Thanks for asking Paul. Been conversing with the Ambassador through PM's. Had a great telephone chat with John Pollman today also. We kind of got cut short as the grandkids when they come in our house kind of take over like flood waters! Yep, both daughters and son in laws came for a few hours, split a big pile of wood, loaded three trailers with split wood and pulled them up by the stove for Lou. We got the feeders moved and they unloaded the last 1000 pounds of feed for this batch of calves. Man those four can complete a list of tasks quickly, efficiently and best of all, laughing and joking with each other. The boys went out afterwards and set some trail cameras and sighted in a couple of guns.
Me, still no pulse at the wrist. Giving myself blood thinner shots two times a day in the belly to see if the blood will get thin enough to travel through the artery. Right now it is only getting colateral (?) blood flow. So, two weeks of shots, on the third week go back for tests on blood flow and if not what the surgeon wants, going back into the operating room so they can take a loooooooooooooooooooong vein from my leg and do a bypass from my elbow to the center of my hand. The stuff must be working, the first four shots no problem, this morning's shot, pulled the needle and the hole bled like a faucet. Can't imagine what it will be like at the end of the 24 remaining shots. Told Lou we would need to buy some little round bandaids! Did get a styptic pen but heard they burn. So, that is me for now.
