Teresa & Mike CHS - Our journal

[Mike CHS]

We got the sheep worked and separated so we can hit the sale on Monday. We culled heavy again but still wound up keeping 10 of the lambs but we only wound up with upping our total number by 6.

Teresa got stung by a wasp just as we were starting which makes twice this week. This one was a black wasp and she didn't get much of a reaction to that one. It was a red wasp that got her last Sunday and she had enough of a reaction to warrant an ER visit.

We were going to take one of our oldest ewe to the sale tomorrow as she has had a really hard time getting back in condition after lambing during the last two cycles. She has been such a good mannered and loving mom and we won't breed her again but we changed our mind about the sale. She can stay here as our first "retired" sheep.

That's called appreciation & love some deserve it.

It's called HUMAN.... and there are always a couple that deserve to live out their life... Good for you... she can be the babysitter of all the weaned ewe lambs or something like that...

She’s been a good mom, raised lambs for y’all, and she has stolen your hearts. Yep, retirement, she has earned it.

We went in for a follow-up with the cardiologist to get the results from scans I had done awhile back and he told me that I had a heart attack at some point but everything looks good other than that. He talked me into taking a shot that you do twice a month to yourself that somehow helps with high cholesterol. I took several different statins for several years but they were well on the way to shutting down some key organs so that isn't an option.

Statin drug made BJ lose his memory. He couldn’t remember what happened 30 minutes ago, yesterday, last week, or 40 years ago. It was scary. Doctor took him off of it. He HAD a triple bypass, wasn’t that good enough?? LOL

My husband takes a drug called Repatha. It's an injection he takes every two weeks. It has done great things for his cholesterol and no nasty statin side effects.

Thank you, Repatha is the one I'm getting. I wasn't sure of the results since everything I found to read about it so far showed it getting good results when used with a statin.
