Please keep an eye on that bruise. Sometimes those things create serious problems. Yours sounds bad.
What a wretched weather day to have to move! I’m glad that part of it is over until May!
One of my containers that I had planted potatoes in look like it was ready to harvest. I planted 5, and got 15. Some of them only doubled, but several gave me 5 potatoes! Last year I had so much fun with my first try, that I gave it a whirl again this year. I have 4 more containers to harvest, but they haven’t gone limp yet. Maybe next week.
Yes, thanks — my biggest worry would be some sort of internal infection or internal bleeding or (especially!) clotting. A clot headed to my brain is not the way I want to go out - at least not yet! And definitely I don’t want to die from an internal infection either, quite just yet - I know of a couple pretty horrific instances of such taking down seemingly very healthy, strong young people.
(I tried to find a link to the article from several years back about the son-in-law of a former basketball coach @ Southern IL University’s son-in-law suddenly dying completely unexpectedly from such an infection, the story as told by the coach, but I couldn’t turn it up. Seems to have been scrubbed from the Internet...)
So far, though, so good. (See post above - I seem to be doing ok.)
I do realize recovery will not be so quick as in my younger, more frequently “rough and tumble” days. If the ol’ leg is 80% come Monday, I’ll be happy. My biggest worry is that if I “favor” it oddly, that may aggravate my (so far modest) arthritis problems. So, I need to be a bit careful in that regard too.
Thanks again!
