Edd and I had a virus this week but we managed to keep going. We had two years without any sickness when we were isolated, so I suppose we have some catching up to do.
Bo, on the other hand has had a dreadful week. Morg, her eldest has a friend Jerry, who has often been just another family member. He has recently been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and is being treated. On Friday he drove home after having dinner with Bo and family and next day his step mother found him unresponsive and close to death. He was rushed to hospital intensive care where he was told he was the closest to death person who had ever survived there!
Bo and family feel awful because they all knew he was not himself and did not take any action. We are all so lucky he has survived and hopefully he can get better care from now on. He is in his twenties and is living and working with his father. The question we are all pondering is how do you know when someone is no longer capable of looking after their own needs and at what point do you take over?
Al is also having a bad week. All his kids are sick and Pia is booked to fly out to Canada tomorrow for two weeks. It does seem as if we have an awful lot of bugs going around at present. Tilba’s family have also been sick. (They claimed ownership of the sock the washing machine seized. We have suggested that even though it is a large commercial style machine there are limits to how much it can cope with, without taking revenge.)
Both of the goats, Joy and Frani, who were in with the old buck look to be pregnant which is a relief. We were worried he was no longer fertile after getting no pregnancies last year. The young buck who was impossible to contain has simmered down a bit and stayed in the yards. We have not put any does with him yet.
