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.
