My health is doing well. Lord willing, I am three weeks away from being completely off of all medications! I go in for blood testing once a month for right now. They continue to monitor my platelet levels and will change things as they see necessary when the time comes. My doctor still holds a little bit of hope that the treatments that I have had in the past might have cured my body from what I was dealing with. It would be such a blessing from God if that was the case! :) I am still holding sustainable energy levels which has been really nice.
Work continues to go well. Though it is the same thing day after day, I am thankful for a job. I work with a good group of people, for that I am grateful. Somedays it is tough to stay positive because of the monotonous work, but it's a job.
Things continue to move along here on the farm. The cold has come and always brings a little more 'fun'. Finally brought the bull back to its owner last week. That should have been done in November, but oh well. On the way back home, we lost a wheel off of the cattle trailer...ooops. Luckily there wasn't too much traffic and I was close to a spot where I could safely park the trailer until I can get it fixed. Just another thing to fix, ugh. Since there was a shortage of hay last summer, we have been feeding a lot of silage. Luckily we are close to a packing plant that harvests sweet corn, so we can get silage for a reasonable price. There are plenty of things to be working on outside, but with the sub-zero temps lately, things will have to wait.
Having the brothers home this weekend has been great! It was good that we didn't plan family Christmas for Christmas day because of the weather. Though we didn't do a whole lot, it's been nice just to hangout as a family.
Blessings
