Well as usual, I start out with the best of intentions and somehow life jumps up and gets in the way. Due to some serious family health issues, I have not had a lot of time to keep the blog updated. It looks like this is going to be ongoing for some months.
I think I have posted in the past that R had a neck injury that put him out on disability 5 years ago. He has been fighting the disability system ever since and has not had health insurance. Last winter we found a way to get him health care and he has been undergoing testing to find out why he is in so much pain.
They have discovered that not only is his neck still degenerating but both of his hip joints are 80-90 percent gone. Complicate this with high blood pressure that might keep him from surgery and the outlook is not promising. We are working hard at getting his blood pressure down so he will be a candidate for surgery.
In the meantime, he is worried about how we are going to survive if he is not able to do the work around the farm while he is recovering from surgery. I’m sure that with the help of all of our family we will make it through.
This has been a huge distraction from my focus on our finances and the motivation to write. I will be posting from time to time but it is going to be difficult to post with any regularity as quite a bit of the farm work is falling on my shoulders.
