09-23-2019

  Well, I went on the hill to feed 2 rolls of hay and counted the cows and we are missing 4 cows or calves. I haven't been up there enough to point out which they were which I'm ashamed to say. I found 2 places in the fence that was down, repaired one until I can get back up there and fix properly, the other I can't., As I rode along most of the fence I bush hogged the field.

   A massive pine tree looks to have been struck by lightning about 10 foot up and came down and crushed the fence. I parked the Tractor at the top of the hill, it would not clear the trees to drive down it and walked down to take a closer look. I went down the hill ok, looked at what needs to be done, then walked back up. I was a tad winded but not bad. I had left the door open on the Tractor which let the cold air out. I got in the Tractor and became winded, my heart started racing as my body wanted more oxygen and my lungs just couldn't do it. I started driving and the Tractor rides rough, really bad rough and it kept getting worse. When it gets like this it feels like a heart attack, smothering and extreme pain in the chest.

   I called Denise and asked her to bring my Oxygen and she flew up the hill from the house which caught William's eye. He called me twice but I didn't answer, didn't have the breath to talk, I done well to call Denise. She got there fast but I was already getting better as the cold a/c blew in my face. Moral of the story, take my O2 with me, even on the Tractor. I came back home and laid down, it left me drainer and with a massive headache. This morning I am still healing from yesterday.
