point, like with food on itis painful. Like coming back from rotator

Don is not at that place anymore? The oh he left? Yes,
(01:49):
Yeah, where'd he go? He'sactually working for NIH? Is he
really? Oh? No kidding?I've told you that? What did I?
Oh? I didn't commit that tomemory. I just read something about
NIH that was fastating to me andI can't remember what it was. I
wonder if it was donnish who didit? And if I can just offend
myself for a second, I don'thave frozen shoulder. No, you have
a mental condition. Now no,please let misspeak. Yes, I have
(02:14):
frozen shoulders. Oh, thank you. Remember it's both of them, both
sides of your head or jacket.Because she said that to me, She's
like, initially, with the wayyour symptoms are, I thought it was
going to be frozen frozen frozen shoulder. And I was like, oh god,
the yeah, And she's like,no, no, no, it's
it's gonna be a psychiatrist. It'srotator cuff. So the so what what
exercises do you have to do?There's a bunch of different I mean it's
(02:37):
it's like it's like pages of them. I just did a chintuck probably about
fifteen minutes ago. Oh, becauseyou were crapping the honestly, honestly,
I said a text and his responsewas, oh, Tyler got mad about
my text. Yeah, Tyler wantedme to do something. Go ahead,
go ahead. Well, no,I don't want to misquote you. I
(03:00):
know exactly what I said. Well, I know the words you use.
I'm on the potty and I wroteyou could have just said no thanks or
not responded at all. Well,okay, well that would both of those
cases would have been rude. Notresponding would have been like, oh I
didn't get it, which you knowis not true. And number two,
(03:21):
why would I have just said nothings? That makes it sound like I
don't want to do it. Iwould have gladly done it, but I
couldn't do it while I was midplop, so that wasn't gonna happen. So
I was just like, I can't. Here's why, And there's nothing wrong
that. That's called in the businessworld, we call that transparency. So
yeah, there's nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with that at all.
What would you have rather, Well, I know, just nothing transparency
(03:46):
or it is pending lawsuit? Theam I going to line one? I
can do that? Hi Elliott inthe morning. Hey, what's going on,
dude? Hey man, we'll letDiane know. I actually got diagnosed
with the impingement suits them about threeor four years ago. I went in
for physical therapy and they had meto do a bunch of different exercises.
(04:08):
Yeah, I haven't had any issuesabout four years and may pain completely is
gone and I haven't had any relaxes. Oh that's good the year. Oh
dude, that's awesome. Good foryou, good for you, Well,
she said, because she's she's she'slike, I don't want to do like
the steroid shot. You don't needto go down that road. We don't
have shot. No, she's like, we don't have to talk about surgery.
She's like, let's do the physicaltherapy, come back in eight weeks
(04:30):
and and she's like, we coulddo the PRP where it's plate platelet rich
plasma, right, which I kindof like that idea. Yeah, you
just get somebody else's blood. No, it's your blood. I don't think
so. Yeah, it's your blood. Oh that's expensive. That's expensive.
I'm sure insurance won't cover that.By the way, Hey, thank thank
you. That's good to year.Thank you. Is impingement nerve. She
(04:53):
the way she kind of said islike she's it's it's to your your tendons.
And she's like, think of arope and you know how like a
rope over time is going to pray. Yeah, she's like, it's it's
pretty much like that. Gotcha,gotcha? No, Because my kid was
dealing with like a nerve issue inhis arm. And he's finally able to
make a fist again, like hewasn't able to do it for for months,
but he finally got that figured out. No, just falling apart the
(05:14):
uh no, you're not, You'rejust fraying. You're you're just frayed at
this. I'm fraying. All right, let's stay in medical land. How
was the dentist that we're going tothat I thought we were going to go
to the dog? Yeah, Oh, I really don't. I really don't
have much of an update on Clancy. I did have to I did have
to respond yes to a text messagefrom the bank about a heavy credit card
(05:36):
bill, like so that I hadto do. No, you know what,
they still don't know. They stilldon't know what caused it. So
right now they are just like therewas there was a moment yesterday where they
used the term race against time,and so like right now they're just trying
to get her what you call it, stabilized, which they really did yesterday.
(05:59):
Like Jackie and the younger kid wentto see the dog last night,
so they said that it was great, like the dog was fine, but
like Jackie and I were talking,she was like a part of me wants
to go just see the dog becauseshe's got to leave and go see her
parents. So I was like,so go and then she was like yeah,
And I was like, well,I wonder if it's like you go
see the dog and the dog's likethis is awesome, this is great,
like my owner's here, and thenyou just dog out again. But I
(06:21):
was like, dogs don't think likehumans do. Like that dog will go
right back to its room and lickits button. Everything will be fine.
