Blackouts And Curveballs

Happy Mio Monday everyone. I hope it’s a good one.

Good goat times today. Although I’m not sure the goats agree. First off it was cold and rainy. Very rainy. We were rained in all day. But much worse, the goats needed medication. Jeanette contacted me yesterday and sked if I could help with that today. They needed deworming. So I guess the test result from the vet shpwed they had worms. or something. So I helpd with that. Grabbed the goats by the horns, while Jeanette squirted the medicine into their mouths. They weren’t too happy about that, but hopefully it’s good for them.
I was a little concerned about Mia in the morning. She was sitting in the doorway to their room and she didn’t come up. She seemed to be shaking a little too. She got up later, had an appetite and laid berries that seemed good. Hopefully it was just the cold and rain that was making her a little less energetic than normal. She is an old goat now. And on a rainy day like this there’s not much to do other than just sit around. But I guess the worms may make it harder for her to turn food into body heat. Hopefully everything will be okay. And hopefully the weather will get better soon.

Just polished off the last of the soup. It’s been a good four days of soup. It’s always a little sad when you finish it. And especially now when it’s probably the last soup of the season. It’s getting warmer and mama don’t make soup when it’s warm. Just about the only good thing about cold weather is getting to have soup.
Anyway, I better start putting up decorations for tomorrow’s big party. I hope you all got the invitations back in January, don’t forget the commute to Denmark can be crowded so you might want to head out now and beat the traffic.

I think.. I blacked out. Maybe. I don’t remember.. what I was doing.. what day is it? I can see by my last update.. that I just finished the soup. My dad was just here. I feel.. I don’t know. I wonder if this was one of those brain fog blackouts that I’ve had. Or if I just.. fell asleep. In my chair. Oh tomorrow is my birtdhay. I saw the goats.. yesterday. I have to put the pieces back together again. Figure out where I am, what I was doing, what I was planning.
The last fb update I made was about polishing off the soup. I guess.. I fell asleep in my chair after that. I saw the goats yesterday, went to bed.. slept a lot of the day today. Got up and ate the last of the soup. I called dad and asked if he’d buy some stuff for me. He was over here. I got the cake. I guess I fell asleep in my chair.
Oh well. I’m not sure if I blacked out again. It’s been months since that happened.. or if I just fell asleep and am a little groggy. Hmm.
14/3 2023

Well, I just called and talked to my dad. I have zero memory of him being here. I can see he left me the cake, took the soup cannisters. I don’t remember him being here.
He said that he did notice there was something weird about me. It took me 2-3 times to come answer the door. And I seemed.. distant, I think he said. Like I wasn’t quite registering that he was there, I think he said I didn’t know what day it was and that he had a hard time getting through to me. Now, I wasn’t doing so bad that he thought I needed assistance I guess. I was just off and distant. But yeah, that tracks then. I am still not sure if that was.. in the middle of a blackout. I think maybe.. he woke me up from, well a blackout or nap or both. Or whatever. I think when he was here I was just waking up and starting to get back to myself. But what a weird thought. I have no memory of him being here. I wonder how out of it I was.
I should probably see the doctor about all this, I wil lthink about it. At least I didn’t fall and hurt myself. It’s been 2-3 months since the last time it happened, so it’s not like it’s something that’s happening all the time. Maybe the 3rd or 4th time, over the span of more than 6 months.
I don’t know. It’s a weird thought.

Measured my blood sugar, and it’s too high, but not so much that it should cause like a diabetic shock or anything. Makes sense after a huge portion of soup and some ‘flødeboller’ for dessert, which I should have but I did. I do wonder about epilepsy or some other kind of seizure. One thing I wonder about is when I had my accident and fell, my whole body was hurt. My legs felt like they do when I have walked for hours and haven’t stretched afterwards, my arm and shoulder was so bad that I could barely lift it for weeks and of course I’m still dealing with the back issues. But especially the bit about my legs kinda puzzle me, because that’s not really en injure that would happen from like an impact of falling. I wonder if I had some kind of seizure that made my muscles spasm or something.
I don’t know. Thank you all for the concern. I know I should go to the doctor, and I will seriously consider it. I just .. don’t like facing things. It’s much easier to pretend everything is fine.
It’s still kind of spooky to me that my dad was here and I don’t remember it at all. I remember before. And after. But no memory of the part where he was here. I wish I could have seen myself, I wonder how out of it I were.
Anyway, what a great way to celebrate my early birthday, totes.

