Jean in Newcastle Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Neko was in a lot of pain tonight. I think that his hips were out? But the vet has checked them more than once and can't find anything wrong. But I think that I will need to see if I can get him into the vet tomorrow - right when vets are slammed and don't have enough staff or appointment times. . . . 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) Morning. Oldest dd was on a business trip in Virginia and came home last night. Her first flight was delayed, she got a later flight going to the wrong airport (but only 10 miles from the right airport). She called me in the middle of the night when she got in because the shuttles weren't running, texted when she got to her car (parking garage) and was supposed to text when she got home but hasn't. She should have gotten home about 2am, I called and her phone went right to voice mail. Odds are good that she just got home and forgot to text and went to sleep. But of course I'm going to worry until I hear from her. If I didn't have camp, I'd be driving up to check on her.

Junie Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Oh, I just remembered something I need to do -- switch out my purse. My purse that I love had a strap break. I'm not sure if it can be repaired, but I need to take all of the stuff out of it so that dd16 can take a look at it. It's a lovely, simple black Banana Republic tote/purse that I bought at a yard sale over a decade ago -- for $1. It was definitely a dollar well spent. :) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I heard from dd. She ended up going to her boyfriends house and going right to sleep. He lives about halfway between the airport and her apartment, so it was a shorter trip and she could get to sleep faster. Her battery was dead after almost 18 hours in airports and on planes. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Neko update. Dh (who is a human RN but still does have some insight into animal anatomy) says that his hips go out of socket. I don't know that there is anything to do for him short of surgery. But Google says that anti-inflammatories etc. might help. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had two cats with hip pain. One of them was from a vertebral fracture in her kittenhood that caused her hips to more or less drop. The other was likely dysplasia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Good morning! Happy Friday the 13th! It's been a very rocky week. There will be more rocky-ness. But I slept for a few hours last night (yay melatonin) and am feeling almost normal and relatively sane. Dh is still critical but stable at this point. I have discovered the joys of dealing with a corporate benefits company. So much "what is going on here?" with that. We are being well cared for by our community and the love and prayers from you all and others. I appreciate it so much! Some friends have offered to pick up The Youngers and bring them to the pool for a while this afternoon, and Dd18 has convocation ceremony tonight, which should be very nice.

Junie Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Good Morning! Happy Friday (the 13th). Today got a late start. I woke up early enough, but I wasn't quite ready to get up. So, I stayed in bed and prayed for Susan's dh. I fell asleep while praying and dreamed of Susan and her family. My dh and I travelled to go meet up with Susan and her kids while her dh is in the hospital. Things started to get a little bit weird. I went to give Susan a hug, but instead of a person, she was a book. :) (No, I don't remember what book. Yes, I hugged Book Susan.) Her kids were playing guitar (I think -- some stringed instrument without a bow) and baking items to have a bake sale to pay for their dad's medical treatment. 3 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
