Howdy all!! I had a free moment so I figured I'd stop by and say hi! So... Hi!
Not much new here except work work and more work. Blah! I've been pretty occupied with a million projects but most of all my poor little Labrador lady has taken a turn for the worst. Not sure if you guys remember me talking about Natala and her hip and back problems but after I noticed she had a hard time going to the bathroom I took her in for x-rays. I wasn't suprised at how bad her hips and back were but her pelvis appeared to have been broken in the past(before I adopted her) and she was full of crap! Her dr. said she has no feeling in her bowls anymore, hence why she couldn't go.
Now she has to take a high dose of prednisone to help her go and move around. She seems to be doing ok with the pred but she cannot stay on the dose she is on for long and I'm worried a lower dose won't help her as much. The real knock in the head is that her dr doesn't know where she'll be in a year from now. **choke** I'm committed to giving her the best quality of life for as long as I can till it's time but... hopefully that won't be for a while.
There's so many new names around here I feel like a stranger! I am going to try to pop in more often so I can meet the newer members and get back in touch with the older ones.
I'm looking at all the new posts since the last time I was here and I have a lot of reading ahead of me. :O
Thanks for reading through my rant. Take care guys, it's great to be back.
