Teresa & Mike CHS - Our journal

I put Taffy and our number 70 ewe lamb back with the three keepers this afternoon. I'm a sucker but I want to do one more fecal on Taffy before we send her to the auction. We brought the main herd into the shop paddock to work hooves but after we did a bunch I found myself light headed so we quit and then later found myself nauseous. It night be dehydration again since I had been out for a couple of hours moving sheep around I checked my blood pressure and it had bottomed out again so I need to figure that out.

Hope you get it figured out as that's not good

Yeh, that is sure something to pay attention to....I can atest to that personally.....

BJ went to his cardiologist 2 weeks ago. He just didn't feel good. For the longest time, he has just been blah. If he bent over, he got dizzy and had to grab something to keep from staggering or falling. We would go outside and work for several hours, then he had to quit. His Dr said to stop taking his blood pressure medication, take his BP 3 times a day, keep a log of it and come back in 2 weeks. So we did. His Dr said he's doing great, come back in a year. So BJ is off his BP medication and feels much better for it. His BP is a little high, according to the desired normal, but it was too low for HIS normal. He feels MUCH better, can bend over, and we can do more outside now.

I say this to tell you that maybe you need to take a hard look at your BP meds, if you are taking any, under the supervision of your doctor. You also need to make sure that you are drinking enough liquids and eating correctly when you and Teresa are outside working. Your car won't run on an empty tank, and you won't either.

I was driving down the driveway going to town and Max and his girls were laying in a pose that made me go back to the house to get the camera. The ewe that he is using as a pillow is always where he is unless I'm out there and then she wants me to scratch her back.

That's a really cool pic!

Ya may have trouble gettin him back out of there....
Glad he has settled right in for ya. Hope ya are feeling better today.....

Thank you. I still feel puny but not as bad as yesterday. I'm thinking I picked up a bug somewhere.

Glad you're feeling a bit better - hope the bug disappears quickly!

I love that picture. That is one to frame and put on the wall.
