When I'm done here, I'm off to work for 3 days, sleeping in my horse trailer, and returning Sunday evening. Today and tomorrow the expected high temp is 79-80. Sunday's expected high is 47. Burrrrrr!!!! Going from summer to winter in 24 hours is hard on you.
Mike made it home. He is at the Dr right not, having his bleeding checked out. He also has, according to his blood and urine tests, a bladder infection. Before all this happened, I set us both up with a consult with a gastoenterologist as a first step to having a colonoscopy for both of us. I had one at 40 due to a family history of colon cancer, and my baseline at 40 was fine. Mike has never had one. I'm hoping the bleeding was due to a hemorrhoid, as he doesn't eat enough fiber, and said he was slightly constipated at the time.
We have 2 new animals here at Little Moon Farm. Both were free. We have acquired another old, crippled, mare. The two will be company for each other. Picnic is a 25 year old Thoroughbred with a contracted tendon in her right front leg. This makes her hoof grow funny, and she can't be ridden, though she can move around fine. The other new animal is a second inside cat. We now have 2 inside cats, Jezebel, and no name. Both are spayed and declawed. No name came from a vet tech school that gets shelter cats, spays/neuters, and declaws them as well as giving them all their shots. At the end of the semester, they find homes for them. No name is about 5 years old they think, very sweet and loving, and the spitting image of Kenney's old cat Shamen.
My test results were unremarkable. I'm almost 55 years old, and inspite of my brush with cancer, I still take no prescription meds. I still have the colonoscopy to look forward to...
