Pastor Dave's Highlights

[Pastor Dave]

Surgeon says he likes the looks of the incision and explained the hardness underneath would most likely go away. I have some midline deviation of the abdominal muscles, but he credits it to wearing down over time and shouldn't be much of an issue. He says weight loss and exercise will strengthen it all. The mesh is 6.5cm and directly underneath the incision. He told me I can resume activities prior to surgery and begin to lift again unless it causes irritation or pain. I asked, if that meant I could lift feed sacks again, and he said yes. He said there's no reason to schedule a follow-up, but that his office is always available if I feel I need to be seen. I would say this was pretty much what I expected and hoped for.

Glad it's all worked out so well for you!

Anyone familiar with and or tried "chicken of the woods mushrooms"? It is supposed to be a dead ringer when cooked to taste like chicken. I guess it can also be dried and ground to make gravy or soup. You can buy a "log starter" and grow your own. I am pretty intrigued.

Shared a couple of these on Bruce's page, but figured I can find them easier down the road if I put some here.

I've heard of it but never tried it. Are you going to buy the log and grow your own?

I think a starter log would be a better idea than trying to find your chicken of the woods out IN the woods!

I don't know Bruce... I've heard/understand that some folks have taken some pretty awesome "trips" (without even leaving the farm) by collecting and eating wild mushrooms... Seems I recall Dave saying he wasn't sure he'd be able to "get away" as easily coming up this spring when he adds some laying hens to his "farmette"/parsonage... Could be a "win/win" situation here!
