Bath Time, Railroad Nails, Ear Color and Gray Fluff


Mom, stop looking at me, I am 
taking my bath!

A week ago last Sat. Amber and I 
went to an indoor flea market. 
I did not see anything I needed
but some of what I saw I 
might want, was more than 
I wanted to pay.

I did see these cool looking
nails. The box they were in said
they were railroad nails. I have seen 
railroad nails that are large but never
these. I picked up two, one for 
each brother. The man that was selling
had stepped out and his friend had 
no clue what the number on top
meant. I looked it up when I got 
home. That number means that 
that is the year they were used
on the track.
1935
and 
1927.
Now, that is really cool. 
 
I just think things like this is so neat ,
that all this
time, I am just now learning 
about these antique nails.
I have to admit, when I go to 
an antique store and  see some of the things
I see, it amazes me that its still 
around. 

As I wtite this, it is Tuesday.
I went for my ultrusound and results, 
of course hits the portal before the doc 
sees it. Sometimes I hate those portals
and other times I am okay with them.
So, blood work has some ups and downs
but the parathyroid also has
a nodule (7mm), on the left side.
Looking that up it also has the same
symptoms as low B12 and iron. 
So not that one thing hit me hard,
but it was several. That explains why 
I have felt like everything I had in 
me was sucked out, for months.
Mom must have been right, I stood
in the wrong line for body parts.

Isn't this the prettiest color for 
an ear?


And check out this 
beautiful gray ball of 
fluff!

What a cool find! I know flea market vendors expect haggling but I've never been comfortable with it. ~shakes head~ On that note, I just remembered that there's a specific reason I want to go this weekend. LOL You and your sweet babies are beautiful. Best wishes on improving health, my dear.

PS Your precious mom was right, I dare say.

As the wife of a retired railroad worker - thanks for the nail history lesson. He might know that but I don't think he has any of those nails and it means I will be looking at flea markets and thrift shops!
I hope this ultrasound brings you some treatment and solution. It sounds like a path to straighten things out. I do like the portal. It helps me prepare for my appointments with questions.
Your girls are adorable! I hope you hear from your Doc to intrepret those results soon.

Sorry your labs aren't great, but then again, now you know what's wrong so you can start to mitigate the issue. I hope this helps you to feel so much better.

Those nails are pretty cool
Hopefully now that they know more from the tests they can get you on the right track

I don't know much about parathyroid but B-12 and Iron are pretty easy to get up to speed. I hope your follow-up is a good one and relatively easy. It's really hard when multiple things hit at the same time. On another note, that's one beautiful ear and the nails are really interesting. Take care and keep us posted.

Treatment to follow I hope, Pam. Love the photos!

Such pretty kitties!!! I hear you. We also have the portal to read results before the doctor gets them. I always look everything up that I can so I know what they are talking about when I talk to the doctor. I had blood work yesterday and it looks pretty good-better than before. Hoping things are okay with your health. xo Diana