This sounds dead on like my episodes. I guess I should hope so, because it says it’s not serious. But who knows. It does sound a lot like my experience.

Thank you everyone so much for the birthday wishes! I am amazed and delighted to know so many good and dear friends, and I am happy I have been able to share positive (mostly) things with you all through the year(s). Thank you so much. I hope I managed to reply to everyone, you never know with the facebox algorythm. Sooner or later the algorythm is gonna get ya. But thank you all again and again. Whatever happens, I am thankful for you all.

Good goat times today. They seemed to be doing very well. All 3 of them came bleating down to the fence to great me. I think that’s the first time this year it has happened. A sign that the weather is getting better, and hopefully that tehy are healthy. No official health news, but they seem good. They got their medicine. I was a little concernced about that, because the deworming meds had to be given for 3 days, and last day was yesterday when Jeanette wasn’t working. And I know some of the other caretakers aren’t as comfortable with the goats. But I guess it’s gone ok. Mia seemed well. Happy to see me, eager for treats. Last time I was there she didn’t get up when I arrived and sat down several times. Maybe it was just because of the rain. But today she was up and about. Climbed the goat mountain on her own. I think she likes the view from up there.
I got them all to start running around. Especially Milo and Sky of course, little sprinters. But Mia too. And she was headbutting the littles. They seemed lively.
We had visitors in the pen too. Little kids, in pairs of two, getting to see the goats up close. A couple laughing a lot at the butts and their ‘kaka’. Fun times for all. And the goats figured out how to use the brushes that JEanette put up outside… but only with their heads. Rubbing their heads and horns on them. Hopefully they will figure out to scratch their whole bodies on them soon too. Rub that winter coat out.

Visitors with the goats. So sweet. The little girl in the.. is it pink? suit was funny. She’d very slowly reach out and touch Mia’s back.. and then quickly withdraw her hand and squeal like she just did something very brave! Haha.

Jeanette told me that she got some scary news on Tuesday. She got the news that the government is shutting down 5 of the local educational playgrounds. And she didn’t know which 5. Thankfully, a day later she got the news that ours isn’t one of them. So that’s a relief. But. One of the 5 is.. our old playground. The one that picked the horses over the goats and we had to leave last summer. So that’s.. something. I guess in hindsight it was actually not so bad that we had to leave. Who knows what would have happened if the goats had still lived there today? They could have been sent off to slaughter, sent off to who knows where, split who knows how. Without Jeanette we wouldn’t have had the contacts that took SNL. Who knows if our current playground would have taken MMS under the current circumstances, with Malene gone and budgets getting tighter. It could have been a disaster.
It’s sad about the old playground though. Wonder what will happen to the horses. And Ophelia. Oh well. It’s a money issue of course. Gotta save money. Too bad. I think these kinds of playgrounds are great for kids. Sometimes when people assume my goat posts are from a farm or something similar they get quite surprised when I tell them that it’s a government-run playground with animals and after school activities. They are such nice places. Kindergartens and daycares visit in the early hours. And older kids come after school and get homework help and get to be around animals and learn to take care of them. The playgrounds have been very good to me too of course, starting at the old old playground all the way back in 2004, to the old playground and now the new one. Don’t know where my life would have gone without those playgrounds. I sure hope nothing will happen to our current place, even though budget restraints are always felt. I didn’t mention it on here, but a week or two ago we almost ran out of hay. There was supply left for the rest of the week, but the place they buy hay was all out of stock. With nothing new until August! Jeanette had to go to a supervisor and ask permission to buy hay from a private farmer instead of their official supply place. Luckily she found a place to buy from and we’re stocked until, I think also August now. But there could be problems getting it in the future. And you know, they never got around to fixing the fences to stop Mia jumping out when I leave. I still have to lock them up every time I leave, and then Jeanette let’s them out after I’m gone. The two wooden platforms are still too steep to climb, fixing them in on the schedule but if or when I don’t know. I haven’t seen the handyman guy since I don’t know when, September or November or whatever. I am happy we have this place and met Jeanette, but everything isn’t all perfect. But at least we’re staying open for now…
Sad to think of the old place closed. Lots of memories of Yogi and grandma there. Sassy, Lily and Nuller. I asked Jeanette about them today, she doesn’t see them often but they are doing okay. I don’t think their lives are as fun as the lives of playground goats, but they are loved and taken care of and better off than meat or dairy goats. I have had so mucuh on my mind since my accident, I manage not to think about them so much, I manage not to think about a lot most of the time.. but then when you let the thoughts in… man, I miss having a flock of 6 goats and all those personalities and love. The split all started with new regulations that limited how many animals the old place could have, so they couldn’t have both horses and goats. All these cutbacks. Hurts the animals and the children.
I wish humans weren’t so good at limiting themselves. I guess you can’t have society without money and shirt. But. Sometimes I wish we could reboot humanity, start fresh with the lessons we’ve learned. But we’d just find new ways of forking up things.
Anyway, I’m getting off track. Sad news, but I’m thankful it won’t directly impact us. Hooves crossed.

