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…

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…

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…
Originally posted 2023-04-25 12:09:58. Chewy is now home. Day one starts now. In surgery they discovered he had a full ACL tear as well as his meniscus. They had to take out half of his meniscus. As you can see he is in a lot pain but hopefully we get him home and get him settled then he can rest. We have his medications filled and will get him on a schedule. For now we…
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…
Originally posted 2020-01-27 17:09:32. It’s now been a couple of weeks since my back surgery. I have definitely made some progress but not as much as I’d like. Sometimes my own pride and determination get in the way and I do too much. Like today, I was looking for some of my replacement parts for my irobot vacuum and know I had them somewhere. So, I started moving this and that. Putting this here and…
Originally posted 2023-04-14 10:44:30. Chewy’s surgery date is now set! He will be going in for his surgery April 24th. Please keep him in your thoughts as that day approaches.

Originally posted 2014-05-13 12:51:47. Ok, this is more of a plea for help. It is sort of linked to one of the other posts I made recently. Here is the link to that post…http://throughourlives.com/2014/05/10/i-need-corrective-surgery-but-have-to-pay-over-7500-first/ Since I went to the ER the other day something seemed to changed. I am not sure if it is symptom to taking a new medication for pain. I had never tried this one. I know pain medications can make you…
Originally posted 2020-01-17 18:29:33. As anyone knows during recovery from surgery you have limitations. One of which is taking a normal shower or bath. I was sent this box a few weeks ago and let me tell you, I am so glad I got it (so is my husband lol). I haven’t been able to take a shower but I needed to clean up somehow and standing up trying to wash myself up right now…
Originally posted 2014-05-05 14:03:04. OK, this post will be relevant to some…others not so much. My husband was in the Marine Corps, loved his job, but he wasn’t born a stick figure. There are some people who just are “built” bigger than others. He did his job and did it well. He just needed more exercise than some. So when your so-called “leaders” are more inclined to not PT (exercise) then it hurts others. He didn’t…
