Thank you imiubu, there was some possible good news a while ago. They think rather than a crohn's problem they think it might be related to all the scar tissue she has. They are trying to free up the blockage using a medication before contemplating surgery. A medication they give patients when they are trying to diagnose issues while scanning the intestine can cause blockages to come undone. They are trying that first, the doctors said this is kind of like a side effect from medication used in the scanning an image. Not actually used for this purpose. She has had many surgeries for crohn's and has considerable scar tissue.

Hopefully it works.

Years ago I did some work for a Woman local who had started a organzation that recognizes the amount of scar tissue pain internally does to folks.
I know we have some who suffer here.
Nothing is change or cut out a part and your over and done with it.
Kinda like getting work done under your dash board. You pay for it forever.

Your right, she ain't no mermaidshe said so herself.

3rd. dead squirrel I've found on our property this year.
This one I found in the driveway today just a few short minutes ago.
He/ she looks like it was trying to find shelter from the sun and just died
there in the shade cast by the back end of the truck.

I've already disposed of the other two I found earlier in the year, sigh.
I text the young man downstairs, explained the situation and asked if
he would bag it and put it in his trash cart (that goes out in the a.m.).

He text back immediately; "I can do that".
Cool.
The flies were all green and buzzin' and this gal just cannot
deal with a dead animal right now.

Maybe yall got a cat that hangs out? My cat use to love to kill squirrels

Yes, I can think of a couple members for sure who have commented on their issues with excessive scar tissue.
Who would have thought that it could be such a problem and in this case life threatening.

I have a lot of scar tissue in my nose. The Ears, Nose and Throat doctor diagnosed me with nasal rhinitis.
I can't imagine having your guts laden with scar tissue. That would be terrible.

Can we have a toasted corn beef and rye, I am all stoked up now for one now, but first I'll have some cookie. What goes with it, would fries work, potato salad, cottage cheese, pork and beans or maybe a salad.

Just saw a lovely young fox - in great condition - on my way home from a friends place tonight -

One of the many foxes I see every day - and I stopped for a couple of minutes - and chatted with him - before he trotted off -

The first one was struck by a car (I think), was lying at our front curb.
It was a youngster and unfortunately, still alive. I put my thick leather
gloves on to go out and pick it up. Good thing too as it was very diligently
trying to bite my hand. I was hopeful that it wasn't injured too badly.
I walked it over to the field and lay it gently under the trees in the soft grass.
Went back the next day and it was dead.

2nd. one looked like it just dropped out of the tree in the back yard.
No injuries that I could see.
This one in the drive also didn't have any noticeable injuries.
Looks like it just lay down and died.

All 3 of these squirrels have looked well fed and healthy.
But... I know nothing of the life of squirrels.

Hey @Gypsy Nirvana
I watched the same Billy Idol video and thought of you haha.
I meant to post it last night, then became distracted.

So difficult to wrap my head around that album being 40 years old.
It was just yesterday we were at the clubs dancing to Rebel Yell after all.
Least it seems that way

Another native son that made it big.
Grew up about 10 blocks from where I currently live.

My fave SW LP is Songs in the Key of Life.

Love IS the answer.

Love of my life used to sing this to me.

105F in the Sun, according to the thermometer outside the kitchen window
It's a scorcher out there At least the humidity is down today.

Indoors again for the day at a comfortable 72F.
So happy to have you folks to spend time with.

I've already shared more in this thread than I have
on all forums over the last 15yrs.
In part, cuz most folks here let it all hang out.. at least a lil bit.
Other part is... I don't care any more what others think of me
and then there's the point of a little bit of TMI can be humorous
or perhaps even entertaining haha.

The last post I made brought up another memory.
Early 90's and Karaoke was getting big. The club/ bar
I worked at then, had started doing it and it was fun (then haha).
On my night off, my now ex, his mom, sis and 2 brothers went
in for dinner and to watch folks sing (and some not so good lol).

We were having a good time. The next singer was called up
and it was my BF. HU I'd never heard him sing and he certainly
would never dance w/ me haha. He signed up and didn't tell us
so, we were all surprised.
He dedicated this song to me, did an excellent job and got a standing ovation LOL




As you may imagine... when we got home that night...

Sounds like they were poisoned somehow.
Cats are pretty tough and when it's time for them to die they hide.

That's what I think also.
Although, it seems about every 2 years I get about 3 dead squirrels.
All 'look' healthy and like they just dropped out of a tree. Weird.

Someone near by feeds them peanuts and someone else poisons them? dunno
