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…

Originally posted 2014-07-07 18:33:37. You know there are days when I just want to give it all up and others that I can’t get enough. The life I was given I sure has its meanings. I just for once would like not to struggle…just once. I realize there are so many people who have been dealt a bad hand and others don’t even use their own. Some that think mommy and daddy are they forever…

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…

Late reaction

Originally posted 2020-02-06 08:00:00. Yeah, this could have turned out so different lol. I get up yesterday morning like any other morning. The exception, the dogs groomer would be here in a few minutes. I go outside to move my car and pull it behind my truck. The groomers mobile vehicle isn’t a small vehicle so I wanted to give her the room in the driveway. Since my husband didn’t get home from work until…

Second post surgery update

Originally posted 2020-02-03 08:00:53. I am almost 3 weeks post surgery! YAY! Now I am almost halfway through the “not able to drive” stage. I feel like a hobbit, lol. I did go with my husband to the grocery store yesterday just so I could get out of the house some. My doctor’s office called Friday to check up on me. I have constant pain throughout my body so not feeling pain is kind of…

Week #1

Originally posted 2023-05-01 10:46:29. Well we have survived week one. Not without mishaps I might add but a successful week nonetheless. Chewy just wants to stay outside for a little while but he can’t lol. Since it is a comfortable temperature as of this post I decided to crack open the windows and let him feel like he is somewhat outside. Chewy’s leg is starting to look a little better as far as the swelling…

Chewy Day…

Originally posted 2023-04-27 09:33:48. Your purchases help us take care of Chewy and everything that comes with this surgery. We knew his ACL was torn but not a full tear nor did we know anything about his meniscus tear. It is funny because if you recall my husband had a meniscus tear and they had to take out over half of his meniscus. Now Chewy had to have half of his meniscus taken out just…

And I can’t ask Why me?

Originally posted 2014-06-30 01:51:25. You know that age old saying, don’t ask why me? Well at least that is what I believed …that was something you just didn’t do. Even if you went through a crap ton of stuff you just didn’t ask why me. I don’t know about you but sometimes I sit back in my head (somewhere in that mass of echoing space that I call my mind) and still wonder why it…
