My middle name is UTI

Originally posted 2023-07-06 12:58:20. I have reached the 4 week post op mark from the latest surgery. I go to my follow-up appointment an hour and some change away. This time my bff goes with me. I wanted to stop by Pottery Barn after the appointment to look at a recliner. Anyway… I’m at the appointment. They were pretty busy, backed up from one of their employees being absent due to her mom passing away.…

Repetitious

Originally posted 2021-09-18 09:00:22. The past month has been a bunch of repeats. Over and over I go. It’s been my husband, myself, my son, my best friend and the dogs. Each of us has had at least one appointment. To tell you the truth it has been more than just one. From my laser hair removal to massage therapy. To pain management to ear, nose, and throat specialist. Then our normal primary doctor’s appointments.…

With Love, Charlie

We had planned on taking her to nc state oncology for her appointment but she can’t do anything for herself anymore. We tried to get her up but she just stands there leaning against you. No wagging her tail no nothing. She will definitely be missed. She was the alpha in this…

Autism sensory overload

She’s seems miserable

Originally posted 2019-02-22 08:04:09. We have a consultation with NC State Veterinary School’s Oncology Dept. to see what if anything can be done before the dreaded decision has to be made. My husband said he doesn’t want to make that decision. This was their findings. I.E. Cancer… Me and cancer this year … this mf’r needs to fuck off. She came home with a bunch of medications.

Generic

You know the times you run low on your meds, and you just call the pharmacy and get more? Yeah, well, that’s now how it worked this time… 🤦‍♂️ Dusty told us he had one of his meds… “One pill mom” 😳😳😳 Yeah, ummmm… majority of the time, it’s no big deal. Even though we have been trying to get him to understand that he needs to tell us a lot sooner. I keep his…

There are words…

Originally posted 2020-03-20 21:26:45. There are words in my heart and mind that are desperately trying to get out. The news I learned today was supposed to be an extremely joyous one, truth is, it’s not. I suddenly felt this overwhelming feeling come over me, a feeling I can’t explain. It was sadness, grief, anger, and desperation. I feel so lost.I don’t know what to do… 😪😪😪
