They took JJ (grandson) in for a postop appt yesterday and found out his lung was filling with liquid. So he is back in the hospital , so they can drain it and try to figure out why it happened


Prayers for your family today:(

Appearantly, the fluid is a possible side from the heart surgery. I believed they removed over a liter of fluid, which seems an impossibly large amount. They will keep draining his lung for the next three days or so.

Mother Nature is having fun in Nebraska tonight. Tornado watches, road closures for snow, wind gusts to 45 mph. Something for everybody! It is spring in Nebraska. Did I mention we were in the upper 70s earlier in the day?

Morning All as well, though it's my opinion I will be snoozing soonish.
Is anyone interested in a recent report of the findings showing a decrease in sea turtle by-catch mortality rates from entanglement with gill-nets when LED lights are added to the nets? It doesn't impact fish capture rates, and saves endangered sea turtles. Let me know and I'll post the article from the study in the sea turtles section.
And happy Thursday to all,

What a difference a day makes! Yesterday, I was wearing a t-shirt outside. I was actually doing some painting. Today, brrrrr cold! Not even 32 and then there is the strong wind. Just glad I do not live in CO.

You'd better watch what you say Missy, I could come see you then head straight South to Texass......it wouldn't be that far out of my way. Hell, on a road trip is there really an "out of the way" Here I come, better clean your house and put clean sheets on the couch....hahahaha

A short while ago I bought a 5 gallon, electric sprayer. I tried it out this a.m. And I'm tellin' you...WHAT A GREAT INVENTION!! I used to use a 3 or 4 (?) gallon back pack sprayer. It kills my shoulders where the straps go, and you have to keep pumping it all the time. This new one is on wheels and has a rechargeable battery with a mini air compressor inside. So I mixed up my Round-Up solution, added 5 gallons of water and a bit of emulsifier and turned it on. Wow! How easy it is. No pumping. No back breaking. I sprayed the whole driveway in about 20 minutes. The bad part of it (there always has to be a down side, huh?) is cleaning it out. It's real hard to rinse it out what with the long handle, the wheels and the large capacity.

So now I've got the Weedeater sitting in the sun and in a few minutes I'll be going out to whack down the jungle around the barn. I finally have my mojo back. It has taken a heck of a long time to recuperate from the kidney stone. But I'm rarin' to go!!

You're way more productive than I am today! I did run to the store but I have a huge headache and this baby won't stay asleep today. Usually it's 9:30-12ish but today nada! Just a couple cat naps while I'm trying to care for the torts and get lunch ready for my friend who is coming on her lunch break.
I never get headaches!
