Well summer time has arrive here on the Suncoast with temps in the upper 80 but the once little humidity has arrived as well and you sweat doing anything outside. The ground is parched as well and thankfully I'm able to water the gardens with the new pump. I'm still having to redo the PVC lines coming in from the ground outside but I'm able at this point to prime the pump and hand water. I purchased more PVC stuff needed to redo the lines from Home Depot. Hopefully I can get them together better this second time with no leaks, oh well.
I did move my onions in the garden first thing in the morning away from the now huge tomato plants as they are spreading and would soon cover them. I was soaked with sweat from just that little bit of activity in the garden. The leafy greens are still producing but wilt in the afternoon sun until I can water them again before sunset. The heat will soon take over and about the only plants that will live are the tomato's and egg plants which still haven't produced any fruit, the jalapeno pepper plant and some herbs. I'll soon put the garden into fallow ground mode as I want to cover it will oak leaves so the worms will have some food over the summer.
I got a call from the VA about them helping me with the cost of Eliquis and they recommend a different blood thinner so I'm not sure they will help me. They haven't decided one way or the other yet but from what the rep hinted I don't think so. Oh well, I can still get it from the Canadian store at about 80 bucks a month compared to nearly 600 bucks a month from Walgreens. That was about it for the day except I did watch the Lightning getting beat in Canada before cutting the lights out. I almost forgot I did get a call from the heart doctor and everything is back to normal so no more followups except when we get back from the cabin in November. I still have more chest x rays before we leave and a follow up with the lung doctors. I'm feeling stronger daily and hopefully next week start back on the pickle ball court a couple times a week and for only an hour or so to start with. I'm so thankful to be alive and it was the power of prayer of so many and the grace of GOD I'm still here, LATER
