Default No more gardening for me

Get you a copy of "Square Foot Gardening" by Mel Bartholamew(sic). People in
wheelchairs use this form of gardening. It's great.

Well, health reasons have now made it insane for me to ever stick
another piece my body into the dirt or get any of it anywhere on my
body.

I was hospitalized for the third time the day after gardening, weeding
actually. I am very sick, have very low white blood count and red is
also very low for which I shoot Procrit. I had a shot of Nupigen to
increase my bone marrow production of white blood cells.

Now, when I go anywhere I have to bring alcohol cloths and wipe the
shopping cart off, and apply hand sanitizer after being in public
places. Flying may also be risky.

I have stage four cirrhosis, children's class A. The Interferon seems
to be working, but I have trouble doing everything. It's rough
treatment.

I suppose the point is, I actually paid people to come in and weed for
me. I'm fortunate to have the money, but it was never about that
anyway. I feel sad, but I do believe gardening days are over for me.
