Granny's gone and done it again

Back from Ortho, DH R knee is bone on bone but he can't be approved for a knee replacement this year because of other health issues. Got him scheduled for more therapy, pain management and a shot as soon as the 3 months since the last shot are up. Last Dr didn't do X-ray guided and the shot didn't help.
 
My BIL had a sudden episode on Tuesday, and had to be shocked back to life over 10 times. He had not been diagnosed with any problem, and always seemed healthy and happy! His wife found him collapsed in the garage, and he was rushed to hospital. Doctors seem unsure why it happened. He has not become conscious since then. It's heartbreaking!
You mean they don't know if he had a stroke or a heart attack? I'm so sorry this happened. :hugs

Morning all, My life sucks. Drs. appt. in Vevey at 11:40 (45 min, ride) Home to pick Robert up then off to Ky. All on a knee that is screaming bloody murder and a bladder that makes me cry. Dr. told me I didn't have to come in every time but she isn't there today. They wrote for me to go see urology but its too far away. KY. again.
Its just a little skin right?
Poor Granny! No way I could do what you do, in the pain you're in. You are amazing. But I'm so sorry you're suffering like this. Sure hope somebody can do SOMETHING for you, "and that right quick!"
 
My Sammy dog (Sheltie) is in the ER waiting to be sedated for "a procedure." The big dummy was chewing on a stick earlier (this is Ryder's fault, he taught them to do this and we live in a freakin' FOREST!) and Melissa noticed he was "struggling." To breathe, apparently. Guess he tried to swallow a piece and it didn't cooperate. I tried sticking my fingers down his throat to see if I could retrieve anything, but he wasn't having any part of that. Since I value my fingers I just had Melissa leash him up and pop him in the car, and off to the vet. He's to have an x-ray which may show nothing ($220) and a sedated down-the-throat exam. I hope they find something, I don't want anything sharp going down and puncturing his guts ($$$urgery! :eek:) I don't always think in economical terms, but it is a factor. Dang, if it isn't cars or appliances, it's pets ... silly dog, sticks are for ... kids! Goat kids. And we don't have any. 🙄

They don't know what happened, even though they have done a bunch of imaging.
