Wisdom-less with laughter

Originally posted 2015-09-19 03:30:34. Let’s see…where did I last leave this? I don’t think I quite remember where I left my purse much less the last post. I guess I could have looked back and see where I left it but …oh well. I am just going to wing it. Well Kayla had to have oral surgery on Wednesday. All four of her wisdom teeth decided to start coming in with a vengeance. Nothing like…

What the… knee?

Originally posted 2019-08-30 07:35:48. Ughh… what’s the deal with knees in this house?!  Chewy’s other leg/knee had something shift yesterday. I think it’s possibly the metal pin in there because it is common for the pins to dislodge. His other leg/knee did the same thing just pushed way out,almost pushing through the skin. Since it’s not pushing through the skin and he is still walking semi-normal we have an appointment Tuesday. Let’s hope it stays…

Scar Tissue

Originally posted 2020-11-16 09:00:17. Since I haven’t been able to get an appointment with my favorite massage therapist since the beginning of 2020 I had to find something to help. I won this Wonder Maxi massage gun in one of Adoption First Animal Rescue’s fundraising raffles. I started working on areas that never seem to get enough time. My midsection, my stomach. I have had so many surgeries and alot of them have been in my…

Week one

Originally posted 2022-05-29 16:55:02. Baby steps. I’m home from the hospital and making progress. When I was first rolled out of the OR I remember them covering my shoulders with lots of ice packs. It was to ease the swelling in my shoulders. They had to pull my arms and shoulders down and back so they could get to my neck the way they needed. My shoulders hurt like a mf’r when I started waking…

A few weeks

Originally posted 2022-05-03 16:45:53. As of today my surgery date has been set. It’s May 23rd. I have to do all the normal preoperative tests and what not. Then the Friday before the surgery, which is on a Monday, I have to stop by the surgeon’s office for them to mark me. I am not exactly sure what that means unless it is marking the area that will be fused. I am wondering if it…

Unexpected

Originally posted 2020-09-12 17:36:51. Late last night Leia went out to use the bathroom. On her way back in something happened. As she walked in the house further she spilled more blood. She bled the rest of the night while my husband and I took turns watching her. I called an emergency veterinary clinic but the person I spoke with didn’t exactly give me that comforting feeling everything would be ok. So first thing this…

Hardest Hour

Originally posted 2022-04-28 11:16:59. I had the an appointment with the cranial surgeon yesterday. It was to discuss the changes that have occurred since starting physical therapy. Well more like what happened after seeing the therapist one time. I explained to the surgeon how when I am horizontal it doesn’t seem be nearly as bad. But when I am vertical, that’s when it seems to get worse. It pain and burning sensations seem to crawl…

There’s a leak

These past few weeks have been crazy. Since getting out of the hospital I have been on a scheduled medication every four hours. I have been waiting for an appointment the see the surgeon (again). Not only the neurosurgeon but the surgeon that will be doing the ankle replacement. That appointment had to get postponed since the other issue showed up recently. I imagine that I will end up having to have another spinal fusion…
