I was telling the Truth

It is not easy for me to give up, give in or give out. I am a "Get er done" person. "Just do it"
"No slacking off". "A job worth doing is worth doing RIGHT"
So many phrases one that still ticks me off is, "Whatever it takes". I have that on a paperweight from Montgomery Ward. Well what ever it took, was my health.
It was not worth it. I recall one district manager telling me "I am not going to die at my desk. There is too much life to live and my life does not revolve around Montgomery Ward."
I worked many eighteen hour days, just go get the job done. I opened and closed the store on numerous occasions. I was a patsy for any thing that needed to be completed. I felt no one could do it if I was not there supervising and pushing and shoving on the merchandise myself.

So on to the truth. I said in a previous post it was difficult for me to stop. Well today I was out again, raking dirt and dead grass and piling rock. I wondered at how I was fine, no pain at all.
I will send photos but at teh west sides of our pool, we have, (had) no landscaping. We both tried to figure out the best approach.
When Alan was here yesterday, Mowing the field, I asked him to bring up shovels of dirt and sand and build a mound. He did, I believe it was at least ten buckets of loam, sand rock and weeds. Now we have to get some form to it, as in sweeping around, and add plants. I may have a few holes dug to hold trees, That will come later.
On top of the mound, I am planting Red Cannas, My Red Cannas are big, at least 5 foot tall and right now they are perfect for replanting. (They produce better than rabbits.)
I started my cannas with maybe ten feet planted I now have at least 300 feet of them, no kidding I have them surrounding my drive, and the center bed of the circle drive is full of cannas. Not complaining at all. All I hve to do is water and in the winter I mow them down.

I also have a few lavender to put on the hill plus I am moving my herb garden to it. Great loacation for an herb garden. I will surround with Marigolds or petunias or somthing that is low growing and easy up-keep. Plus we will put bark and landscape fabric out. Make keeping it up a snap.

So now I am stopped, had to almost crawl to the shower again, My sciatica is so bad right now, but I am forbid to take anti inflammatories. At least for a few more days. I had the biopsy, yesterday. Believe me, I felt nothing, I must be made of steel, I barely felt the needle go in my neck. The doctor told me It usually hurts pretty bad but I never even flinched. I told him I had lived with pain so long this was just another tiny pin prick to me.
Theytook four samples, He said in about 1 out of 200 they have to redo the biopsy, and that is why he takes four samples from several areas of the thyroid. I know this is a common procedure. personally he said he does about 3 a day. That is a lot of biopsys on thyroids and over 90 % are nothing. Which I belive mine is Nothing, My family has the corner on Heart disease, we do not have other problems.
Am I concerned? Not really, it is just another obstacle that I have to hurdle and I do quite good at running and jumping and missing the obstacles.
So have a good day as I get my back into shape again.
