It has not been a happy Friday, but I'm glad it is Friday. I have been the victim of a gallbladder attack (or at least, that's what the symptoms point to). I made at trip to the doctor and spent the rest of the day immobilized by some pretty nasty pain...and this from a woman who had two kids with no pain medication! So, not much today, but hopefully I'll be back soon.
As I've already confessed, I am a plant murderer . I have, however, had marginal success with container gardening. The past year or two I started seedlings with my dad, which means the kids and I dropped a few seeds in pots and my dad cared for them. Once they were established outside, I was able to keep them alive long enough to harvest a few peppers and tomatoes and have a pretty pot of flowers on my doorstep. (At least until a horrid heat-wave and drought came along and killed them all; it's hard to keep containers well-watered when it's that hot!) In spite of the 10+ inches of snow on the ground right now, it's time to think about starting seeds again and I figure if I'm ever going to develop a green thumb, I better start educating myself! That is why I jumped at the opportunity to read Gary Emmett's book Seed Starting: The First Step to Gardening . (affiliate link) Available for your Kindle or Kindle app from Amazon.

Sorry you're not feeling well. I know exactly what you're going through. I had my gallbladder removed when my youngest child was six weeks old. I had attacks while I was big and pregnant but had to wait until after the baby was born for surgery. Those attacks are one of the most miserable things I have ever gone through. So sorry. I hope they abate soon. You'l be in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteTonia, thank you so much for your prayers and well-wishes! This is by far the worst attack I've had and I'm quite ready to face surgery if they can promise the pain will stop.
