Had a Christmas miracle of sorts. Kids no more than finished opening presents and DW got a call her oldest sister collapsed at work and was rushed to ER with a stroke. They didn't give her much of a chance at first and were taking her into surgery to remove a clot. Then came out and said no surgery was needed, paramedics gave her a blood clot busting drug and it dissolved just before the surgery. She's going to be OK, everything works somewhat, but her speech is confusing. Lucky it didn't happen at home or when she was driving, and lucky the paramedics knew what to do, all ours are volunteers.

Morning all. @Beer can, sorry to hear about your sil but glad she got tPA. I had a cousin who stroked while driving. She was on the interstate with her son in the car with her and he managed to get her foot off the accelerator and steer the car to the shoulder of the road and into a ditch. Of course she didn't get the drug right away and the damage was pretty substantial so yes, your sil definitely had a guardian angel watching over her.

We have a doggie wheelchair for Dingo. The problem with him is that HE doesn't think he needs it so he is fighting it. When he goes in a straight line he does okay but he doesn't like not having the mobility to turn sharp turns and keeps rolling it and him with it. He's a big guy, maybe 65 pounds right now so getting him upright is a bit of a problem. Once upright he won't move any longer.

The little cart in the video would maybe work for him in the house. The problem is that Dingo doesn't realize he is disabled. Two nights ago he dragged DH over some large ornamental rocks that we have near our back deck. He used to climb them like a goat before he got sick and now still thinks he can. Stubborn, stubborn stubborn dog.
