COLD DARK ROOM

[DE42]

Take care Dan, and I hope you soon have 100% feeling back.
Try to have a good rest on your holiday.

Thanks. I'll try and take pics.

I think I tropical storm is going to hit while I'm there.

Good morning all. I have been tackling the laundry mountain this morning. It seems to get enormous whenever we go away.

Like everyone else, I am anxiously awaiting news from Dan.

News from the nest is that Mr B seems to have disappeared... and so have all but one chick [emoji22]

It seems Mrs B couldn’t feed them alone

Oh, NOOO! [emoji33] What could have happened?

 

[Momof4]

Well I'm not sure how wise it us but I'm at the airport. I still barely had time to get here.

Enjoy yourself and take it easy!!

Btw my texting may be off due to my right hand being numb.

Enjoy yourself and take it easy!!

Good afternoon/evening all.
Hope you have all had or are having a good Monday.
It's been another very warm and mainly sunny day here.
Lola hasn't really eaten any more, but he has taken food with critical care mix from me and fed himself.
I think he is playing games and being fussy - as soon as he smells cucumber he perks up but that's being kept to a bare minimum.
He wandered out onto the garden this afternoon and had a little bask, he spotted a tort garden ornament and made a bee line to lie by and intimidate it.
He also passed urates in his soak this morning and quite a lot this evening - more than he has for a while and consistency was fine.
So at least there's no deterioration in him and to be honest of you saw him walking about you wouldn't know there was a problem, he is still nice and high on his legs - but he needs to eat and put some of his weight back on.
Bristol Zoo have their own vets but have given me the name of a practice they know and recommend. So we may be off on a longer trip.

Not really. It was a blood clot but they don't know why I happened.

Have they given you warfarin or something similar to thin the blood or is that not possible with your other probs?

 

[Lyn W]

Oh heck!
Just what you need!!
Make sure you have your brolly and wellies!!

 

[Lyn W]

Don't worry - you are doing remarkably well considering.

They started me on Plavix.

They released you without knowing what was wrong?

 

[Yvonne G]

Not really. It was a blood clot but they don't know why I happened.

So, did they find where the clot was and dissolve it?

 

[Yvonne G]

I really should read all the way through before responding. What a dork!

Happy Monday!!

We have a drizzly chilly day here so I’m going to make a lasagna! It’s been forever because my kids don’t like it, so I guess they’ll find something else.

Yesterday I felt so bad for my husband. He spent a long time seasoning 3 racks of ribs and smoked them for 6 hours and they were so salty we couldn’t eat them. I ate 3 and it was hard to do. He never cooks and he was so disappointed.

Oh shame. That would be very dissapointing.

It's ok lol. It could have been much worse. I'm just glad I could walk out. Even if I walk funny.

 

[CarolM]

Not really. It was a blood clot but they don't know why I happened.

But if it was a blood clot shouldn't you refrain from flying ?

 

[DE42]

They did not say so and they knew I was flying. So hopefully it is fine.

I bet your walk isn't as funny as this.....

 

[CarolM]

They did not say so and they knew I was flying. So hopefully it is fine.

I really hope so too. At least the rest you will get while on vacation will do you the world of good.

Oh that is awesome that they responded to you. And that is funny about the tort ornament. Maybe you should show him the ornament more often, it might make him perk up as he won't be able to let the competition win.
