Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

I wish... the doc has to read the test results first....:barnie then order the machine I guess but she said the next appointment was to be after I had used it for a while to check on progress. :he

So We will See What We will see...... :th

Do you think they make you jump through enough hoops already?
 
I think it's finally over for the year.....:fl
Oh I hope so! :fl
day 1 of radiation treatment was the actual simmulation...
Scratching head here. But the gals were nice (nurses) and the Radiation Tech was nice too.

I was in the waiting room about half hour before the appointment.. nuse came out and called my name... she moved to a consipiratational posture and talked low... "is your bladder full?"

"Not any more" having just made a trip to the potty.

"you need a full bladder"

Oh crap I thought... takes about half hour to do that again (for me) She went and got three cups and filled them with water... "drink these..."
"is that enough?"
'It will have to be.... I will come back in about twenty minutes"
I drank the water then filled two more and drank those.... Brain freeze....

So loaded with five cups of water I sat and waited. She came out and asked if my bladder was full... "No" I said...

"I will come back in another five minutes"

There is a tipping point with me and my bladder.... ONce I feel it I need to go or I go anyway..... :gig shamefull thing to admit... but the pad I wear is totally insufficient...

On the way to the radiation room she lets me know I will have to have a full bladder for EVERY treatment... (crap um no the other stuff) by the time I got to the room bladder was hinting... Yay.

No radiation today only xrays... They informed me I had gas pockets.... Well Duh... I been on a Black bean kick of late. Oh and they found my blue dots no problems.

Andd NO disrobing for the whole thing ..... :weeOn the way out I was given the radiation Diet.... SMH... finally got to read it and its a no brainer... but No fiber.... No Black beans... DUH.

Radiation starts tomorrow and I will show up full bladder, No fiber, and NO metal on the pants.... Though I may have to cut the sides so they can see the dots .... I am still thinking on that one. :oops:

I'm so glad it went well! :hugs
I know the whole bladder issue well!:hmm
You're in my prayers lady!:hugs
Crum.
I took the special scrambled egg out to the barn like usual and the spot where Kewp always comes to spend the night was empty.
My special needs EE didn't find her way back to the barn tonight. I searched her normal hangouts, but couldn't find her. She was having more difficulties than normal this morning, so I checked on her a couple times today and she seemed to be resting comfortably. I knew this day would eventually arrive. I'm just bummed it's tonight. :(
Well poo...:( I hope she turns up!:fl

Yep! That's it!:lau:gig

Good morning Pond! :frow
Had one last chick hatch yesterday evening. I ended up having to assist. It was week and I didn't think it was going to make it but it did!:celebrate

It's windy and chilly today.:( and it's grocery day...:sick
Hope it's a great day for you all!:fl
 
Went by my house on break to check on ducks and stuff and got to hear my neighbor chic cussing out her kids again. Seriously. . I'm starting to wonder if I should call cps. :th
I just don't know. If I call and make a report. . they will tell them what they report was about at the least. . and they will likely know it was me. Not really anyone else close enough to hear it. And I mean what if she is just a stressed out mom trying her best. I haven't seen any physical abuse.
But then there is the trash. . uhh. You just don't know what goes on behind closed doors. I don't want to be a nosey neighbor but it's kinda hard not to see and hear it.

Those are such tricky situations. How well do you know them? Would it be weird to ask her how she's doing and does she need anything? Or just bring over some cookies or something? Sometimes kindness is a best first start, but yeah, definitely something to watch. Do the kids go your school?
 
So, I found Kewp this morning. She was wedged in the very center of one of our gigantic bushes. It took a bit of work just to get to her. She was breathing, but barely - not opening her eyes. She's been one of those flighty and frail EEs her whole life. But, I have been really taking care of her for the better part of 6 months now; so I couldn't just euthanize her on the spot. I know. I know. My advice to others would be totally different from what I'm doing right now. I made her a comfy bed of straw (she was never a people friendly bird, so holding her would not allow her to rest) in a warm spot away from the other birds. She kind of nestled in and I propped her head up a little. Her eyes are closed and I know she's not got long. :( Why am I so sad about this bird??
