Pill cam...... yep still there

that dang little camera just hasnt moved....  💊
it is still in Larrys stomach, which is better than it being in his small intestines...  
but it is just sitting...... not taking any photos, because the battery only lasted 8 hours... it seems like Larry just can't catch a break....  he is feeling better since the last bleed, but those 2 bleeds set him back, he is just now where he was in early June....  

Frustrating to him.... 😖 this will mean another trip into the hospital 🏨 for an upper endoscopy to retrieve the camera.....  of course it is very depressing to him to think about more....  
CT scan tomorrow... gastric emptying scan scheduled for Friday.... 

Even if he needs a tooth pulled, it will be a hospital stay...  

Had his checkup with Dr Ransom yesterday....   they were so funny... ⌨️ they went live on their new computer system yesterday, and it was taking them 3x as long to do anything than before.  When they get the hang of it, it will be great, they will be connected to the hospital as well...  we did get to see his chest xray with his Lvad pump....  all was good with that visit......  but didnt have report from abdominal xray yet.....

Larry did get a new apparel in for batteries...  this isnt a vest, not a backpack....  it is a tool apron....  the others were hitting on one of the nerves causing back pain and his knee giving way...  just another option for him....

  1. How is he going to tie die his shirts now? Hmm! Nice barb-a-que apron.

  2. I thought it made me look good 😊. Actually, Di is good with tie dyeing. Appreciate the suggestion of the additional uses for the tool apron, thanks.

    The batteries & controller tend to get heavier as the day goes on. We haven't found anything that is truly comfortable, but we'll contine to try. 🎒
