Just received notification from a friend. His daughter, 37, lost her battle with lung cancer this morning. She wasn't a smoker. Cancer sucks.
FUUUUUUGGGGGG!!!
I knew my new farm had a bit of the "public private" funk to it, but I was hoping I could out work the other hunters. Hard to do that when the neighbors have stands all along the property lines! I had a guy come and set up on me this morning well after shooting light. It's 9AM and I'm out of the woods. That's fuggin dump worthy!!!
Moving to my tried and true property to sit through lunch, maybe the rest of the day...
Well, been off work (vacation) since last thursday (I know not a dump right?) but with all the rain and wind and nasty weather coming through its been a rough go at it.... Then last night while on stand I get a text from my SIL that my Brother is back in the hopital with either blood clot in the lung or pneumonia.... He had his gallbladder out a week and a half ago which he'd been having problems with for over a year.... He had cancer and had gone through radiation and Chemo and they thought that the radiation had burned his stomach and since the gallbladder appeared too be working they wouldn't remove it.... Fast forward it was making him double over in pain and they finally removed it and it was basically dead and infected..... IV antibiotics for a couple of days send him home he's weak and having a hard time breathing.... Well he ended up with a partial collapsed lung and no blood clots (which was better news in the long run) so overnight in the hospital and back home now.....
Hopefully this will be it for the remainder of the year for him..... Been a long year and a half for him.....
Now I need to get back out in the stand when it doesn't rain or wind blowing @ 25 mph...... My dryer has been working overtime the last week.....
