f**k Up Fortnight

[Wood field]

Well apart from skinny Dorris who just wouldn’t eat and passed Sunday. Things have settled down. Although we’re yet to start lambing.
Today’s little adventure actually started last Thursday, mrs ( on warfarin) had a tooth out , it hasn’t stopped bleeding, so this morning she said she was off to A&E , our nearest is Halifax, she messaged me at 9 am then at 11 to say they had done bloods .
At 3 this afternoon she messaged to say she was in patient transport to Huddersfield as her red blood count was below 1/2 normal.
Phoned me at 7 pm can you come and get me .
Her car is at Halifax hospital, she was at Huddersfield hospital and we have to get her back to Huddersfield at 9 am for a unit of blood
There’s never a dull moment

Weather can be just as bad in April, it's a lottery.

But warmer...

 

[steveR]

Good grief! It's new!

Power washed in N Pennine driving rain......

Hope she has a good night, and you have a good trip in the morning Dave....

Thanks Steve, bit of a mad dash round the feeds first thing then off we go , worst thing is she isn’t allowed a hot drink for a few days , while I without thinking keep saying “ you wanna brew “ oh and she was flicking through the tv channels and I said “ look your on” the godfather ( she has her gum packed with some wadding and Lord knows what to stop it bleeding)
at least it’s peaceful

Poor soul. A dickey mouth is bloody awful.... (sorry about that pun) As for that Godfather crack, I think you might just regret that in the coming weeks....

Daughter was tearing her hair out after an implant and extras, and was told no fizzy or hot drinks for several days.... Cold tea through a straw not the same.

At least lambing has not actually started.... a slightly tarnished silver lining!

It’s the fact she’s on warfarin that beggars it up , she gets clots in her leg
Saying that there must be underlying anemia
For the cell count to be so low
My other helpful comment along the line of “ wahay it’s Guinness and steak night “ didn’t help

Be careful that her right knee does not meet any delicate areas of your anatomy.....

For what it's worth, I'd suggest you stick with the sheep job ......

......... I can't see a career switch to the diplomatic corps being an option

Best wishes for the 'hospital run' tomorrow

Come now a little credit please … I had to make my own tea ffs
Seriously, it makes you think , something as daft as a dentist visit can cause ( or highlight) this

But warmer...

Lighter yes, warmer not necessarily

It’s been a mild winter the soil is warm , grass is growing it just has to dry up. Our daffodils are 3/4 weeks ahead of normal.

It's not raining, the sun is out, turned some more ewes and lambs out this morning. Hard work walking across the mud field to get the sheep to a dryish hillside field.

I’ve not long got back from the hospital, dropped a few bales around and walked the dogs, waiting on the “come pick me up “ phone call
Our ground is saturated but they have given dry until Saturday here

Got this yesterday, hopefully should make things easier, washing hands, bottles hot water bottles etc.

Nothing worse than washing hands in cold water, especially after lambing a ewe
