Bailey and Friends

Hi Addy-

I thought the ribs were better.....but this is too much pain. I'm on the road tomorrow, but I think I'll call my doc to get Rx for x Ray.

I hope your week is going well.

Love,
Sus

Good idea for the x ray. It may be they are not cracked but badly bruised. Can you take Advil types of meds for pain?

They told me advil every 6-8 hours for pain and apply ice; boy when the ice and advil wore off, it hurt a lot.

Takes about six weeks to heal. My mom cracked hers last summer, she took tylenol.

Feel better Sus

sending BEAR HUGS:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

SIX WEEKS????!!!!!!
Well-I felt much better today, so I nixed the xray request. Yes-Aleve works well for me. I just don't think about taking it. Silly me. :o:o

Went to NJ today to meet a 3rd opinion orthopedic surgeon. It's a 2 1/2 hour drive, but I like him. He has RXd a pain medication patch for the left big toe....and said do not let anyone open that up. It doesn't need it.

For the right toe (#2) we're going with orthotics, so I have to return next Tuesday so their orthotic specialist can do his thing. Then, of course, there will need to be another trip to pick them up.

Meanwhile doc #2s office has already ordered orthotics. There is no way to cancel those, so I'll just go and get them whenever they are ready. I'm going to make like I did not get a 3rd opinion.:p It's a long way to go to NJ, but I get to take a ferry ride!:D

Long, long day. I'm doing way too much driving!! I miss sleeping in.:D

Love,
Sus

Ferry rides are fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D:D:D

I sure hope the boots do the trick. Do they come in pretty colors for Summer? I miss wearing pretty shoes. My feet are the typical mess from wearing shoes that do not fit and too many high heels. Now I wear flat Clark shoes. I miss pretty little high heeled shoes RED ONES:D:D:D:D:D

How is Bailey? I hope she is doing well.

Have a wonderful day
love
addy

Orthotics are inserts for inside the shoes. I think they come in white, sometimes gray, but you don't get to choose.....it depends on the manufacturer.

Any chance your favorite color is RED??

Ribs are back to hurting today.:(...so I guess I'll call the doc in the AM and see about an xray. I don't know that they can do anything for split ribs anyway.:confused:

Bailey is wonderful. :):) She is soooooooooooooooooooooo wanting to run. She's going to need to start off with walking. She has lost a lot of the strength in her back legs. We were just sitting out front on the porch, enjoying the breezes. I got a close look at her right leg and now that the hair has grown some, you can't tell where the incision is. I am SOOOOO glad her hair is filling in. :) She looked like she had a bad poodle cut! :eek::eek::eek:

One more day gal.....and then the weekend!~

Love,
Sus

yes, red and yellow with touches of blue:D:D:D:D:D:D

okay, I understand, inserts not boots:o:o:o which is really good because how are you wearing boots in the summer or to VEGAS?;)

nothing they can do for ribs, just time it takes to heal and ice and nsaids or tylenol.

a pain in the rib is a pain in @#$!:D:D:eek::eek:

love ya,
addy

Had an xray today-won't know anything before Monday. How helpful is THAT?????!!!!:mad::mad:

If this (or these) rib(s) aren't broken I will be amazed. Today has been the worst day yet. I am now keeping a heating pad on them, on low heat. That seems to help.

I made a HUGE mistake and spread mulch at the entrance gardens. That's what has gone wrong. I won't make that mistake again.............ever!:eek::o:p:(

Have a WONderful Satidday!

Love,
Sus (OUCH)

Dear Susan Ouch:D:D:D;););)

It will get better, just takes time.

Happy Saturday!!!! Do you have plans for Mom Day? I am having everyone here tomorrow so hubby and I are celebrating today as my mom day. Its raining and I had hoped to plant my window boxes. It is our Mom Day tradition.

No more spreading mulch with cracked ribs:eek::eek::eek::eek:
you remind me of me;););););)

anyway, I hope you have a wonderful weekend, enjoy it and I hope the sun is shining down on you.

love,
addy

Happy Saturday!!!!

I should be finishing up getting my reports in to my manager, but....I wanted to stop in!!!:p

Please take care of yourself and let yourself healing!!!! THAT IS AN ORDER FROM HEADQUARTERS!!!!!:D

I am so glad Miss Bailey is getting her fur/hair back so her battle scars will not show. How many more weeks till run time??? :D

Have a Happy Mother's Day!!! Do we get to get out of the non-basement to celebrate????:D;)

Hello Addy and Marie Irene!!

Happy, happy Mother's day to you both!!!

PLEASE come out of the nonbasement!!!!! I'll call the surfer dudes, Wally and his girlfriend (didn't he have a girlfriend?) and we'll eat cake and ice cream and pecan pie ALL DAY LONG!!!:D:D:p:)

Addy-Indeed the sun shined today. You could not have asked for a better day. :):) Tomorrow is supposed to be 1/2 and 1/2.

Ryan is here and the three of us went out to dinner. Absolutely horrible service.....it was an hour before we got out meal......and then she did not have them right. But I had prime rib and it was very good. It was 8oz according to the menu and it was at least that. That gave me about 4 oz to bring home to my patient. (NOT to be given all at once!)

I hope you are both waited on hand and foot (what the heck does that saying mean?):confused: I hope any children you have, even the ones you might have but not know about (Oh! Wait!!! That only happens to the male of the species.) ;) How could we EVER forget giving birth!!

HUGS and HUGS....and love,
Sus/susan
