Scooter went in for a follow-up visit today. Here’s what I had given to the vet. (This refers to her original condition): I just want to reiterate a few points: The morning Scooter had her incident she was fine. She was jumping up on tables, playing, being her usual rambunctious self. When I came home, […]
Yesterday my roofers met me at my house after I complained about a leak in my new roof that they have fixed 5 times. I said perhaps they should send a small guy up in the attic to see where the problem really is. They met me, and stuck their head in the attic, insisting […]
PET Scan: Lymph Nodes didn’t even show any cancer at all — it’s gone. That’s excellent news, of course. That’s right: there is no trace of any cancer in the Lymph nodes. The tumour itself still has some activity, though. The doctor can’t be 100% sure it’s still cancerous due to residual radiation and scar […]
Scooter is home. I picked her up from the vet earlier today. I’d love to tell you she’s feeling fine, but she isn’t. However, she is thrilled to be home. I spent some time with her, then left her alone for a short time to do a few errands. She cannot walk all that well, […]
First, see previous post from yesterday. I had an appointment today at 4pm to pick up Scooter and take her home. This appointment was made yesterday because Dr. Child was confident Scooter would be in better shape and able to go home. Friday afternoon is not the time to go to a vet’s office. After […]
Scooter has been losing a little bit of weight — mostly eating a bit less. But otherwise, she has been behaving normally.

A number of you have written asking for the latest update on dad. On the plus side, he’s definitely doing better. There is no question of that. He is also definitely not cured. I’d love to tell you he’s in remission, but he isn’t. However the news he got was good news. Only one mass […]
After yet another 1+ hour wait, I have my results. I am not going to die prematurely, at least not from this. Yay. When you’re all done dancing, I’ll continue typing. (Insert Pause Here) I’m going to be brief because my detailed medical history is boring and probably not for publication on the web, though […]
Eric with Tube In Nose This morning I had an esophageal manometry, and then that was followed with the hook-up for the 24-hour pH test. So, here I am with the ever-so-exciting medical device. This is yet another step in the research to prevent my hopefully unlikely and untimely demise. It was done this morning, […]
Let’s see, this is the 299th post in my blog so the next post will be a milestone of sorts. I will be sure and either commemorate it or perhaps entirely ignore it. Aetna Sucks Worse Than A Two-Bit Whore Today, I sent a formal complaint to the State of Florida department of insurance regulation […]
