I started this blog in mid 2018 and kept it quite impersonal until mid 2024, and ramping up a lot last year. I feel like I should be making separate sites or RSS feeds/categories for personal things and tech things. But honestly I have a very hard time separating a lot of posts into one or the other, as they tend to overlap. Is this super important to you that I separate it or do you come here for me? Loading...

Bloodwork, X-ray,Cultures, CT, Sonogram+EKG all results are inconclusive.Yesterday the specialist on the EKG said its most likely an infection +cancer . We can try to clear up the infection with targeted antibiotics from a lab culture. We are waiting on those now. After the infection clears up we can try to do a biopsy to see if it is cancer. Since there are no visible signs anywhere this is our only option as it's an extremely tough case. We were told by our friend who is a human radiologist th

Not a great post to start the new year unfortunately. Went to the Vet a few days ago as she was struggling to breath again . They tried draining fluid from her chest cavity but there really wasn't any . After further looking it seems the fluid is in the pericardial sack which is by the heart preventing her from being able to fully expand and contract in that area and limiting her breathing. Unfortunately they are to scared to try to drain that. We are going into a EKG today which will tell us if

I was trying to come up with a end of the year blog post for the past few days and I was having a difficult time structuring it and starting it. I came across this blog post from Doug and today and thought it was a good way to go about it. The original Idea is from the Obsidian Ceo, Steph Ango.  1. What did you do this year that you’d never done before? Started (trying to, lol) taking care of myself as my body has been breaking down. 2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions? I

They don't see any tumors or cancer type issues from the CT scan standing out at all but they will continue to review it.
