baron's big day, winding down

reader, this morning the baron took baron to the vet, to meet with a doctor who would give him an ultrasound. the ultrasound would determine whether baron's cushing's disease was pituitary gland dependent or adrenal gland dependent, the former necessitating medication, the latter, surgery. the ultrasound, the baron learned, is a live test, one that enables the doctor to see RIGHT AWAY whether or not there were any tumors on baron's adrenal glands; if there were not, the doctor's assumption would be that the cushing's was pituitary dependent.

so. that ultrasound seemed to take a LONG time. the baron had her fingers crossed for no tumors, no surgery.

some conversation during the ultrasound:
doctor (while rubbing the sensor around baron's belly): you can see some gas in his stomach there...
the baron: yeah. that's as per usual.

doctor: so, baron's quite thirsty. any accidents in the house?
the baron: not so much accidents as... purposeful.

doctor: his adrenal glands and his liver are enlarged, which is consistent with cushing's. i see no evidence of tumors on either of his adrenal glands, so we can assume that his cushing's is pituitary dependent. the tech will see you into an exam room. i'll be in to talk to you about medication for him.
the baron (heaving a sigh of relief): ok.
