Yeah, I got to see you on the camera. Great to see you are ok. I noticed you checking Elsie out, everything feel ok? It was cute to watch her try to go out with you.

I can't get the video to come up. Not sure why, because I was able to view it last week. 
Copied and pasted the link into Internet Explorer and it's now working fine. I did a search, and many users of the site are having problems loading videos in Firefox. I hate IE, but will suffer through to keep an eye on Elsie's progress

I have firefox, and I have been watching ever since yesterday. I know that mamaboid said that she has been having stormy weather. There were times when it was a black screen, but it came back on in a little bit.quiltnchik said:I can't get the video to come up. Not sure why, because I was able to view it last week.

I can't get the camera to work today, so I will check back later. I hope everything went ok with your doctors appointment and that Elsie is doing good too.

Good morning all. Well, I had a day yesterday. First off let me explain that the camera was off most of the night because we had a heck of a lot of a lot of wind here last night and lost our internet signal and phone service around 8pm and it didn't come back on til after 8 this morning. So, after a really long day at the hospital, which I will tell you about next, I spent a reeealllly long night going back and forth to the barn to check on Elsie. She, of course, slept peacefully and soundly most of the night, and pretty much gave me the stink eye whenever I woke her up. She is pretty much the same this morning as she has been for a week now. I swear, if it wasn't for those little noses, (or butts) that jump out of her sides every once in a while, I would say she was just kiddin.
As for my hospital visit, let me tell you, I think they search the world to find the MOST obnoxious tasting junk they can find to make you drink before a cat scan. OMG it was gross. 3 great big glasses of orange creamsicle flavored semi liquid 45 minutes apart before they even start the test. Which adds up to a whole lot of sittin around doing nuttin but wondering how my goat was doing. The scan went well, and they found the rupture I have in my surgical scar from 2010, and I am scheduled for surgery on March 5. Because of the blood clots that went through my lungs in 2010, I may have to have a filter put in first to keep clots from going there again. I will know that next Monday when I go to see the hematologist. I take coumadin, so I will have to take shots in place of that for a few days before and after my surgery also. I have to have some blood work done again tomorrow morning because I take diabetic meds and metformin interacts with the injectable dye that they also used for the scan yesterday. That will only take a couple hours first thing tomorrow morning to get there and back. I had 4 appointments yesterday, and was at the hospital going from place to place from 10:45am until almost 5pm last night. Man that makes a long day. I was more tired than if I had cleaned the chicken coop.
Thanks for all your prayers and good thoughts, and also, thanks for watchin out for my girl yesterday. I am sure she could tell you were watching and held off because of it. I mean.....she is a goat after all.

Since you're diabetic, please be careful with CT contrast; it can cause major kidney problems in diabetics. I type for 2 oncologists/hematologists and it sounds like your doctor is considering an IVC filter for you. Hope you're feeling better and up to par soon!Mamaboid said:Good morning all.

IVC is correct. I had one put in after the blood clots and before my resection was done in 2010 and it was removed in March of 2011 after I was "completely healed". Now with this newest development, they are going to decide if we need to do it again. Being a diabetic is just flat out a pain in the .....lower regions. EVERYTHING just get much more complicated, and with the added blood clot threat, even things that should be relatively minor become big deals.
