who swallowed a camera

There was an old lady who swallowed a fly. I dunno why she swallowed that fly. I think she'll die. 
There was an old lady who swallowed a camera. I dunno why she swallowed a camera. I think she'll die.

Wearing Gastroenterology equipment as I swallowed a capsule camera.

When I was a child, we sang that song about the old lady. She swallowed spiders and shoes and I don't recall what all else, but dang if she didn't manage to entertain us for what seemed endless hours of summer nothingness. Holly G, I miss that. 

So, yeah, I swallowed a capsule with a tiny digital camera in it. It was as easy to swallow as a fish oil capsule. Which is to say, I dreaded it for nothing. 

Oh, there's that nothing. Again. 

I have an afficinicity for nothingness. The broad concept of it enthralls me. Nothingness. I crave it. I eat hours of it and still cannot get enough of it. 

A blank mind. 

A blank page. 

The lack of ambition. Lack of worry. Lack of pride. Lack of concern. Lack of effort. 

It is effortless. To experience nothingness. 

I digress. I swallowed a stupid little camera to take stupid little pictures of the insides of my guts as a diagnostic tool. Process of elimination, dontcha know. Holly G, the world's gotten complicated. Do you know that? (I hope you saw the movie Fargo.) 

So that's over with. In a couple weeks I will hear whether or not they think anemia, in my case, is due to a little leakage where I had surgery perhaps? Or internal bleeding has been ruled out and it's caused by a combination of the fact that 50% of the cells in my bone marrow (sample) were CLL type cancer. Consistent with my SLL/CLL diagnosis in June 2025. 

Oh me guts. 

Not to worry. Nothingness is coming round again. 

You can tell when I et a bit too much of the THC gummy. 

I should be walking across the street. Shopping for a decent pick of organic tomatoes, zucchini and carrots. Instead, I'm here, blahgging about what it's like to swallow a camera. 

It's no big deal, okay? No big deal. Unless, of course, you have an overactive gag reflex. In which case, I wish you all good luck on avoiding the necessity of this diagnostic procedure. 

Hopefully, they do not see any internal bleeding. 

Now stay present. Live while you are alive. Don't worry about a thing. Cuz like the man said, every little thing is gonna be alright. ❤

The capsule was not as big as an iPhone

Yep. Just checkin. Did I have swollen lymph nodes
in my neck in 2022? Didn't notice. Or care.

Once upon a time in Santa Rosa
2013, February -- yeah, the red chairs
before the cats clawed em.

Now rub your belly and pat your head at the same time. And sing the song at the top. 

Happy Saturday ❤
