Good news is that I do not have the flu. Bad news is that I do have pnuemonia in my right lung :(
Doc gave me a shot or Rocephin and hopefully my fever will break by tomorrow. If not, I have to go back.

There is my news for the day. I hope that everyone has a good one and I will see you when I am able :)

Not to worry, every time I do to much my back lets me know. So I am relegated to the simple life of a retired TT.

Hey, Gummy Bear, this TT Retirement isn't everything its cracked up to be!

Free sent me a chicken to cook for dinner via UPS and they threw it over the gate and the poor chicken was nearly traumatized. The problem with this chicken #1 - is I don't have a gate and #2 was that it was still alive so I did the necessary and scalped it right above the shoulder blades and it did the requisite flopping around as chickens are prone to do.

I knew it would be several minutes before I could start plucking feathers and with all this taking place out in the front yard I decided this was a perfect time to take a nap on my plaid couch while I waited. So I did.

Now when chickens find themselves in this unfortunate position you expect them to expire in short order. Right? Right.

Well, after a few minutes I awoke to find a headless chicken with her winds outspread, resting on my belly ... rising and falling with each breath of mine. I thought to myself, this must be a dream or something. Chickens without heads cannot find their way onto my belly and just lay there resting. I laid there looking at this apparition in disbelief when suddenly it let out this indescribable noise that I've never heard emitted by a chicken before in my life. I thought to myself, boy, these Illinois chickens sure do talk funny!

All of a sudden it occurred to me that I was numb with fear and that "fight or flight" instinct kicked in which we have discussed before at some length. so you already know my choice is ... and always will be ... flight. So I left the scene at a high rate of speed ... well, fast for me anyhow. Limping on one leg and hobbling on the other as quickly as possible. I turned and looked behind me to see if I was escaping from this headless horseman chicken and here it came right behind me.

So I ran and jumped on my 4wheeler and took off as fast as I could to get away from this thing and when I figured I had gone far enough I stopped and chuckled to myself ... but wait. I was still hearing chuckling even after I had stopped chuckling! I turned and there was that chicken! She was on the rear rack on the 4wheeler and she was chuckling!! Not clucking ... chuckling!

I think that's when I fainted.

My gosh salem!! I'm so sorry to hear this.

Well, I know I don't have to tell you to do exactly what the doctor told you to do. You've lectured me (in a nice way) many times about the same subject.

If I can do anything from East Texas you know all you have to do is shout!

And hurry up and get better!

Dang TT that sounds bad. Them chicken will do that ya know. It could have been worse. it could have been one of them 3 legged chickens in which case it would have gotten to your front porch before you did.

Or ... one of those long legged racing chickens!

Now those suckers are some kind of fast!

I know that he is right and I have cut way down. Mostly sleeping anyway.

    LOL, Pokey! I told him to go and get me a pack of cigs if he does not want me to vape :) He said well you will do neither in ICU. I said oh, but watch me if I am conscious HA!

    He knows I would too. I smoked in my hospital bathroom after having my gallbladder removed. My doc was so mad that he said he would start calling me from the lobby if I did it again lol

    Thanks, I feel sure that I will. I am justglad to know that it was nothing in the vape giving me the shortness of breath. I would have hated to have to give vaping up.

    I know! Not only giving up the nicotine, but also the hobby of vaping. And hanging out with all the fellow vapers here :)