tldr: 5 local playgrounds being closed, ours wont’ be closed, but te old one we came from will be closed.

Saw Fringe trending on twitter and thought “ooh is it coming back?!”. Turns out it was because Lance Reddick passed away. Bummer. Only 60. He was so so so good on Fringe. I can see he’s done lots of other stuff that people have loved, but I mainly knew him from Fringe. One of my favourite shows. Great actor. Rest in peace.

Sat down and put on the season 3 opener of Ted Lasso, put on my TENS device and instead of a 15 minute session at level 2-3 I took a 30 minute session of 6-10. Out of 16. Loved both.
Man, I’m sure I have said it before but Roy Kent is the best character on TV. And he’s even more enjoyable if you know who Roy Keane is.
And the TENS felt really good. Ended up on level 10 and really feeling the buzz. Again, I’m not sure it will be that beneficial to my general back problem. But it felt like a really good massage. I may have to give it a go wearing it outside and seeing if it can help me when I’m out and about, which is when my back problem is really bad. I’m just not sure how easy it will be to be using it while I’m out with goats, the wires and stuff, I don’t know. But I’m glad I got the device at least.
And i’m glad Ted Lasso is back. Stoked for the final season. By the way, the actor who plays Roy Kent is also a big Twin Peaks fan, I saw him tweeting with Kyle Maclclclclclclahan on the twitter. Good synergy.
Hope you’re all doing well out there. Again, I want to thank you all for the birthday love. It means a lot to me to feel there are people who care about me. To be honest I am struggling these days. But it helps to not be alone. Cheers.
Night court.

I hope all my good Republican friends will cheer Blue Lives Matter with us on Tuesday when a certain someone is apparently getting arrested. Imagine anyone else but a rich old white male being able to announce on his own social media platform in advance that he is going to be arrested? Wonder if that ever happened to an African American with a joint in a car late at night. Well anyway.
I’m sorry. I am going to try my best to go back to not talking about politics, I know it’s pointless and annoying. I just needed to shart this out in the atmosphere to get some relief. Back to posting goats and self pity. Yeehaw.

Sky likes to stand in there behind the door. I remember at the old place she made it an artform to find places to sit where she had some ‘protection’ from the three. Safe spaces are important when you’re littlest! She doesn’t really need safe spaces anymore, but I think there’s just some instinctual comfort in it.

Happy Mio Monday everyone. I hope it’s a good one.

