Pendergrass Ranch - Big changes!

On a side note. The doctor at the ER totally annoyed me.

They couldn't get a proper blood pressure on me at triage so they just put me in the back and hooked me to an IV first. They took blood and said it "didn't look like I lost a significant amount".

I just kept telling them "I lost a lot, at least a quart or so it seemed". I mean I could have scooped up cups full from between my legs on the drivers seat. Thankfully we have waterproof seat covers.

He just said "well it could have been mixed with other fluid".

Which is true.

Then the next morning they drew more blood and realized that I had lost way more than they first thought and immediately ordered new blood.

Silly people. I was white as a ghost! Even my Rosacea was gone. My skin looked yellow and white blotchy. It was gross.

Gosh. What is it that you were diagnosed if you don't mind my asking.
I agree. I think I would def. just hit the couch and not worry about trying to work right now.

New jobs are stressful as it is let alone adding a serious ailment to the mix.

Ulcerative Colitis is my diagnosis. I know for sure it is triggered by stress but I'm really not sure why I would bleed like that. It's never happen before. I've been asking on some UC Forums to see if its common.

Wow, that is scary. I sure hope that they can help get this disease under control fast for you.

Got great news this morning. My insurance is now going and my prescriptions are covered fully. That is a huge weight off my shoulders. I just got off the phone with the GI so I can get that rolling

Here is to better days!

Whew. FINALLY have an appointment with the GI. I can't wait to go.

I'm rounding up the quackers and taking them to be traded. By by ducks, hello laying hens!

Just some photos of 3 of my new birds and where the ND's are at with their pregnancies.

Drew and I are failing miserably to get our garden started. I'm sure my illness had a lot to do with it. I'm sure it will get done sooner than later.

Had quite a busy weekend.


Drew had our friend over and switched out his 4runner motor. Well worth the effort. They found so many metal bits in the old motor. Drew had gotten the new motor for free from a coworker of his. Took it to his buddys shop, had them spruce it up and popped it in the truck.

We also managed to mow a lot. Babies are good, they got to run around in the big pasture. I'm still paranoid about them being out there but we will take it slow.

I replanted seeds to start that again. I killed the first batch when I was sick. The goats ate our corn too. We also planted the squash, and onions. Got the chickens out of the garden so we could level the boxes and start setting up for tomatoes and the rest of the goodies.

Drew threw a stick at my SSH rooster and almost killed him. He got an earful for that. Rooster seems okay, he was stunned for a while.

There were a bunch of kids over this weekend so I'm 110% SICK of kids right now. The high pitch voices, screaming, hollering, whining about food and soda and candy. Makes me very glad that I don't have kids. I would never allow my child to have soda and candy all the time. Eat a damn carrot and drink some water.

Been feeling better. My chest hurts all the time from the medication. My gut still hurts a bit and I'm working on my energy. I get up early because I have to take medication and eat something to coat my tummy.

Anyway, I had a long weekend and I'm pooped
