Pill cam NOPE

was waiting till today to post pill cam yesterday SEEMED to go fine....
After they took the monitor off we went to eat, the by Home Depot fir more flea stuff...

Well MORE DRAMA.
GI office just called, pill cam never made it past his stomach, they have him set for xray on monday to look for it.
Ok sent a text to his nurse, she just called me from her car.....  when she gets into office, she will call the GI 's nurse and then talk to Dr Ransom..

What i read online said surgical retrieval might be necessary.....  for now just waiting....   he feels fine. He does not need another setback.....  not physically and not mentally.....

So tired of DRAMA....

Still fighting fleas....  are fairly contained in upstairs studio, but the bites on my ankles are horrible....

Smile.....  Larry is being amazingly postive.....




''Relax, he is not gonna need surgery"'   is what surgeon son just told me.... plus he graduated from med school with the GI doctor......   so that makes me feel a little bit better......

Clinic visit yesterday.....
first thing saw Dr Ransom in the hallway eating a breakfast bar.....
Then went to lab, orders weren't there so had to wait, not too long, texted Tori and she sent them down....
 then xray, that was fast...
Then up to see Dr Ransom in room.....  full house, not all patients, but family too.
Nothing bad, no change for the most part...  back on diuretics as his breathing is better on them...
Go back in 2 weeks.  Dont knownumbers, but Tori said they were good...

Today is prep for pill cam.....  usual drink this stuff, clear liquids, then NPO... be there at 6:30 am, take the pill put on a monitor, the come home and wait, back at 3, give them the monitor, then they will process the 50,000 photos.  Pill camera is disposal, we do not take it back.....

Also today,,, DRAMA alert......
The POSSUM is gone, but he left me a rememberance.....  
fleas, 
I have seen some on dogs and reapplied their flea drops on Saturday night... they went to groomers on Sunday and had flea shampoo.... 
thought no more of it..
Went up to my studio today, and wow... i got attacked...  i looked down and my ankles were covered, and yes they were biting me....  so I ran down, grabbed the spray and sprayed everything I could get to....  then I came down, grabbed the on dog direct spray and outside I went...  covered my legs and feet...  by this time, the fleas were on my arms as well, so ran to the bathroom, stepped into the shower, stripped down, put clothes in a plastic bag, and took a shower...  
then grabbed the clothes, dog bedding again, and put in hot water wash..... went back and used the household spray again in those areas...  
then since I have so many bites on my ankles, i decided it would be wise to take a benedryl..  i still feel like they are climbing all over me.... 

Larry is steaming the living room carpet as I type....  me i am gonna go take a benedryl nap....
