COLD DARK ROOM

[Moozillion]

Just heard from the vet's office. She's not much different, but that's really to be expected because antibiotics take a few days to kill of enough bacteria to make a difference. I brought her to them Tuesday, so this is only the 3rd day she's had her meds.
So far: so good!!

Oh, just as an amusing aside: they have her on an antibiotic, of course, but they also have her on an anti-inflammatory called meloxicam. Meloxicam is what my husband takes for his arthritis!!!!!! So he and Jacques are on the same medication!!!!!!!!

Ha! The same meds.
Come on Jacques!
Bea, don't forget to check out your fossil thread.

Thanks, Adam.
I've been slightly obsessed with Jacques, and wanting to make changes in her tank to reduce her stress.
I'll pop over to my fossil thread and see what's going on!

Good morning, Carol![emoji38]
It’s 8:15 am over here. I’m just getting up. I expect to hear from the vet’s office about the same time as I did yesterday, which will be in another hour or so. I’ll DEFINITELY post an update as soon as I hear from them!
Thanks so much!!! [emoji2][emoji173]️

Silly I know. But I worry about you and Jacques. I am also tired today, should have known it was a little early on your side.

Hey everyone. Woke up sick this morning, don't know if it is the flu yet. Fever, soar throat- I can hardly talk.
Gonna probably sleep most of the day and won't be lurking around much.
Talk tomorrow or later today if I feel better!

 

[CarolM]

Hello Carol. Much luck with "surviving". Take a short nap or are you at work ?

I am actually still on leave but have been super busy while home. I think I would be better off at work. Less exhausting. I did however take a short nap. So not feeling so bad now.

Thank you, Carol! You are so sweet!
I'm actually feeling MUCH better about Jacques' prognosis. I know that although antibiotics start working right away, it takes at least 3 days or more to make enough difference for you to feel. She hasn't even been in treatment 48 hours:I brought her in late Tuesday and it's currently Thursday morning for us.
Also, the fact that he has her on an anti-inflammatory makes me feel even better: I feel like he's treating the whole infectious process, and not just giving her an antibiotic and hoping for the best.

I hope you can get some rest soon!
Thank you again for your loving concern!

Shall I make you a cup?

Always yes please. Sorry only answering now. Had to do the school run.

I am washing my knees this evening, but should have time for a natter.

We've been having real warm weather. Normally our frosty nights don't go away until after February, but we're already averaging 45F degree nights. I hope that doesn't mean our summer is going to be extra hot this year. Some of the box turtles have come out of their hibernation leaf pile. And while I was working on the pond fence I noticed a few of the water turtles are awake.

Today I'm going to finish cleaning up after my fence project, then maybe I'll tackle a few leaves. LEAVES!!! the bane of my existence! Oh well. . . it's going to be another beautiful day, with shirt sleeve weather, so at least we've got that going for us.

Maybe they can compare notes once Jacques comes home.[emoji1] also read your other post and commented on there.

Oh no. Thinking of you. Remember garlic. Ginger. Lemon. Honey and hot water. And try out Sabines remedy with the onion as well.

How's your back from yesterday. You seem to be superwoman.

I went to sleep at 00.40 up at 06.30 and I am counting the hours until I can go to sleep. Really feeling it today.

Did you catch it from me? Careful, roommates. Sleepiness virus is going around!

No news is good news. Now I’m sure she’ll be fine in no time. [emoji173]️

Oh no. Hope it’s not the flu. You were concerned about it before given the exposure to sick kids. Anyone else in the family has the symptoms?

Apart from the LEAVES, you’re making me envious
