Good, bad, and unknown

Good:
 Larry is coming home in the morning, bleeding has been slowed or at least his blood is built back up.... day of learning... from PA Josh, son Dr. David, and Dr Ransom......  hematocrit is all relative to individual patient... what those test results with the standard ranges are...  nothing really...   each patient has to be considered as to other symptoms and how the patient is doing... so the scare that I have with the numbers semming to be so low, are not all that liw for an LVADer.... plus the bleed he has could be one he has had for years, its just now the coumadin has his blood thinner so it squeezes out of an area that otherwise it might not.... yes that makes perfect sensr.....  duh, dumb it down for mama as nurse Pamela told me today......
And yes he has gym shorts on under that gown.



Unknown:
pill cam next week, hopefully on Tuesday.... this will give them 50,000 photos of his small intestine.....  lot of photos, even more than I took in Alaska

Bad:
Just now, when coming home, the neighbor was outside, stopped and talked to him.... that cat that I thought was in my house, had gone wacko, and they got rid of it in May.....🙀 it is not THE ALIEN CAT,so chances are it is either a raccoon or an opposum....  bad, scary......  ðŸ˜±



Either way, at lunch I went to Home Depot and bought a $50 animal trap, brought it home, set it up and baited it... now to see if I catch the dang thing tonight.... if you hear me scream in the morning, then I probably caught it....  ðŸ—£




Here is Larry modeling his new sash bag....  controller is in his pocket...  found it online....

  1. I am sure you have done this already but do you have a UPS that he plugs into at home? That will give you guys about 20 minutes of calm to get the battery plugged in.
