Granny's gone and done it again

[microchick]

Morning everyone. We are settling in to being back home. DH is doing fantastic. A little sore and his appetite isn't back to where it was but all things considered as to how sick he was he is doing just amazingly well. His biggest complaint is that he is swollen and bloated. I would be complaining too, lol.

Sad news, we lost our Johnny Cash last night. 25 years old. He was laying by our refrigerator when we got home, semi conscious and passed 3 hours later. I think he waited till we got home to go. He had been failing for over two weeks, vomiting, losing what little weight he had, not eating well so we knew it would happen any time.

Here he is in better times....

I'm sorry about Mr. Cash. It's hard to lose a pet. Did y'all have him the entire 25 years?

I'm sorry for the loss of your pet. I know he had a good life with you. So glad DH is doing well, just both of you take it easy. Healing will come in the proper time.

No. One of our patients gave him to us as a stray. The vet estimated he was close to 8 and that was in 2008. He had been roaming from house to house in a subdivision and starting to cross the highway so we took him in when people started to worry that he was going to get hit by a car. They said everyone was letting him in, feeding him and then he would go to the door to be let out and hit the next house.

Quite the character.

Thanks Iris. How is Hubby doing?

Hi everyone! I just popped in here to see if any of you have heard fri Kelsey lately. (@ShrekDawg) I haven't seen her around and I'm a bit worried about her.

No, we haven't . We are worried as well

 

[Granny Hatchet]

Im glad you guys are home. DH will heal faster being home. Plus you will get more rest. At least I do even though I have more responsibility.
RIP Johnny Cash. He had a good long life with you. (17 yrs.) I know you will miss him.

Thanks so much, Granny. We are glad to be home too. It's been pouring rain here so the ankle deep grass is just going to have to wait to be cut...yay...Meanwhile, I'm catching up on laundry that hasn't been done in over a week. DH has been puttering around. He's so cute. I'm in the kitchen and see him moving around behind me, turn around and he has the broom and is busily sweeping up fur balls that have been neglected along with the laundry. I asked him what he was doing and he said 'helping' and added that I couldn't complain because the broom weighed under 10 pounds which is his weight limit right now.

Nope, couldn't say a word, just told him where the dust pan was....it's under 10 pounds also.

Yes, Cash had an amazingly long life for a cat in spite of run ins with the cattle dogs, trips to the vet for stitches, etc.

I've been trying to follow things as much as possible. The hospital DH was in was HUGE. I swear I walked miles just to scare up a sandwich at the Subway kiosk there. Just endless long concrete hallways connecting one addition to another. I talked with one employee who said they had been adding complexes for 50 years. The weird thing was everyone we talked to was happy working there and it showed. But the walking on the concrete has my feet and back aching and the 6 hours in the car didn't help them either. Plus my repaired shoulder is aching me like a tooth ache from driving. I asked my PT therapist if he had any suggestions for how to get it settled down again and his smart a**ed answer was yeah, quit driving 300+ miles in a day.

So how is Tom doing and how are you handling the prospect of surgery?

She also mentioned they don't drug test there anymore. I told Nancy this and she said"Oh, I guess that's why they didn't test me last year."

I can’t believe a state run program hiring home health aides not drug screening. That’s terrible.

Glad to hear you and DH are doing well. Sorry about losing your cat.