Good goat times today. Some ups and downs.
Firstly, Mia seems to be doing well. Unfortuantely I don’t have a medical backup for that. Jeanette was out sick the latter part of last week and when we talked this morning she basically didn’t know more about the situation than I did. So there’s no new info from the vet about the tests or anything.
But my feeling is that Mia is doing okay. When I was there Thursday I could tell she wasn’t herself. She didn’t come running to me, shied away from affection, didn’t want to eat every time she was offered something. And then there was the time when she was shivering and shaking.
Today, if you hadn’t told me she’d been sick, I wouldn’t have guessed. She seemed herself again. Eager for treats. Which made it ahrd for me to say no. They are still on a hay and water diet. When I didn’t hand out treats she’d several times jump up with her front legs on me, trying to get me to give her something. I have to admit, a couple of times I gave them a peanut each. I know I shouldn’t have. It’s just so darn hard saying no to them. And they all seemed to be doing fine, so hopefully it’s not problem.
But Mia was running around with us, we went up on the mountains, she was eager for treats and eating hay and out grabbing greens. Didn’t see her shivering or shaking either.
I am not completely sure if her poops were okay. I was doing my best Keiko impression, following Mia around watching for her tail to rise so I could check to see if she was pooping okay or still had diarrhea, as she apparently had last week. At one point she pooped and I think it looked solid but I wasn’t sure if it came out in clumps or proper Keiko approved berries. And yes. I got down on the ground to see if I could find the poops. Hey you gotta do what you gotta do. But I couldn’t find it. Blame the blindness I guess. I don’t have a Keiko sense.
Later I saw her tail going up and when I went over to her there were proper berries on the ground, so I hope she had deposited those.
My feling is that she’s okay. I can’t say I won’t worry, because of course you worry. But I am pretty confident it will be okay. I told Jeanette I’d appreciate if she texted me if they get some info from the vet.
Now, I consider that the ups. The downs? That was me, literally down on the ground. I fell. Again. Again i tripped over the old pile of hay in the goat pen. And this time it was pretty bad. Jeanette was going into the goat house and the goats started running to get back there and I followed and was more concerned about filming than being sensible. I forgot that when I look straight ahead I can’t see the ground ahead of me. The bottom part of my eye is blind. So, I didn’t see the pile of hay. And I fell flat. And this time it was worse than last time. For whatever reason I didn’t manage to get my hands out to stop the fall. Heck, maybe that was a good thing. Maybe I would have busted up my arm and shoulder even more if I’d fallen down on that. But, that meant I fell face first. Face straight into the ground, which was frozen solid. It was like getting hit in the head with a block of cement. I thought I might have gotten seriously hurt at first. I could feel my skull. I mean, I felt like my skull was broken or something. You’re not really supposed to be able to feel your skull. Try and see if you can right now? I don’t mean feel it with your hands. I mean, just feeling your skull .. being there. Hard to explain. But yeah, I felt like someone swung a shovel in my face or something. I lay there for a bit and then got up in sitting position. That’s when Jeanette came out of the goat house and saw me and sort of laughed and asked if the goats had left me behind. But then she realised I’d fallen and she came over and helped me up, and was very concerned and helpful as you’d expect from her. She offered to drive me home, but I just wanted to sit down and get my bearings back at that point. And at that point I hadn’t observed Mia pooping yet either, so I didn’t to go before I’d done that.
Well, I think I’m okay physically. Don’t think I have a concussion. Felt like I had a bloody nose, but I don’t think I really did. feels like I have slightly split lip. I am not sure about my back. It was pretty bad walking home, but it wasn’t great when I was walking out and I think just being out and about for hours made it worse. But I guess faceplanting on frozen ground might not have helped. Hopefully I didn’t mess myself up any worse. I really gotta be more careful.
Jeanette asked if I wanted her to move the little pile of hay out of the pen. Maybe it would have been smart, so I don’t keep falling over it. But. The goats like to jump up on it. I don’t want to take stuff away from the goats. So I think it stays for now. And I’ll try to watch where I’m going. Sheesh. Can I have morphine NOW?!
Just kidding. Mostly.
As long as Mia is ok, though. That’s our first priority.

