Just a short post of thanks

This is just gonna be a short post -- mum has been suffering from a headache caused by a muscle spasm in her neck!!!!  Her eyes are getting better -- bruising around the eyes is fading so she hopes we can go out tomorrow.  My leg is not hurting and I am not limping.  I still sometimes give her a problem taking my meds!!!!!  We have no more turkey; I ate the cheese and spat out the pills; when she gave me one of those "Jif on the Go" tubs of peanut butter, I ate the peanut butter and spat out the pills AGAIN, bol.  When she gives me the peanut butter on a spoon with the pills stuck in then I do NOT spit out the pills.  I guess I just like to give mum a hard time, bol.  Anyway, mum placed a biiiiig order from Chewy -- among other things she ordered the pill pods for me.  I hope I like them!!

Mum and I wantto thank everyone for the donations and thoughts on my valley fever.  Right now I have anti-fungal meds which are VERY expensive.  The vet kindly gave us for information on a compounding pharmacy in Phoenix where they will fill and send by mail.  I do not have to see the dogtor for 3 months.  Mum thinks that some readers may have misunderstood her comment about not wanting to give me up.  What she meant was that when the dogtor told us that it was either  Valley Fever or a tumor, mum remembered Cody's tumor and the fact that some tumors are either inoperable (like Cody's was) or really, really expensive.  She has promised me that we will treat the Valley Fever as long as necessary and hopefully with the GofundMe donations she will be able to continue to keep up the treatment.

If anyone has any questions, please feel free to contact me at mum's e-mail:  jskhackney23@hotmail.com and we will answer them for you.

Again -- could someone PLEASE help mum figure out how to put the GoFundMe link on the side of my post so that it is there all the time.  Abby Lab's mum (The Book of Barklay) also has it on her blog, but we would luve to have it on my blog.

Thanks to everyone who has donated (mum will be thanking everyone individually when she is up to it -- hopefully soon -- she is having the stitches out on Wednesday!!

Thanks again to all my bloggy buddies.

ps:  I k ow it is early, but I was wondering if anyone is planning on coming to Blog Paws in Phoenix in June.  If a few of us go, maybe we can set our own mini Retreat.  Let me know.

cookie's go fund me

OK--Now that we have the GoFundMe on the blog -- how do we get it onto the side of the blog so that it will stay there????????

Another update

Cookie's Mum here:

I finally figured out how to get Cookie to take her meds!!!  I wrap it in a slice of turkey -- it goes down like a dream!!!

I have set up a GoFundMe following the directions on the site, but cannot figure out how to attach it to the blog!!!!  Can anyone help me.

Thanks for all your good wishes and POTP

UPDATE

Cookie's mum here:

I just got a call from Cookie's vet -- Cookie definitely has Valley Fever in the bone -- which is better than a tumor, but very expensive.

Could someone please help to to set up a Go Fund Me to help me cover the costs for the medication and vet bills.  I would really appreciate any help I can get.

My e-mail is jskhackney23@hotmail.com.

Thanks all from me and Cookie.

Still on the Sick List

Just a quickie post to say that mum and I really appreciate all your good wishes and POTP.  It really makes us feel good to know that so many of the residents of Blogville are thinking of us.

I will try to get mum to take a selfie -- her eyes are a bit better now, but she still has two black eyes!!!

My leg is a bit better.  I am giving mum a really hard time about taking the Tramadol -- I like the Rimadyl tho!!!!

I will try to post again tomorrow.

Again thanks so much for all your well wishes and POTP

Mum and Me are both on Sick List

I am on medication that is making me sleepy so I will let mum tell you about it.

Cookie's Mum here:

I had surgery on my eyelids yesterday.  It is a residual from the eye injury I had back in December 2013.  It is not very painful -- just uncomfortable.  I could not close my eyes properly last night, but now I am able to!!  But I have two black eyes, and it looks horrible!!

Anyway, Cookie has been limping a bit from time to time, but yesterday she was limping more and this morning could barely put her paw down.  I took her to the vet, and $550 later, we STILL are not sure what is wrong.  The vet took x-rays and said it is her left shoulder, and she is not sure if it is valley fever (which is very prevalent here in Arizona) or a tumor.  She took a blood sample and gave Cookie Rymadil and Tramidol!! Cookie's prescriptions cost more than the ones I had to get this morning.  If I had had a car, I would have gone to my pharmacy, but it was too far for Cookie to walk.  The vet is just around the corner.  *sigh* now I have MORE expenses!!!

I will keep you posted, but please POTP for her.

Thanks

WHERE I HAVE A LOOOOONG TALK WITH MUM

I sat mum down this morning and gave her a talking to because she had not been keeping up with posting on my blog.  This is the result!!!!

Mum has been reading (and occasionally commenting) her favorite blogs, but even that has been a bit sporadic.  She has been looking a little down in the mouth, and when I try to find out what is wrong, she cannot tell me.  I think part of it is she is really getting worried about finding a lawyer.  If she does not get things going by the beginning of December, the statute of limitations will be over.  A lot of the lawyers she has spoken to have given that as a reason for not taking on the case -- not enuf time to really prepare!!!!  She is also having surgery to correct her droopy eyelid on Thursday and although that is not major, it is not gonna be fun.  She went last week for her post-op surgery and the nurse practitioner told her that it was healing very well (at least one thing seems to be going right).  She has to have a CT scan on Wednesday because of the possibility of her lapband having migrated!!

Aside from all that ..........  We are still waiting of my training to start.  Hopefully, now that the weather is cooling off a little, we will get started soon.

 

 

Even though this picture was taken a couple of weeks ago -- Krista is still getting almost as big piles of my floof when she brushes me!!!  I think I have told you how much I luvs Krista -- I always give her lots of kisses.  she also has a very cute 5 year old daughter --I luvs her too.  When she comes over next time, I will bug mum to take Kathrines picture!!!

 

Well, I don't wanna bore you any more.  Hopefully some more exciting stuff will start happening soon and mum will feel more up to taking pics.

 

Take care all
