"But don't think you'll run me over - It's, ah, planting season here in Texas... and the farm is growing..." -Otis11 on crunching WCG
There telling her she has to stay there like 4 weeks, my dad said BS, when she is well enough shes going home. They wanted to argue, I told him just shut up and when shes doing good and walking on one of here walks just walk right on out and get in the car with dad.
They want they money...
While there might be some actual concern from the doctors about keeping her so long, unfortunately money has become an issue as well these days...Originally Posted by road-runner

Here in Portugal we have other concerns: the public system (which is VERY good, btw, though with usually outdated machinery) is over-taxed, so doctors just want to get patients out of the door ASAP.
Also, and related to cancer patients, more and more of them have been said "sorry, your funding limit expired, so I'm afraid you'll need to revert to the public system", which sometimes takes MONTHS just to schedule the FIRST consult (yeah, you all are seeing what this causes, right?)
Good luck.

Sorry I havent been around guys, been gardening everyday outside trying to grow some veggies, watermelons and such. Mom went for CT scan Monday everything is still clear, she still on O2 24/7 but shes getting a little stronger and better each day, its a slow process though...
Glad to hear she's doing ok..

Good to hear man.
That's what we like to hear! Going strong and kickin some cancer ASCII!
Now the part that really intrigues me - How'd you get watermelons to grow in that clay? I tried before, got cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, peas... yada yada... but never could get any good watermelon.
Thumbs up for your mom, road-runner. Hope the scans stay clean.
Keep your chin up!

Well where I am its not all clay, some good top soil where the trees where. I also got lucky and a friend of mine gave me a bunch of sandy loam, I had to carry a tractor over there to load with and hauled dirt for several days with a 7 yd dump trailer. I also went to madisonville and got about 10 or 12 loads of the mushroom farm compost and tilling it in.

I have gotten several watermelons and cantaloupes to grow in the sandy loam though by just adding a little miracle grow plant food. I started in April with a backhoe and made a small garden, now I have a 6' 3 point hitch rototiller, a disc bedder or hiller, got a seeder that will be here Friday. I have about an acre of gardens. I will make a thread in the WCG section with some pictures before I derail this thread...
All this talk of gardening makes me nostalgic. Before arthritis got to my knees and hips I had a lovely herb and veggie garden. Now my cucumbers have wax on them, and tomatoes have no taste. Surprises me to find "crunchers" into gardening!

I hear we have some Xtreme gardeners out in Northern California too
An update, mom got the CT scan results today from the scan yesterday. Still cancer free at this point. We were scared it might have moved to the brain because she was having some headaches...
That's great news!!!
Glad to hear!
Yes she is but its slow, very slow little bit each day but she is getting better...
that is good news, is she is picking up some strength?
we hope for the best
