Pamela, Wildflowers and WTH

 Have you ever looked up 

what you name means.

Apparently, Pamela means

more that I thought!!

Kidding...

It actually means ~

Pamela is primarily used in the English, German,

 and Italian languages, and its language of

 origin is Old Greek. The name is of the

 meaning all black, all sweetness. 

HAHA....My daughter does not

agree with this!

She is a BRAT!

Yesterday I shared with you

the Woodland Sunflowers that

grow wild at my tree line.

Here are a few things that I have

found just randomly growing in 

my yard.

I had this pop up on the edge

of my gravel driveway.

So, I pulled out my phone, 

pulled up my Picture This

appt and had to check to see what

this was.

Dog Fennel.

Says it is a herb but its

toxic when eaten...

Hmm?

Dog Fennel  

 is a common weed in pastures, abandoned

 fields, roadsides, and 

waste areas.

But then I read, that it

 works great

in your garden along 

a whimsical pathway.

Should I use it in my 

garden?

Next there is Braken Fern that 

came up. Also, weed and you don't
eat.

Bracken is one of the oldest ferns,

 with fossil records over 55 million years old

 having been found.

It can also be used in gardening.

Course I love purple so when I look

out and see purple growing

randomly in the yard, I love it.

This one is a cute little flower.

It is a perennial and also 

does well in gardens. 

I think I am liking this

bit of using wildflowers in 

my garden.

Another purple flower and 

yes, I see it in my garden next yr.

These are just some wild that grows 

in my yard and I think shall 

get moved to a garden.

I need to start preparing the yard

for some planting.

There is a local walking area

not ten mins from the house,

and there is a section where some

ladies grow wildflowers.

I met them there one day, cleaning

up the bed. But with that said, 

when the blooms started dying 

off, I went up and plucked 

dry blooms for a wildflower

bed. 

I am excited about this bed,

cause I am actually

going to use a metal bed,

and the flowers will grow

inside the frame.

I am sure you folks are

prob tired of hearing my

health issues with the 

UTIs/Stones and surgery...

but I am throwing it out again.

I do not do this for pity,

I do it to let folks no that

crap that can happen, what

you or someone you know can

face....

I think I might have told 

you that on the CT Scan and

the ultrasound, there were to pieces

of stone that I was waiting to make

their way out. That is one thing

that happens with patient portals, 

I ASSUMED that it was pieces from

being blasted....OOPS, 

I need to stop assuming.

Image my surprise when at the 

docs office on Wed., I learned that 

these are actual stones that

due to the shape my kidney is 

in, the doc could not get to.

I don't blame her, I had no clue

that the kidney was such a mess.

The good thing is, they are

not blocking anything, but

now I am ticked that I still

have stones. WTH!!

I do have a test next week

to be sure the kidney itself

is working correctly, esp 

in the shape it is in. 

The surgeon told Amber it looked

like it had been cut apart and pieced

back together. In conversation with 

the surgeon, she told my urologist 

that it was twisted, and the inside

of one side of the kidney is laying 

on the other side.

Hence the reason she could not

locate the other two.

Plus, they are already to big 

to pass, cause with the twisting, 

my tube is narrowed.

I am not comfortable with leaving 

them and watching them, or 

waiting till they move and block

something, but I do not want

to go through this again...

With all that said, I requested my

records from last yrs doc.

Details very vague, no mention of 

the kidney being in bad shape. 

That leads to more questions.

I really think my next step

is to talk to a lawyer and see

if I have a case. 

Thanks for listening to my 

fears and bitching,

Pam