I shouldn’t post this but.. hey, remember that video where I was running with Palle and I fell and broke a rib?
This is me falling today. You can just see Mia going over the little haypile and then CRASHBOOM. And the camera lying dead on the ground.
And the camera? Is done. Sigh. It’s bust. That sucks. I actually have several of this model, because it’s my favourite but it tends to stop focusing properly after a year or two.. so I have actually bought this model like.. 5 or 6 times over the years. Unfortunately it’s no longer in production, and the newer model doesn’t have the same colour settings that I love. So. I’m going to try my other ones and see if I can use them. Otherwise I’ll have to spend a boatload of money on a camera that doesn’t quite have the colour settings I want. Sigh. Well at least I survived getting my face dunked in frozen solid ground.
Yeah, you might want to skip this. it’s not very interesting anyway, you don’t hear me howl in pain or anything.

Well, I shall head to bed now. Hopefully I won’t be too wrecked tomorrow. I am starting to feel pretty sore in several places. Maybe i should check on ebay and see if I can get a replacement body. Maybe a fancy one with propellers and double exhaust pipes. I’ll need the extended warranty, naturally. Because you know it won’t be long before I’m tripping and falling. I blame gravity. Turn it down a notch.

How am I feeling today? Well my body is kind of sore. And so is my face, around the bridge of my nose and my forehead. But it’s not too bad really. My back is feeling pretty good, but that may just be because I’ve been sitting and doing nothing. Just taking it easy today. At least it doesn’t seem like getting hit in the face with the planet yesterday has made my ailments worse. Other than the soreness.
Other than that, no news. Parts of Denmark has been hit by a snowstorm. I am not sure what it’s like in my region, because I’m staying cocooned inside.

Got a message on Mia’s page from a young lady who wanted to rent the page. Haha. That’s a new one. She wanted to put up a couple of posts per day I think. I looked at her profile and she is a very attractive young lady, assuming it’s not a fake profile. Looked like the typical influencer type. I don’t know what she wanted to post on Mia’s page, but I doubt it’s anything goat related. I told her I was not interested in that. I don’t want anything other than my own post on Mia’s page, and I’m not interested in making money off of it.
You get some weird messages sometimes. The weirdest was someone who sent nude photos. Yup. They were pictures of a woman, but the profile was a man. So I don’t know what that was all about, he didn’t say anything. Just a couple of pictures of a naked woman. Ookay. I just ignored that, I don’t even want to know.
Several times a week usually I also get messages from farther off places in the world, India, Pakistan, the middle east. They are often wanting to ask for jobs at my farm. So I have to tell them that I’m just a volunteer goat herder, and there’s no work available. Sometimes they’ll send pictures of their passports and ask about visas and stuff. I don’t blame them for wanting to be goat herders in Denmark, but I can’t help them. There are also a couple of people routinely asking for donations to help with orphanages. And you know, I hate saying no to that, but I have no way of knowing if they are legit. It’s the internet, asking me to just send money to a random paypal address is just not enough.
Sometimes people ask advice about goats, and I’m not an expert other than just sitting around with them, but I do my best to answer as well as I can and then usually tell people to join one of the goat groups on here to get more qualified advice.
It’s strange and funny sometimes, but it’s been lovely being able to spread happy goat posts to so many people over there years. Reading all the comments, the support when times are bad and the happiness and community. And all you good people who have become personal friends here. I value you greatly, even though I’m bad at showing it. I had no idea where the road would lead me when my friend Jen created Mia’s page back in 2012. “She’s as cute as any baby animal on the internet, she could have her own page” was basically the gist. And now here we are. And by the way if you want to increase your food intake without gaining weight try the new patented weight loss minerals DietFreeFunFoodLala with offer cose okay just kidding.

Well, I tried my TENS device for the first time just now.
I am not sure what I think about it. I definitely felt the electric impulses. But I’m not sure it made me feel any better. But it’s hard to say, it’s not like I’m in constant pain, especially when I’m just sitting at the computer. But I’m not sure i feel any less tension in my back. I don’t know.
I’m not sure I put the electrical pads in the right place. Unfortunately the manual is not very helpful. I actually took photos of every page so I could get it on the computer and enlarge and enhance. But tehre was very little useful information. Nothing really about placement of the plugs. And it says it has 20 tens modes, but it says nothing about what each mode actually does. Maybe I shouldn’t just have bought the cheapest one I could find. Maybe a more expensive one would have some better documentation.
I guess I’ll keep trying it. Maybe at higher setting. I started out at level 2 of 16. Upped it to 3 about 10 minutes through the 15 minute session. I did feel the electrical impulses. Kind of like acupuncture with electricity instead of needles.
I’m not feeling too optimistic that I will get anything really out of it, I am sure it does wonders for a lot people. I just feel like it’s a bit beyond me. But we’ll see. I wonder if you’d electrocute yourself if you took a shower right after using it… haha.

