ARCP #2 Is Done

 Yesterday I had my second ERCP procedure, they removed the stent that was in the bile duct into the stomach area.  It was placed there July 2, 2025.

This is a picture of MY insides.

I had some discomfort immediately after the procedure and when Tylenol didn't help much, they gave me fentanyl. I was high and very, very sleepy. As far as I know, it's the first time I'd ever been given that drug and its WAY better than morphine but I would never let myself get hooked on it. I'd sleep through my whole life. I was so sleepy that after I got home I had a 3 hour nap.

As for other side affects, there haven't been any, yet. I do expect that I'll have some tomorrow morning and I'll need to call into work to get the day off and I suspect the next day won't be much better.

The ONLY person who called to check up on me was my farrier. MY FARRIER. What a great guy.

In other horse news, I haven't heard much from the trainers but every time we go see Amble she is doing well. 

Bad news is that Kitsap County has some hair brained idea that ALL horse facilities and farms need to be eradicated from the county and everyone will need farm plans, no equipment can be seen from the roads, all infrastructure (barns, sheds) have to be 50 feet from the property lines and all paddocks have to be 200 feet away from property lines; our property is only 160 feet wide by 1400 feet long. There is a meeting at the courthouse Monday night that we're going to go to, along with a LOT of other horse people from the area. This is bullshit on the counties part and we're damn mad about it.

More Bullshit

 I've been waiting for 3 weeks to get paid from PFML (paid family medical leave) for my stomach issues and finally figured out the card was already here but I didn't know it. Now I have the card all set up and THERE'S NO FUCKING MONEY ON IT. Those assholes owe me 2 weeks pay already and not a goddamn dime. My regular paycheck showed up in my account today and its only half what it should be, so I can pay about half my bills. FUCK.

The power company wants 3 times the 'budget' amount, I have to make a house payment and I have to pay the horse trainer. No matter what the horse trainer is getting paid first. The fucking bank can repo the truck for all I fucking care at this point.

I've been in too much pain, received too many doctor & hospital bills, had to deal with stupid websites that are utterly ridiculous to navigate, dealing with the PFML that doesn't return phone calls, doesn't answer if I call and doesn't answer emails. Almost zero communication with them.

I just can't do this shit right now but now that I'm physically feeling better its been long enough that I HAVE to deal with this shit.
