So what's been happening in our household I am a bit late updating because we had a bit of a drama. I know what you are thinking ( not another one ) it was the dog this time and not Trevor.
Little Lilly delivered 3 puppies at home all was going well then she got into difficulties of course it was 2am ( it always is when you need an emergency vet ) so I had to drag Trevor out of bed and we did the Nee Naaah bit ( that's code for a pet ambulance) π
3 more healthy puppies were delivered by C Section the one that got stuck didn't make it . Mum and babies are all doing well know 2 weeks on .
Trevor stayed in the car and slept while I paced up and down inside the vets like an expectant parent.
I always plan in my head to be organised and READY for any emergency and by READY and I know this is really vain but I actually plan my outfit in my head it's nothing fancy just dressed will do and wearing shoes would be good .
Of course that is never how it happens so wether it's A&E or emergency vet I am generally unwashed , hair not brushed , wearing my red fluffy dressing gown ( the one with the hood and the egg stains ) and a pair of werewolf slippers. π
I am seriously thinking of having an emergency clothing bag by the door π Might even put some lippy in . I know all of you guys are reading this and thinking what is she rambling on about trust me it's a girl thing .
So scores on the doors !
PSA down from 4086 - 3804 I know still huge numbers but flipping heck it's a drop and Trevor's face lit up the room. I do believe that Abbi is working it's keeping a lid on it. It has never driven it down to what we had hoped but and you guys know I am famous for my buts I honestly think it is doing something .
The icing on the cake !
ALP down from 201 - drum roll ! To 140 . We started Raduim with ALP at over 400 so we are really happy with that ( for those that don't know ALP is measuring activity in the bones and 140 is pretty much near normal.
Time for a song I think it's got to be sister act OH Happy Day !
We are still waiting for the report on the heart tests apparently a letter has been sent to our gp so we are chasing that up but I am assuming because there hasn't been a follow up appointment that there isn't a major issue . Fingers crossed symptoms have settled .
So we are ticking along still driving and pretty much pain free still gardening in fact he was cutting the grass this morning with the flymo in the rain , I know I did say do you think that's wise , his answer was if Heart attacks , strokes and cancer can't get me then a little bit of rain has got no chance . Men π€
The biggest problem at the moment apart from him cutting grass in the rain is the osteocrenisis I really don't want to put any one off having Zometa it worked brilliantly for us for ages and what Trevor has as a side affect is so rare .
He has to syringe salt water in the gaps in his jaw after every meal and nothing is stopping the continuing abscess in fact 3 weeks ago it has burst out of his skin on the side of his jaw this is continuing to leak puss. It goes down and then within days it comes back again. He has been on pretty much constant Aunty Bs . It is going to be back to the dentist after the bank holiday . We were warned that the healing process could take a long time .
So at the moment he is back on soups / if any one has unusual soup or soft food recipes I would love to hear from you.
