that I was making a small profit but paying for the product and was selling steady. I ended up pulling all my stock as I didn't want to increase the prices to accommodate her overly greedy boss. The worst part is when this happened I had been at the shop the past 2 days and seen her but she said nothing to me. She had another worker tell my daughter to tell me. Anyhow, long rant, just wanted to share my epiphany with everyone.
