Well, well, well....the docs office just called with the latest test results. I have MONO! I'm on the tale end of it but that is what has been wrong with me all this time! I started feeling bad in late Spring 3013 so it has been almost a year. :eek: He said there is nothing to do but treat the symptoms and if they get worse, to give him a call. My word....that never entered my mind!
hmm, the kissing disease eh. :eek: <---that Should come with wiggly eyebrows.
Well, that makes sense as to why you are so tired and run down feeling. That is exactly what it does. I've had friends with it.
surprise, surprise, surprise (love gomer pyle)
take care,
hugs,

And, a Happy Belated Birthday to Squirtie! God Bless her!

I am sorry to hear that you have mono. A friend of mine had that and every once and a while it comes back. She is easily tired out and not feeling well most of the time. I hope this is not the case with you as you have babies to care for. Hoping your weather is better than ours. Blessings

Squirt stinks. She must have a bath. But I'm not quite sure how to pull this off. I don't her want to get stressed and hurt herself. I lay here last nite and tried to figure out a way to get her cleaned up and think I'm gonna fill my bathtub, which is quite large, with warm water and let her swim in it for a minute. Then, I may put the laundry basket in the tub of water, upside down, so there is a platform for her to stand on. With the basket surrounded by water, she may stand still so I can lather and rinse.
She is slower this week than she has been, seeming to tire more easily. She's also been laying in front of the heater in the mornings when I turn it on in the bathroom which is not at all like her - she's hot-natured like her mom, was even before the Cushing's showed up. :D I noticed yesterday that she was doing a whole lot of squatting outside with very little output...just a drop or two most of the time. I didn't know if it is her mind telling her she needs to pee when she doesn't or if something else was happening now. I left her inside yesterday afternoon and evening so I could get a better idea and she peed BIG on the carpet. :rolleyes: It was a nice yellow color so I feel better about that.
We are on a month's sabbatical from the Novifit and I am watching her closely for strengthening of the CCD signs. She's a bit more restless at night but not overly so. And thankfully no signs of those awful terrors.
We are pet-sitting for 3 pups for a week starting this evening, too. I've had two of them before but one is new. That will make NINE dogs in my house! I may end up snagging some of Squirt's Valium before this is over with! :p
Wow...nine dogs, you will have quite a crowd. Hope the bath goes well and maybe it will end up being pleasant for Squirt once she gets in the warm water. I heat the towels in the dryer when I bathe Trixie...4 star service just like a fine hotel! :D She doesn't like the bath but will tolerate it. I think she actually enjoys the feeling of the warm towel at the end though...she kind of purrs when I'm drying her with it.
Glad Squirt had a nice puddle and yellow too, even though on the rug...funny what can make Cushings parents happy! Happy to hear she has not been having terrors at night anymore.

Well, just because an idea seems viable in the cold dark hours don't necessarily mean it will translate well into fact in the bright light. :p
She's bathed, the bathroom and I are as wet as she is and the laundry basket was a joke as was the tote (it actually floated! duh). Like it or not, next time she needs a bath she goes somewhere to have it done! She and I both will be down in a few hours from the fight. :rolleyes:
Always interesting when it comes to bath time. Molly Hates the process of bathing, seems to like being dried though (I'll have to try the dryer warming with the towels) and then runs around like a crazy thing when it's all over with.
Make sure we get potty break in before bath starts and then she has a nap later when it's all over with.
Lordy 9!!! You brave soul. I'd be stepping on dogs at that rate. hahaha
Good luck, stay strong!

So stopping by to tell you the surgeon said that I am experiencing a tight shoulder capsule which he felt was normal from my fracture and that I need to keep working hard to losen things up ( translate more PT )
So I looked it up and apparently the shoulder capsul can be come tight (borderline frozen shoulder) and it will affect the muscles, tendons and nerves surrounding the shoulder joint.
So if some of the exercises you are doing hurt that may be why. I cannot reach behind my back without severe pain, certaiin joint rotations hurt like heck because of the tight capsul. Some of the stretches hurt in the beginning so now I do them very slowly and it is better.
I hope you recover from Squirt's bath. I was going to mail you a bottle of waterless shampoo I never used.:D:D:D:D:D
Yeah! That's what it feels like for me too! At first I could reach almost to my shoulder blades and now can't reach my waist! I have slowed down on the exercises and doing only the ones that don't hurt right now. If it's not better next week, I'll be back at the docs. :rolleyes:
