Here's the dealeo

Howdy folks:

Well, Jim has 3 more days of meds after today, and then he is done. He will then wait 3 or 4 days and go to the hospital to have cultures done. Those cultures will tell us whether the meds worked with the heart infection or not.

The rest of the story...now, I'm not sure about all this, but here's the best info I have as of yet. If the cultures come back negative, that's good of course, but I think they will do that scope test again to see if the vegetation has disappeared or shrunk. That's all I know. I have no idea what they will do if the infection is still present or if the infection is gone, but the vegetation is still there, etc. I know open heart surgery has been mentioned with a valve replacement, but really, I don't have any info on that, so I won't speculate on that. I just share what the docs had said early on. So it looks like we have a few more weeks until we know something concrete.

Jim said that if he had to take these meds any longer, he feels like he would just die. He is looking a bit yellow under the gills. Poor guy. Sorry, I haven't posted. We've just been trudging along, so.

Okay, keep praying.

Spring is the ideal time to clean up vegetation. A bit of raking, trimming and pruning. Spring and Easter are the signs of new life !

The possibility of a new irrigation system sounds drastic to me.

Are you consulting everday gardeners or a horticultural specialist? The garden needs to be free of impurities. Check on the likely benefit of a dose of fertiliser.

I have a feeling the roses will bloom very soon.
