Sharlene:
You are one of the main soldiers in this fight so we can't have you coming down with anything!. Please take care of yourself and Molly. That was terrible about eh mold and the inhalers. That stuff can do bad things to your body. I have seen on the news many people sickened form the black mold that grow in wet spots in you walls etc. and is never detected until a leak or something wet shows. It is in the teens do no walking right now here. Glad her Royal Highness is ok after that tumble. Blessings

Hi all,
Well the rest did me good, because I woke up feeling better than I have all week. I'm guessing it never got to full infection status, or I would have needed antibiotics. Instead I drank a lake worth of water, and it seems to have gotten cleared out. Also I slept on my other side last night. It's very weird and part of what they try to figure out, is that if I turn my head to my left side, then all my sinus's drain to the left and nose blocks up on that side, turn it and lay on my right and it all moves to that direction. Crazy eh, but they can't find out Why it does that as all the pathways look normal. Oh well, I just have to be different. :)
The Diva is doing here thing. The night it happened I checked to make sure there wasn't any joint issues and then gave it a good massage. She was running around like normal this morning and the sidewalks are cleared so she had a good walk this morning. I even let her out without her coat on, and of course like Barbara was busted immediately by a neighbor saying, where is molly's coat!! ROFL!
Will be off to do some shopping today now that I feel better and then to a bday party tonight. Gads I have to get a donation ready for pick up by Diabetes Association Monday too. Can't forget that! I love that they call and then you just put anything you want donated out and they pick it up. Several associations do that here and it works out well for everyone concerned. They earn money and I get things cleared out. Sometimes I do truck loads over to Good Will too, especially during the holidays. Then I have a food donation to get together for food bank. I'll do that through my local grocery, who will be doing the deliveries to the food bank. Several other programs I want to get things ready for too, including our local humane society. I wish that Molly would be better about letting me bring home fosters but as she has gotten older she has become very territorial and I think at this point, she would be more traumatizing to them. So, I have to do what I can in other ways now. Anyway, as you can tell, that is where my mind is focused today. :)
Cold here today too Patti. We just had the garage door people out to replace springs that broke on Thursday. (couldn't get the door up and down YIKES, my car was inside, of course! LOL)
Love and Hugs to all!
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Hi Everyone:
It has warmed up and Tipper got to walk finally. She was like a bucking bronco out the door she was so happy. There are some places along the side of the roads that have no ice so I made sure she walked there and Toby followed her. I have to go Wednesday to the hospital for my scan about this stone so I am going to the grocery to get some things needed for the new diet Tipper will be on. I am hopeful that this will help her body fight this disease. She is taking a rest now after that walk, and has that new ball of Toby's tucked under her paw, just so she can annoy him. I think I am going to skip tonites dose of trilostane and give her the 27mg altogether in the morning. It's worth a try, and she has had 30 before this so I know 27 will be ok. I am cooking her some veggies now so I can bulk up her food a bit without the calories. Maybe both of these things will change the tide who knows? Blessings

Re: Molly, 10 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
Pleased to hear your sinuses have not got worse Sharlene, water, such a miracle drug eh!! Cheap too :D:D
You sound like you have a full on day, shopping... with these bills lately I am thankful my family does a secret santa so I only have to buy one pressie although I will be getting something nice for Mum and Dad as they do so much for Flynny and me! Thanking my lucky stars it is payday this Thursday!
That's a good idea packing everything up for charities, I like that idea and must do something similar! Your a good person Sharlene so I am wishing you a most successful shopping expedition and hope you don't end up in a queue as long as Kathy's the other day :eek::eek: xx
Re: Molly, 10 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis

Re: Molly, 10 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
Rest helps everything Sharlene.
I was awake until 7:18 this morning, I just couldn't get comfortable. After the furlets were taken care of, I went back to bed for a little while.
'Tis the season for colds etc.
Re: Molly, 10 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
the nasal water spray works wonders for me if I use it like a netti pot and then spritz 5 times a day:):):):) Of course then people look at you funny - walking around spritzing your nose all day:rolleyes::rolleyes: But it does work:D:D:D:D
Re: Molly, 10 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
I know lots of folks use them, but Neti Pots give me the hibbie gibbies!
