Default intersting info...

Starting the 15th my dog, Pepper started being really confused and within 72 hours completely blind...Went to eye doc...My mom went with me and told him I had memory probs was why she was there. I told him I had hydro. He is in Charlotte apparently with several specialist...He started telling me that he worked with a neuro that was all the time shunting dogs. He said the little Taco bell dogs had hydro the most. He said the other day the other docter had shunted a guineapig... I had just wondered if our pets were able to be treated for hydro...

Well, Pepper has cateracts and has to have surger. He is 8 so he still has a lot of years to see the world.

Yesterday I saw my heart doc about the distal tickling the atery...I wore a monitor for 2 weeks I do have a mild tackacardia (I know I spelled that way wrong, but I don't know heart problem details too good) When they X-rayed my heart they could see the tip of the distal. Since I have been doing some better he thinks I can wait a bit before he suggest surgery to shorten the tube. But gave me a med to help slow my heart rate.

PS can someone tell me how to spell tackacardia?
