I’m Back!
I am seriously going to try to start posting something every day. I don’t have anyone to vent/talk to about my day/life when I get home from work, so here it is. =) It seems this day and age nobody has time to talk on the phone anymore. It is weird to me. I really despise that our world is becoming less social. It is healthy to talk about it and not keep it inside to fester. It helps that I get internet at home again too. LOL!
Got the call from the vet this morning about Baxter’s bloodwork. He has been having seizures too, just not as severe nor frequent as Mia’s and is not currently on medication. We wanted to do the full bloodwork on him as a precaution to make sure nothing else is going on. Well his calcium is elevated slightly. That means it could be an indicator of kidney disease, cancer, his parathyroid is out of whack, or a fluke thing. Retesting him in about 6 weeks to double check. His thyroid level came back low, so now he must go on medication for that. It also explains his rapid weight loss over the last year. He was up to 98 lbs and that was too high for his frame. So I cut him back a 1/2 cup as the vet suggested and he is now down to 58 lbs. I am thankful it is nothing more serious since he isn’t that old. He is 6 and Mia is 10. So, now his little piece of complimentary bread will have a pill in it just like Mia’s (2). Oi vey! Just me and my dogs I tell ya. I gotta get to the vet’s by 2 to pick up his meds.
Went to the dentist for my second filling on tuesday and my jaw is still tender. Not nearly as bad as it was on wednesday, but it is still bothering me since I didn’t have any of this with the first filling a couple weeks back. If it is still sore on Monday, I am calling her back. I called on wednesday and she said if it still hurt as bad on friday to call back but I was swamped at work yesterday and didn’t have the time to call not to mention go in, so monday it is. I still need to call the surgeon that did my tumor removal and have him request a ct scan for my other side that is hurting since the insurance company denied my doctor’s request for it.
With all these bills I am going to have to get a 3rd job to stay afloat here. I have been really strapped with things for going on a year now. In October I got my 2nd job at Bath & Body Works and that helps, but not much when it is only 3-8 hours a week. My lease is up 8-31-08 and my friend and I may get a place together to help each other out. I would feel pretty comfortable with her and for sure can trust her so I really don’t have any worries. She isn’t a partier, so I won’t have to worry about that. She has 2 cats and loves dogs, so I don’t have to worry about that either. We will see.
I didn’t get scheduled at the store today, so I am thinking of going over to my mom’s and sitting in the sun for a couple hours. That is about as much as I can stand and it is close enough. My baby sister was going to take me out for lunch/dinner for an early birthday treat, but she fell down go boom! =( Sprained her ankle (driving foot) is on crutches and should stay off it. I was looking forward to time with her again, but I completely understand and want her to get all better. We went to Ikea last weekend to window shop. She got a couple things. I just enjoyed the time with her. =)
My birthday is thursday and it feels weird to me. It doesn’t feel like my birthday is here. I dunno. Was supposed to go camping for the weekend, but now I am not going to be able to since I just had to put a good chunk of money down at the vet’s office towards $300 in charges. Oh well…they are my life right now.
Ok, well that is all for now. Hope all is well in your worlds and you are enjoying summer! =)
