I'm still here
Well, I am still here. I had my little "procedure" on Thursday morning, the 20th. We got to the surgery center at 7 am, and I was not really awake, but I was crabby as I could not have tea or coffee or anything. Got all prepped, and was wheeled in at 8:20 am and then at 9:30 am, I walked out the door, sore, alittle groggy, and glad it was over with.
I am happy to report I did not get sick. I did however have a small migraine from not having any caffeine. So when I stepped into the house, I fixed a small cup of coffee, a little stronger than I usually drink and sipped on it and then I crawled into bed and slept most of the day and had a tiny bowl of homemade vegetable beef soup one of my house neighbors made for us for supper, which I felt was so special. Then off to bed again, and slept all night.
Had a small migraine in the morning but drank a cup of coffee and then a pain pill and then slowly the headache eased up. Still no upset tummy, which I was so happy about. I was dreading the after affects of the anesthesia more than the biopsy itself. I go back the first of October for results, which I hate waiting to know anything.
Friday, I got a call from the County assessors office. The lady that called has worked with me several times before on my tax corrections on my modular. She told me that the park is in the process of being sold. She is starting to get abstract papers from the abstract company and she would call me next week to tell me what is going on, and what I need to do. I may have to get my attorney after all. Seems like the owner, who is also my banker, and holds my title, was trying to toss my trailer into the sale, which he can't as I have had it tax corrected in 2006, and I pay my own property taxes on the trailer. I also have a written contract on the trailer itself, so it will be a fight either way. My attorney mentioned he can either buy the trailer back or cancel the contract. The rest of the trailers are attached to the lots and and all connected to the park except for another trailer and myself. So I am not sure how that is going to go. I am gearing up for a fight, but I am waiting to hear from the assessors office first to see what is going on, and who the new owner(s) are. Another waiting game on this too.
The garden is done for. We are getting down in the 30's now. It is supposed to get to 32* F tonight and so I covered the two patio tomatoes and the hot peppers but they are just about done producing. A few more days and I will pull those too. Personally, I will be glad when this year gets over with.
I have a lot of produce in the freezer to process later when it get colder. Green tomatoes, red ones, and peppers. I am going to try Ilene's chow-chow recipe she sent me. Thank you Ilene.
I have been waiting to see if my other house neighbor, who has the huge garden, will ask if I want any more tomatoes. He has been waiting for his ex-wife and some other people from his church to come and pick produce. He thinks that they have been over, but since we are home most of the time, we have not seen anyone over picking. I hate waste of anything, and I could use the extra tomatoes for my pantry. I had asked him (the neighbor) if I could pick some, but he keeps telling me that the ex will be by to pick. She is just starting to learn to can and she is not a serious student of the home arts, and generally by the time the house neighbor asks me if I want them, they are too far rotten to process. I know a few years ago, he asked me and I went over to look, but everything was rotten, or the hoppers had eaten holes in everything and then some kind of worm got in them and I was not going to process worms. He was a little upset with me, but there is nothing I can do about it. I told him that you cannot wait too long to can. He is a nice neighbor, but ignorant about canning and processing food.
Well, that is about it for now. I am still tired at the end of the day, I think still from the anesthesia. We got done with supper and I think that I am going to take my shoes off and sit my hind end in the chair and read. I have a new Mother Earth News, so I will read and then retire a little later.
I will also take photos of the kittens , Dexter and Sophia. They are growing and becoming very independent. Sophie has gotten some attitude now, she is a fighter and it shows. But she is a doll and I love her. ( I just added their photos, D had to hold them, they wanted to explore and wiggle).
Well, I wish everyone a wonderful rest of the weekend, and a productive week.

Murphy's Law or "Houston, we have a problem"
Good Morning Everyone,
Well....I really should be in surgery or coming out of it, but being Murphy's Law as it plays out in my life, my surgery did not manifest itself today, but only delayed until the 20th of September.
I was making supper late, about 4:45 pm, I get a phone call from the doctor's office. It was his surgical nurse that sets up the appointments and gets everything in order.
She asked if possible, I could just delay the surgery until a little later date in the month. Then she told me that the doctor had two emergency surgeries scheduled right during the early morning on my surgery time, but we could do it, BUT, it would be very late afternoon....WHAT!!! It seems that all hell broke loose about mid afternoon at the doctor's office yesterday.
Its a no-brainer to me. NO, I do not want a tired, exhausted doctor working on me after two long emergency surgeries and countless other interruptions. So I rescheduled for the 20th and hopefully all of the bad karma will not fall on that day also, we'll see.
I am a funny creature. If someone is going to be playing exploratory surgery in my innards, I want a fresh-as-a-daisy doctor who will not cut off something or poke holes in my innards if he has been up for 24 hours poking in someone else's innards.
I a not a trusting creature with physicians. I know that they are healers, but I have also had physicians who were greedy and looked at me like a dollar bill for their new vacation home or new Beamer.
There is a part of me that is glad, but I am also going to have to get psyched up again as I had so much anxiety over this, but again, I am making a judgement call, and I am worried about me for a change and not a doctor's assembly line procedures.
We live in a small town and this doctor is the only doctor we have here that does female type surgeries, plus this doctor is on call to many other hospitals and clinics all over West Central Nebraska. So you see, my call on him being fresh and not exhausted is I feel not being selfish or conceited.
I just want to thank all of you for all of your blessings, and karma. I feel I have just been lying to all of you. I am sorry, but again, I am funny about things being in my corner for a change, and this is one of them. And I bet that some of you feel the same way.
Anyway, I have a few more weeks and then MAYBE I'll get this procedure done and out of the way.
Anyway, I wish everyone a wonderful weekend and much enjoyment. It is delightfully cool here this morning, around 59*, and its suppose to get to around 76* today. And tonight "drum roll", its supposed to get down to 39*!! WOO-HOO.
We still have no rain at all. We are in extreme drought now, and I went to the grocery yesterday to get some things before surgery and WOW, prices, yikes, so I got my basics and toddled off. I am glad I cook from scratch mostly and am somewhat sufficient from the pricey processed food. I still need to stock my pantry with dry milk and other stables but I am working on that and I should be set hopefully by October and set until spring.
Again, Thank you everyone, for your blessings and karma and thoughts, it means so very much to me, I am just sorry that I made a lie out of it, sorta.
Anyway, hugs to all and I will post another Countryside Magazine articles if I can find something interesting.
