A little update on a few things

You might remember I was seeking advice about 6 weeks ago about what to do because one of my sisters,(nurse) who caused me a lot of grief during Covid and then blocked me for over a year, - her boyfriend was diagnosed with fast growing, stage 4 Pancreatic cancer that had metastasized to… everything! Essentially he has turbo cancer. My other sister asked me to support nurse-sister and I was trying to figure out what to do. I got mixed advice but in the end, I sent a few supportive texts. In one I mentioned that there are people (I said no names) who have been successfully treated for stage 4 pancreatic cancer. I was trying to give her a bit of hope. She sent me a nasty gram back saying that she would never trust anyone I would trust and that they were going with someone “professional”. She said she has the absolute best pancreatic dr. So they put Bob thru chemo and Thursday he is scheduled for MAID. I have mixed feelings about MAID. I think it fits in these situations- especially if you’re closed minded and you’ve given up hope. But to me, it’s a slippery slope. In this case, with nurse sister being so closed minded, I think it’s probably best for him. I feel bad for the guy and ultimately, I am happy I tried to be supportive. I can live with myself. And it confirms my path forward.

Re: electroculture rods. A week after we put them in (we put 6 out), we had a wicked hailstorms with toonie sized hail. It delayed my garden. Where the rods were, in almost every case, the plants close by are roughly twice the size. We are still reserving judgement until the harvest in case it is just a fluke. But my husband, who is a skilled skeptician, already commented that it looks pretty promising.

Take care, my tribe.
