Never have I ever

Originally posted 2023-05-19 09:00:00. Yesterday the anesthesia nurse for my upcoming surgery called for the pre-surgery instructions. Nothing out of the ordinary until she started telling me what medications I needed to stop and ones I could continue taking. My diabetes medication is normally not taken the morning of the surgery. Pretty normal. But she also said not to take it the day before as well. Now this was new to me. My diabetes is…

Not again

Originally posted 2023-05-17 11:54:32. Being my next surgery is May 31st I just need a little break. Now Saoirse needs to try and rest the “good” back leg since that leg takes the brunt of her weight in the back. Now we have been questioning whether we should have went ahead and had that bad leg amputated in the beginning. Is she going to be one of those dogs you see running over people’s feet…

Strength

Originally posted 2023-05-11 16:07:41. I was listening to a live on Tiktok and for some reason when I saw this meme the live came to mind. They were talking about many things but one thing I referring to is struggling can sometimes make you appreciate things more. Going without can make someone appreciate having things more. Someone being given everything in life will never fully appreciate working for it and paying for it themselves. I…

All Buttered Up

Originally posted 2023-05-05 10:00:00. Yesterday was one of those days that you just want it to hurry up and be over. I took Chewy out so many times I ended up with over 10,000 steps being accumulated. I knew he needed to poop but every time I took him out something distracted him and then he seemed to forget he had to poop. Was yesterday a full moon or something? Or was it something in…

No CPR?

Originally posted 2023-04-24 10:43:11. I dropped Chewy off this morning for his ACL surgery. I have never had someone ask me if they have any problems during surgery did we want them to attempt CPR. Uhhhh. There are people that say no? I mean, the money you are spending to get the dog’s leg fixed and then you don’t want to attempt CPR? I mean, God forbit anything like that happens but yes, by all…

Don’t remember part deuce

Originally posted 2023-03-26 18:17:06. So… I was talking to my daughter. Not sure how we got on the subject but it is what it is. We were talking some of the things that occurred while we were in Las Vegas and California. She was asking me if I remembered some of the crazy shit that happened in Vegas. Of course… I didn’t. I really wish I knew why I don’t remember things. Maybe it’s a…

So if you have been following me for a while you may remember I had been waiting for Chewy’s next surgery to get scheduled.

She worked on it so much I have had to lather my abdomen with my cbd massage melt and my cbd muscle rub. 😩 This is pretty much the first time someone has…
