A Minute Can Change Your Life

Well I went to the JGH today to see Dr. Baron my rheumatologist.. he checked me over.. sent me for blood work.. he thinks that maybe I have lupus.. he put me back on the Lyrica 300mg. and something called Dilaudid for pain management.. I also have to go for another EMG test ASAP

Oh Joy...

Bailey R.I.P.

Photobucket

A last entry for Bailey's foster diary.

Monday my foster Mom just installed dogwatch fencing at her new home in Gananoque. Inspite of my challenges she had arranged to keep me while spending half time in Ottawa and half in Kingston/Gananoque. Unfortunately I won't be using that yard. I passed peacefully in Sherry's arms earlier today. After returning Friday's breakfast I stopped eating and x-rays showed a large quantity of liquid in my abdominal cavity that was largely blood with a very low white cell count.

Perhaps when Sherry has had a chance to morn my passing some other needy dog will get to use my yard.

Gabby R.I.P.

Photobucket

.. Monday Gabby suffered several seizures.. she went to the vet and they kept her there taking various tests.. on an IV drip.. she showed little improvement wednesday.. today she was much worse.. she had a very hard life before coming here living outdoors under a truck for 6 years no matter the weather.. bred ...I was mad as a hatter when I was told of Gabby and her mate Samson.. but the last few weeks she knew what it felt like to be loved and cared for by two great fosters now Samson has lost his mate.. Gabby will be sadly missed..

Been A Tough Few Weeks For Me

.. I have been dealing with rheumatoid arthritis for many many years and have it for the most part under control... although you never really have it under control as it can flair up at any time.. I woke up recently unable to feel my lower legs.. I have been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy.. Its going to take time I'm told to get this under control so please bear with me if I'm not writing daily..but know BHRQ really really needs fosters .. while I'm recovering
