Well, we finally got Blondie home about 7pm. Luckily when we got to the Dr. Parham’s office a specialist, a veterinary surgeon was there. We lucked out. He was there for another surgery so we didn’t have to pay extra to call him in. When he examined her thigh he called it “quite a wound”. It was awful. When they began to explore it before surgery, Doug had to leave the room. However, all’s well that ends well. She’s home now, loaded up with antibiotics. (Of course the rest of her pack wants to come and say hi, but she’s in no mood for that at this point). After we eat something, she and I are going to my room for the rest of the night to chill. Doug’s going back Walgreen’s to get her amoxicillin. It’s only $4 there vs.$32 at the vet. I ‘m hoping she’ll start feeling better by tomorrow. We saw Nate and Amanda on the way home.
Post surgery
I spoke to mom today. She sounded a little better to me. However, she said she still felt bad. Apparently a whole herd of different docs had been in to see her, including an oncologist. Hopefully, I’ll be able to get the straight poop on what’s going on with her from her primary physician tomorrow. I’m keeping my fingers crossed. However I’m afraid it won’t do much good. We’ll see.
Evelyn really stepped up again today to help me out. I cursed, then I cried out of frustration and she just patiently listened. What a fabulous friend! She kept me from whacking Doug in the head with my big cast iron skillet. (He promised me that our fence would be dog-proof, that is dog-escape proof, months ago). He knew I was PO’d this morning. We didn’t even have to speak about it; One of the perks of being together since God was a child I guess.
I’ve had my fill of drama today. I’m exhausted. I’m looking forward to something funny tomorrow. For as Scarlett always says “Tomorrow is another day.” Maybe I’ll go find my hoop skirt, fix a mint julep and sit on the veranda. BTW- I’m planning to be back from my trip to Crazyland in the morning.
Hi Michele,
I’m so sorry for taking so long to get back to you and check out your blog. :) This and that and just a bunch of ‘stuff’ has kept me out of the blogging loop this week.
Anyway. I thought I would stop over and check out your blog and say hello. I love the color scheme of your theme. It’s very bright, but also very calming – which is good for us old folks surfing the web. ;)
Are you planning on keeping this as a personal blog or were you considering a niche’ type approach?
I have several blogs and want one where I can just ramble if I want to. With my Magnolia Diaries and Perimenopause Blog, there is a target audience, so the posts are written to the audience. That’s fun too, but sometimes it feels like a job instead of just a good place to spill verbage. :)
So, just wanted to say hello and tell you that your blog looks really nice!
Magnolia
Hi Magnolia. I’m glad you like the color. Teal is my absolute favorite color. I’m afraid you caught me on a really off day. The fates conspired and it just sucked big time. Luckily, today was light years better. If it hadn’t been, I’d probably been crossing the street without looking while running with scissors by now. Anyway, please come and visit anytime. I love it when fellow bloggers stop by.
Well, I hope things are looking up for you today. :)
Hi Magnolia. Things are better now. Doug left for Dallas yesterday so I’m here alone with our pack. Evelyn came by and we took our dogs to dog park, my favorite place in the world. Mom’s still in the hospital though, so that’s still a concern. Thanks so much for checking in with me. That’s so sweet.
