Jean in Newcastle Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 The 14 oz. Corelle are short and fat. I can drink that much smoothie, but they go in cups with lids. 14 oz. of a smoothie would put me in a diabetic coma. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) 14 oz. of a smoothie would put me in a diabetic coma. :( I just had a roughly 20oz smoothie. I couldn't have breakfast and won't eat again until dinner so I figured it was the healthiest option. I know they're fattening, but I love them. Matt came home early because of a gas leak. :svengo: He says we're getting these. Good reviews on other glasses the company makes and they won't clash with my Fiestawear.

texasmama Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) :grouphug: I had kind of a feeling about that; know you did too. I did. The vet did a complimentary xray and it showed more gas in the intestines. I knew then that was not good. Nothing is going through so she either has a blockage or her intestines have shut down completely due to another process. They are very good and nice there, but I still cried when they took her back. Then I cried on the way home and got myself together to tell the kids because I didn't want my feelings to indicate that I think there will be a bad outcome. I think the outcome will be good. I just worry. I told the kid who came with me to never get any pets. Too expensive and hard on the heart. Of course, I am not serious, but we get these animals knowing we will bury them. I kept thinking that this is not even the cat I call my best friend. I sit around sometimes thinking of when Lily dies someday and I start crying. Good grief.

texasmama Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 The hospital will keep her until dh and I get home on Sunday. She would have stayed until Saturday anyway, but this way she can be cared for by competent people while we go on our trip. They will call when she goes into surgery and after she wakes up and is doing okay. The original vet is not doing the surgery, but she introduced me to the vet who will do it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Openhearted Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Sigh. I think my mom is getting worse again. She is bipolar, and very, very hard to deal with. She is not in a full blown episode, but it is possibly heading in that direction. It is so hard trying to help someone that doesn't want your help, never takes responsibility for their actions, and is never sorry for what they have done.

Renai Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I am watching the Golden State game in another Window. They are trying to beat the Amazing Bulls' record of 72 wins in a season. However, the only way we can watch the game is the Spanish broadcast. Educational basketball! :D All the games we watch are in Spanish. We only watch futbol anyway. Every time we have to go to one of the girls' games (dd16 used to play too), I'd have to relearn all the terms in English. Although Gymnast's team speaks all English, we still call things in Spanish because we're used to it. And it's probably the only game vocabulary that we remember. fuera de lugar = offsides falta = foul gol = goal tiro de esquina = ? can't remember, or never knew empate = tie I just looked up "soccer terms in Spanish" just now and actually found a page that has the term in Spanish, then English and French.

I need it to balance out the macabre side that sits around having pet funerals for animals who are perfectly fine! I'm sorry Tex. That must be hard.

Slache Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 (((Hugs to all))) I went to the chiropractor. He approves of my current activity level. Last time he said I'd lost too much muscle mass. That was after my really bad, unexplained fatigue. Then we went to The Learning Palace and I was reminded of why we never go there. It's all retired public school teachers that despise homeschooling. Two of my purchases were developmentally inappropriate and one of the things we have at home doesn't exist, we must be mistaken. They also made me stand there while she looked to see if I was lying about finding their new address on google. I'll order from amazon next time. Anyway we got handwriting paper, a clock (because the one Matt made is pretty flimsy), and a laurel lacy puzzle thing. Apparently there was not a gas leak at Matt's work. Someone thought there was, but it was actually the smell of new wires. I'm not sure how one confused the two, but I'm glad there wasn't a gas leak. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmama Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) (((Dawn))) Back from leading the troop on pet care, ironically. I feel like I need more silence than I am likely to get this evening and tomorrow. I called the odd father and told him about Marley and cried. Sometimes it helps to talk to your parent who was there when your first pet went through something. Marley is in surgery right now. The office is very good. The vet called me to say they were taking her into anesthesia right then and would call me when she was done and awake. He anticipated a two and half hour window there.

texasmama Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) Just heard from the vet. Marley is out of surgery, and it went well. Indeed there was an object in her intestine. She had chewed off the head of a pink rubbery lizard and swallowed it. I knew exactly what he was talking about. Little dd has a collection of these animals and her room is a wreck. Marley will be in one kid's room from now on because his room is Spartan. I suspected a hair band, and I was close. GROSS ALERT - FOR CRITTER AND THE STRONG OF STOMACH: The vet said that the head of the lizard was lodged at the end of her small intestine and was causing a complete blockage. Tons of liquidy grossness poured out of her intestine, which is very inflamed. They washed out her abdominal cavity and have her on antibiotics. They will have her in the hospital for 3 days to recover and will get her eating again as soon as possible. She should be fine, but he said she will have diarrhea for awhile.