RE; CBD oil against pain.
I have looked around a bit. I am finding it difficult. I don’t really want to order from the US because of customs and duties and legalities. And the Danish online market is.. difficult to know where what to trust and what’s best. I think i’m going to ask on the Denmark subreddit if anyone has experience ordering cbd in Denmark and if anyone know a trustworthy online shop. I’d like to just have some gummies or softgels or whatever, that seems easiest. But I think it’s still a pretty new and unregulated market in Denmark. Thanks all for the suggestions.

Good goat times today. A beautiful sunny day. But freezing cold. Snow on the ground. Patches of snow and ice in places. I think other places in Denmark were completely covered, so we got off lightly.
Mia seemed good today. Still no info from the vet though. Communication is not always great at the playground. Jeanette comes in early in the morning, but she leaves before some of the others start their shifts later in the day. And it’s not always that her messages to them get listened to, or that she gets theirs. She hasn’t heard anything new about Mia.
But, apparently there had been food in the goat feeder, so I guess they’re getting proper food again. I’m trying to hold back on the treats, but I think it’s okay to give some now. Reservedly. Everyone seemed good. In fact they seemed happier probably because they’d finally gotten proper food again. And Mia dropped some grade a berries, up to code. I think we are good now. It would be nice to actually hear if there are any results from the tests the vet did though. But so far so good.
We had some nice visitors too. Daycare or kindergarten kids. They went into the goat pen in pairs of two and got to see the goats up close and pet them. I ran interference with Milo. Apparently he’d been a bit cranky the other day and had been a bandit to some of the kids. Maybe it’s just because he was upset with the hay diet. But you never know with him.
And hey, I managed to not fall today. Imagine that!

Tried my TENS device again just now. I have to ask those of you with experiene with it… is it supposed to hurt? Haha. I upped the level to 3, and a little to 4, of 16 levels. And a few of the electric jolts kinda hurt. Not a lot, not so much I couldn’t handle it. And in fact it might have felt a little nice. But are you actually supposed to feel the electric jolts like that? Or are you supposed to not feel it physically?
I have to say, after another 15 minutes sessions.. I feel like a bit of the tension in back might have lessened. It was out a lot today and very tense and painful. I’m not sure if it’s the TENS that did it or it’s that I’ve been still in my chair for hours now. Or it’s psychosomatic. In any case I will certainly keep experimenting with it. And I got some replies on the Danish subreddit about buying CBD oil in Denmark, so I have some sites to look at that and see if it’s possible. I feel like the Danish market is still pretty Wild Wild West, it’s hard to know which places to trust. But hey hey we’ll see. Thank you to everyone who has offered ideas and support. It’s close to two months now without a single say of feeling normal and it is tiring. Knowing that if i get up and go outside then I’ll be in pain for the rest of the day is pretty demotivating.
One day a day.

One from today’s exercise mix. Managed an hour and half, so that’s something. I’m sleeping fairly well in bed now, as long as I take painkillers for the arm. I don’t need them during the day anymore. Since they do nothing for my back pains. Keep on trucking.

Guess what I’m doing?
I’m heating up a pot of soup!
Yes, it’s soup day.
I did not feel up to joining the family for soup today. Even just standing at the stove, peeling potatoes and carrots, I felt the tension and pain building in my back. Sigh. So a trip out walking was not appealing to me.
But dad came over with soup. Yes, mom cooked soup, dad delivered it to me. I know, I’m a spoiled boy. Hashtag blessed. Call it an early birthday gift.
Now I got soup for 3-4 days. Good stuff.

Exercise is done. A pot of soup warming on the stove. Going to sit back and enjoy mama’s homemade soup while watching old episodes of The Soup from 2008. If you’re going to go soup you must go full soup.
