If my GI can push through the insurance, I will be having
anastomsis surgery or ileostony surgery within 4-6 wks. He is wanting to me be
recovered enough before gardens are needing canned. Nice to have a doctor that
is willing to look at your life and say this makes it easier for you.
The cycle is getting more
often on my Crohn's attacks, the attacks are caused by scar tissue from having
my appendix rupture. He is HOPING that an anastomsis is possible and takes that
cycle down to YEARS not months. Worse is ileostony...well in my eyes being told
my entire small intestine was dying would be the worse because I am not a good
candidate for transplants.
I will have blood work done
before I leave here in 2-3 days. Then on prednisone 4 wks. and at
week 2-3 depending on ins hoop jumping I will have testing to see which surgery
would be the best. He is hoping anastomsis... but gave me the time line of
surgery, recovery until I will able to lift weight to do my canning... He wants
to push it as hard as he can to have the surgery as soon as he can so not to
mess up my gardens so much
Worse time line is full recovery June 6th.
The first 2-3.wks recovery I can blanch, freeze or put Qrts jars in
the canner. I just can’t lift the canner. I don’t lift the canner now so that’s
not really a difference for me.
I do need to look at what I am planting in Spring garden and how
much help I will need in it BEFORE I plant.
Blessed Be

I know that money is always an issue, but perhaps if you are hard pressed to get some planting or canning done, you could hire one of the neighborhood girls for a day here and there. I assume the Amish girls would have experience in gardening and putting up food.
ReplyDeleteAmish charge $10/hr. Not a price I can afford.Hubby will only be hauling and not working with the state by then so he should be able to work with me. It's getting things around now so I'm not staring at things that need done.
ReplyDeleteI wish you well with your surgery and recovery.