And so she did that, althoughthe dog did pee on the floor while
they were in there. But thevet was like, yeah, dog's got
liver problems. It probably pisses allover the place at this point. So
maybe you're used to the word fineis not accurate. Wait say again,
you said the dog is fine.Oh yeah, no that I don't know,
(06:46):
Like I have no idea that thedog. I mean, the dog
stabilized yesterday, which is good.And the high liver counts come down or
are coming down. They're not atthe at like the safe normal range.
The dog is we think so,but they don't know what it is yet.
Like yesterday was all about just stopthe bleeding if you will, and
then then we'll try to figure outwhat it is. And so I know
(07:10):
that they did an ultrasound and theythey saw I can't remember where in the
body it was, but they sawa shadow, which is a little bit
scary. But they don't think it'slike they brought in a radiologist. Which
is about the time I had toclick yes on the credit card payment.
Yep, the god damn. Bythe way, I should just call Aeron
(07:31):
and go just tack on years tothe end, because I'll be working till
I'm three hundred years old to payoff this dog. The but the what
you call it, they don't think. They don't think it's like a cancerous
thing. So they want to figureout why there is a shadow. They
wanted to know when the dog wasSpade, and I was like, I
(07:53):
don't before we ever got it,like the dog was Spade in Mississippi.
Yeah, so they think, Iwonder if because of the shadow, and
they want to get first they gotto just keep the dog like breathing and
everything. They wonder if there's likea piece of gauze or something that was
left in the dog during Spain.Wow, Now that was a that's like
listen, we're just throwing possibilities outthere. Yeah, but it wasn't something
(08:16):
to them that looked cancerous or anything, which is great. So I think
I am going to get my wishthough, which is that the dog will
not come home today, but youwill be able to get her hopefully tomorrow.
I can't get her today, soit's going to be in there for
a week. Oh it could beoh oh yeah. The only I mean,
(08:37):
like, the good thing is likeI wasn't gonna I don't want the
dog today. That sounds horrible tosay, yes, but I just said
it yesterday, but it's it's areally bad inconvenience for me to get the
dog today. That was ownership ofa dog, but I don't want to.
But they're, like they had saidto Jackie, if you need the
dog to stay over, like ifthe dog is ready to be dismissed and
you need the dog to stay over, there is a fee for that.
(08:58):
But what I want is then togo, oh, the dog's not ready,
because then there's no fee. Well, there is a fee, but
then I just don't have to paylike the very expensive boarding fee. So
yeah, so I'm good, Ithink on that front. I'm happy to
hear that it sounds like we're headedin the right direction. Though we're heading
in a direction so eyes are stilla bit swollen, but it sounds like
(09:20):
it is still positive. She's breathing, which is positive. Yeah, Like
yesterday they did say like we're ina race against time, and so I
was like, oh, boy,like that that like you don't want to
hear that. Who loves dogs morethan I do, so you don't want
to hear that. So it wasso I guess I'll take it as a
positive. And again, the peopleat the Hope Center awesome, like they're
doing great. And our vet,like our our vet at a what is
(09:43):
it a false church animal hospital,they're awesome, Like everybody's been great.
Like you feel like you're the onlypatient, which is all you can ask
for. And I know we're notbecause you, like Jackie said, you
could hear the barking and stuff,so it's I know we're not the only
patient. But they make you feelthat way, which is which is awesome.
That's all you want. Yeah,No, that's great, that's good.
All right. How are the teethfine of a little concern compared to
(10:05):
a sick pet the human well humanteeth? Yeah, no, I'll take
that. I do it all dayyesterday. Did you really didn't I hope
you didn't think about my teeth.I did at one point think about it.
I wanted to text, but Iwas worried. What were you worried
about? He was on the bodythat the answer was going to be bad.
(10:26):
Well, I would have told you, I know, but I was
kind of waiting for you to takethe lead and just group text about it.
Well, what am I going togroup text? Hey, the dog
is alive, Clancy update dot dotdot. The dog is alive. Right,
I'll send that to you later.And you know what, during this
commercial break, I'm gonna go back. I'll send you a text. To
the best of my knowledge, Idon't know how the dog did overnight,
but to the best of mine,they don't call you like first thing in
(10:48):
the morning. Why am I goingto call that right now? Why would
I call that demanding a lot ofhim? He's got a text, he's
got a call. Jesus layoff,honest. Why would I call them right
now just to check and see howshe did overnight? Fine? Thank you?
You know we've got other patients rightnow. Like I'm not going to
take up time for them to getthose calls all the time. I'm I'm
(11:11):
going to love them so much
