Surgery and Farm Update

I've been gone I know. I had surgery for a Hysterectomy on Tuesday. This has been a LONG time coming surgery with many alternatives attempted before the actual removal. Some people I am sure gasp at the idea of Hysterectomy at the age of 30. But I have had "issues" with the girl parts since "FOREVER". The thought of this 2 week, 1 time recovery, pain process is thrilling, compared to the once monthly week of incapacitation. For me the pain one week per month was worth this horrifying surgery. I don't come out of anesthetic well. Think roller-coaster dizziness/nausea. For having the abdomen cut into, looking forward to that outcome was not fun for me. But for the most part I am over the hump so to speak. It's been 5 days now and I have actually made it upstairs to the land of the living.

All my animals were sure I'd abandoned them. The cat and dog have since learned of my recovery, the chickens however are unsure that it's me. Since I can only wave and call to them from the basement door. Not allowed to go outside do to the dizziness factor. We have united the baby hens with Curious the one BO hen we have left. Our cover crops are coming up well and the potatoes seem to be doing better now that we've figured out the water system. The grapes have taken off now that they have something to climb. Raspberries are also taking off due to the figured out water system. All is well on this urban farm thanks to Mr. Sustainability who has been a champion this last week. I owe all my recovery and overall running of this operation to him. Thanks baby!

I'll try to get some posts out of the things I did before surgery, like raspberry jam..... but that will be later for now I need to lay back down.
