Thanks all. He took a turn for the worse tonight. I always said that I never wanted him to endure any suffering and sadly, I think we've gotten to that point. He collapsed on the kitchen floor tonight (he had a leg injury this morning that was assessed by the vet, but we determined that it was best just to give him pain meds/rest and deal with the leg after the urinalysis results are in). I've given him more pain meds and will take him back in tomorrow, but I'm terrified that they are going to tell me that it might be time. I've been crying all night, but not in front of the kids (they know he's seriously ill, but I don't want to upset them too terribly much).

Momhappy, I am so so sorry. I wish I could take your pain away. I'm so hoping you receive some good new tomorrow.

Not a happy camper... All weekend long DH worked himself up into a tizzy about going to work on Monday. Megan's gonna be asking me for updates he kept complaining... Monday he woke up feeling yucky probably from allergies... Tired and stuffy nose, so i said stay home... You have many PTO days left for the year. He went in today. He admits now it was a bit anticlimactic. Anyways, he came home after work and told me he threw up in his mouth during drive home. He then went to my parents to let the dogs out and feed them plus kitty. He swung by Taco Bell to pick up crap for me for dinner. He got home, got out of car, and proceeded to hurl on the lawn. I asked him if he had burning in his throat earlier to rule out heart burn and indigestion. No. I had him sit down for a bit in the kitchen, then he came up to take a shower and looked better.

I truly think it's anxiety. Last time he worked himself up he passed out in the supermarket and woke up being transported to ER - 2015. He's gotten better with bitching about work - pre passing out it was 2-3 hrs a night of how much he hated the company. I kept telling him this weekend that if he hates it so much he has to do something. Look for a job. He is on 10 mg Lexapro and he said it took the edge off the stress, but idk...it's over a month in now. He did skip a day or two here and there. Worried and frustrated... I can't fix this.

Pinto Bean, Please please find a way to get your husband to listen to his doctor. I've spent the past five months listening to liver specialists and transplant doctors. I wish I could introduce your husband to my brother. Believe me if they spent 10 minutes together your husband would realize the doctors warnings are not to be taken lightly.

Aww I am so sorry about this momhappy. Sending your sweet dog buckets and buckets of healing PS ***DUST*** and lots of good thoughts and wishes for all of you. I am hoping things turn around for him and that he recovers. (((HUGS))) to you and your children and your dear dog.

Thinking about you momhappy and your dear pup! lots and lots of dust...

Sadly, we had to put my sweet boy down this morning. It wasn't a leg injury, it was likely a blood clot and he lost the use of the back half of his body. He was suffering and it was time to let him go. Thanks for all of the kind words.

Oh momhappy, I am so very, very sorry - I know it's small comfort but I went through a similar thing several years ago and so I have some understanding of how hard this is. It helped to constantly remind myself that my sweet boy wasn't suffering anymore. Big hugs to you, sending thoughts of comfort and peace to you and I really am so sorry.

I am so sorry for your loss, momhappy. {{{hugs}}}

Very interesting turn of events as of late. Something may come of this and I think it would be awesome, but would be very challenging and different. Sorry for being cryptic but it's a public forum....

Oy ve is all I have to say for today!
The beginning of Meow-Meow Cat Mama day and the winding day of it has been great. The in-between?
My neighbor and I went to a local nursery together so that I can buy a Baby Blue Eyes blue spruce. It's super cute, and I can't wait to plant it in the common area on the other side of my fence. When it grows bigger, it will provide additional natural screening for my home . Anyways, we get home, and DH comes out to unload the tree from the neighbor's SUV. He gets it out, and she cries, "Oh NO!" and holds up a broken egg she just fetched from her trunk. She immediately drops it (probably from shock), and sits down in her trunk and her face crumples and she looks like she's about to cry. She says there was a baby bird in the egg. . DH and I frantically start looking in the tree for a nest, and DH finds one. My neighbor retrieves 2 more eggs from the trunk, and just holds them in her hand, palm slightly shaking. She asks aloud, what should I do with these? I suggest, trying to be helpful, you could put them somewhere on the ground, and let nature take its course (meaning, a predator), and she then says maybe she'll put them on a heating pad, maybe she'll bury them. I tell her that the way the nursery was - full of people in and out, it is doubtful the nest was built there, but was made in the place they got the tree from. DH and I were also at the nursery on Saturday and saw the same tree. The mama has probably been gone for a long time now. She drove her car home, and before she left, I told her that DH would take care of the broken egg and bury it. I had her wheelbarrow so I pushed it to her home, and as I got there she was just going inside her house, so I didn't get to thank her or ask if she's ok (courtesy - to check up - I know she's not ). I send her an e-mail thanking her for taking me to get the tree, that DH buried the egg, and that I said a prayer over the egg. Half hour later, I tried her landline and left a voicemail telling her that I'm sorry I didn't get to thank her earlier. I feel SOOOoo badly still. I'm an ass sometimes when I'm upset, and I feel like in hindsight I could have handled the situation better. It was just shocking to all of us...

 

[december-fire]

PintoBean,

Don't be so hard on yourself. When you said you could have handled it better, I had to re-read your post to figure out what you thought you did wrong; the comment about leaving the eggs for a predator? Don't beat yourself up. As you said, you were thinking that nature would take its course.

Odds are that the eggs were probably no longer viable and any attempts to care for the eggs and see baby birds hatch would have been unsuccessful. Even if any baby birds did hatch, they would probably not live long.

If you're interested, you can check out the attached link which provides more detail.

Bottom line, once the nest and eggs were separated from the parent bird, the eggs would have ceased to receive the care required to ensure proper temperature, etc. There really wasn't anything that you or your neighbour could have done. That's my unprofessional read on the situation.

Although you and your neighbour didn't cause the situation and couldn't do anything to save the eggs, its still very upsetting. I'm sorry you and your neighbour experienced this.

Yes, December-Fire! That was the comment I felt bad about. Thank you for your kind words and hugs!! Great minds think alike -I actually looked at the same link on Sunday as well!

WooHoo!

Not even noon and I've been told I have a 'great mind'!

That's my interpretation of the comment and I refuse to listen to any dissenting views! Ha!

I fully support the fact that you have a great mind as well, PintoBean!

Your views are based on reality. I like that.

Although, your Miami onion roll comments in your IDJ thread seemed to have a strong bakery-based theme.

More hugs and wishing you a wonderful day!

What all do you add to that morning coffee?

 

[PintoBean]

THANK YOU December-Fire!!! I think my hair is losing volume, so your giving me a big head helps to make up for that!

I don't understand this, Dee Jay!! Do you have both legs through one hole?!?!

 

[Dee*Jay]

LOL, no. Picture this: take a thong and rotate it a third. Your waist ends up in one of the leg holes. At least this time it's only sideways. Last time it was sideways AND inside out.

BAHAHAHAAHAHA - no wonder I couldn't figure this out!!! I have granny panties, err... they call them "boy shorts" nowadays on, and I was like how do I pull a DeeJay with these on?!?!?!
