At least that is what we have estimated it at. Our daughter found him in 2007 and they estimated his age at around 6 months then. James and I have been together (as of June of this year) 16 years. So we always go off our anniversary…

We go the day of surgery and get ready to pay at least $1200, I hand the lady my card and then she gives it back to me. She informed James and I that someone had donated $2,000 on his account. I started balling my eyes out and…
Originally posted 2022-12-31 12:57:18. This past week and some change has been a wild one. Started on the night of the 22nd and as of right now still lingering. I woke up to my husband throwing up and wailing in pain. It was odd because it was the same exact pain and complaints from the last time he ended up in the emergency room. The last ER visit didn’t result in a diagnosis, which worried…
Originally posted 2017-01-03 17:21:17. Within the span of the past month and some change it seems it has been non-stop around here. The newest pup, Chewy had his surgery in November to reconstruct his knee/leg in order to stabilize his kneecap. It kept sliding off to the side of his leg and then back to the front. It was seemed to be going ok several weeks after. Other than the fact I had to keep…
Originally posted 2022-12-07 17:44:47. You ever done a puzzle that you swear the pieces just don’t fit? You put them together and they aren’t fitting like you think they should. They should be together, looking crisp and clean but they don’t. They have spaces in between them and some of the edges are tight fitting more than they should. My point? My body seems to be the puzzle in question. I have had so many…

Yesterday, when I took Dusty to his neurology appointment we were told time to replace the batteries in his VNS device. Yes, I know… it is just a simple little surgery to change the batteries. Let me explain why I just…
Yesterday’s physical therapy was a little tougher than other sessions. More specific… they had me picking up little pegs with my feet/ toes and putting them in a pan. That was alot f’n harder than I thought it would be. I had done marbles with my feet but this… this was on a whole other level. I asked the therapist about the numbness that’s still there. He mentioned that when some of it comes back…
I don’t think in my upwards of 40 surgeries I’ve seen my scars or sutures peel like this. I have put some of my Miracle Oil on it twice a day in hopes it lessens their appearance. The pain is definitely improving from the beginning. I have to wear a boot when I am up and around (which to be honest ain’t much). My boots have airbags 🤣. The turn dial (A) switches the control…
This week has been weird when it comes to bathroom visits. After my doctor’s appointment on Tuesday we went around the corner to a small restaurant to get something to eat before our ride home. I had to use the bathroom so I try my best using my walker to get to the bathroom. I do my thing and then attempt to wash my hands. After I wash my hands somehow the sink comes off…
