Granny's gone and done it again

[Nomadicus]

Now that I know what is going on here I'm going to bed. Coughing and sneezing maybe from being out in the cold today. Sleep well everyone.

Im home honey.. Been home for an hr or so. I was wore out and fell asleep. It was a very long wait. My knee has a torn ligament and I have orders to stay off it and see ortho and my chest was either fractured ribs or smashed pec. muscle. He said didnt matter because treatment was the same for both.Ice and rest.

Well that's interesting... I would think it does matter bc broken ribs can poke into muscles and/or lungs so IMO it would be useful to know if that's what you've got.. also does it take the same length of time to heal broken ribs as smashed pects? Might be useful info.

I hope you can stay off that knee, which one is it? How long before you can get in to see ortho about the knee?

I'll be surprised it she will ever allow any place to admit her that dose not have a smoking facility for smokers????

This too. She would be worrying about Robert and Tom too.

She takes care of them. They can’t be on their own.

I need a harness for this guy. I think he would walk with me.

While we're sharing health stuff. I finally admitted to my MD the other day that I am concerned about my memory. I'm having a short in the part of my brain where my vocabulary is stored. I'll start talking and I know what I want to say, then halfway through my sentence the word I want just isn't there and I get stuck. Aggravating. I used to be able to find a substitute, or to describe what I mean but lately that's not working either. So he's sending me to a neurologist for a memory work-up. I'm concerned bc I think this is an early stage of Alzheimer's. @cynthia, you'd know, I think. Am I right to be concerned? Also I keep biting my tongue, lips or cheeks. Like probably twice a week, and that's new. Been going on a couple of months now. It's okay if it is ... I just want to know, so we can make plans.

Yeah I think it would matter. I wonder if they took xrays

I have been having the same thing. I can’t think of the proper word.

I give Sammy little bits of cheese from time to time as a treat, not just for Rx. If you need to make Fawn swallow, hold her head pointing up with her mouth closed, stroke up on her throat and blow gently on her nose if she won't snap at you, or gently stroke her nostrils. Should make her lick her lips and once her tongue comes forward then back, you will know the pill has gone down.


PetSmart and other pet supply stores should let you bring her in for a fitting. Or measure around her neck and the pet store will provide you a collar that fits. If it doesn't they should exchange it no problem.


I give him two luttle squares with no Rx then one with, then another plain one. I have to mind my fingers, lol!


Wonderful news all around!


I agree. Harnessing arctic breeds enables them to pull heavy sleds.


I much prefer a prong collar, far more humane (when properly fitted and used with understanding) than a "choke" collar. Why? Because after pulling in it once most dogs will not pull again. The handler has to know to keep the line slack but most don't. On my Shelties a prong does not break their beautiful long coat. And many dogs will slip out of a flat collar in an emergency.

I’ve gotten and returned harnesses that don’t fit. I’ve always done harnesses - though Kira I may have to try other methods. She’s not a horrible puller per se but she does have moments of cracking out.


(As you can see, goose was all about that harness life. It had a handle on it too so if ever something happened where I needed to keep him close, I’d just reach down and boom. Figure I’d share a wintery pic with all the cold weather lately - twist you ok?)

That being said I’ve also liked martingale style collars. They don’t choke down like a choke collar but will tighten up enough to avoid an escape if fitted properly.

Glad you’re home and got looked at. Keep an eye out for any new shortness of breath and head your booty back in if so.

Other realtor is picking up the remaining chickens Sunday. breaks my heart. I’ll be chickenless. Two of my girls are OG girls too.

Should have the house packed up and fully moved into the motorhome this weekend.

Migraine attacked today. That sucked. Whoever invented the excedrin migraine gets my undying love and gratitude though. It takes a while to kick in for me - but it keeps me functional at least. Had to swing by Home Depot on the way home, and get here and had some friends over. Did dinner with them (all I wanted to do was curl up in bed) but now it’s back home again and I am curled up in bed. Shhh. I’ve got stuff to pack but nuts to it. I got so much staring at numbers and doing paperwork tomorrow.

they did. said there was a difference between broken and fractured. Like I would have hair line fractures.
