Did Molly get a new Easter dress and bonnet? :D
Hi gang.
I did have a great time at the pub with my friends and I basically took yesterday to just regroup, hang with Molly, read a book and nap a lot.
There isn't anything to do till all the test results are back so for now we relax and wait. I think I was in shock with all the different things the other day. Now I just need data.
Molly by the way does react to ACTH tests. No accidents but she drinks more water. Wants more treats especially. Still will leave food in her bowl though. But the main thing is she is non stop energy. Just go go go all the time. She literally seems to bounce all the time. She doesn't normally do that. She plays sometimes and she naps a lot of the time. So she can't have cortisol running through her body at this rate all the time or we would see the typical Cushing symptoms. I can believe though that now with both adrenal glands being bilaterally large that they hold a lot of cortisol in reserve. I bet she feels REAL good the last couple days.
Today we shop for Easter dinner. We decided on a salmon and a Ham.
Here is my hubby's thought..... Hey are there any pink vegetables. We could do all pink food. My response.... BLINK. Huh?
Hugs

LOL re: the pink Easter dinner!! ;) :p :p :p :p
Warning: Don't read any further if you want to keep the drawer closed through the weekend...!
[But I'm still thinking over my maintenance Lyso idea and kinda liking it if it turns out that hormone-lowering treatment is in order. I'm glad your IMS is paying attention to the proteinuria, because depending on persistence and the assumed cause, it may end up being the deal-breaker. Here's a quote from Dr. Peterson from somewhere (can't find the source):
It still seems to me as though maintenance Lyso might have a lot of pluses and not so many negatives. Just sayin...! ;)]Quote:
I am not a proponent of treating dogs with asymtomatic Cushing's disease, unless they have secondary hypertension or proteinuria.
That drawer is a pesky thing, keeps coming open. I want to find some time to go back over all Molly's urinalysis results and check what the protein has been doing. I remember the IMS on the phone Thursday saying historically it didn't look like molly had been consistent with higher protein, but I'd like to see where the numbers are at on that. It might help to some extent to figure things out. I think the IMS is like the rest of us, just trying to figure out the Molly mystery.
Molly doesn't have a new bonnet and all she wants to do is throw the Easter basket around, don't think she'd be very good at Easter egg hunting either. LOL That reminds me, last year or the year before, hubby decided I needed an Easter Egg hunt, but it was cold and raining outside, so he hid chocolate Easter eggs all over the house and a bunch of us had a hunt. It was a fun surprise to wake up to.
Thanks Marianne,

Hi Sharlene:
You are getting like me, you can't keep that darn drawer shut! I am sure you will get this protein figured out. That is cute about the Easter egg hunt inside, you have a keeper hubby! When you are on the case it will get solved! Blessing

I just want to wish everyone a wonderful Easter weekend, may all of you and your furbabies and families be safe and happy.
hugs

You as well, Sharlene, I stopped by to wish you and Molly and your family, the very same thing. Sometimes it is hard to keep that dang drawer shut, I know only too well. :o I think you are very wise to wait for all the reports to come in. It is not like you have to rush into a decision.
Hope dinner is more than pink:D:D:D:D:D:D
Happy Easter to you, hubs and off course the Diva Molly x
Ohhh a pink dinner, hmmmm I could think of loads if we could stretch that out to include reds and purples.. close enough?? :D
Whatever you cook will be divine, I always end up with my mouth watering after reading about your celebration meals!! So far, mine is my old standby pork belly and chocolate cake for dessert as per my sisters request. Oh and for the vegetarians, baked stuffed mushrooms. Just have to come up with a few other bits and pieces... I also have a steamed pudding in the freezer that is delish, but actually think cake might be enough with the chocolate eggs we will have on hand!
I will buy Flynn a nice piece of fresh fish. :D
Wishing you and hubs and Molly and all the family a lovely time!! x
I know exactly what your going through Sharlene I spent hours awake searching and researching when Snug was diagnosed with a pheo, I was obsessed. There is so little info on it I kept thinking I am going to find something besides that frightening surgery, but I never did except some clinical trials with some meds that didn't pan out well.
To this day I search for something new, hoping and praying.
But as you know I got myself so run down from stress and not sleeping that I got hit hard with that virus. So please take care of yourself for your sake and Molly's.
I laughed out loud at the pink veggies LOL
Have a Happy Healthy and Safe Easter to you Molly your hubby and entire family!
