Yay!

Good to hear!

Yay! I’m so glad. I’m nervous enough when I have to spend the night away from my furbabies, nevermind when its because they’re sick! One of my cats was at the vet for 3 nights. We finally took her home to die because they couldn’t figure out why she was so sick and we ran out of money to keep doing tests, and that was thirteen years ago. She’s still alive as fuck.
It must’ve been so stressful for you guys. Hope the heat is letting up a bit! 

I am so very sorry, George. You are never truly prepared to lose a parent.

Welcome home!  Hug her

@CloverReef  Wise cracks are more than fun here! 

@Desiderius Price There’s no “might” about it. Wink wink. Especially since my artsy friends are such pervs. 

@GeorgeGlass  Butt cracks might be perfectly acceptable on @CloverReef’s phone, just saying….

Um… Okay, @GeorgeGlass
*Yells at phone in the middle of a crowded cafe* NO!

This morning’s update: we might get to take her home this afternoon. They took her off the IV cocktail and started her on the oral rescue med I use at home, and she had a seizure, but the neurologist is still optimistic we might be able to bring her home and continue with the oral meds until we reach the golden benchmark of 24 hours without a seizure. He’s of the same opinion as I am—she’ll do better at home and we can watch her just as well as anyone, as long as she’s not having clusters of seizures requiring sedation.

I don’t think it was the fireworks, really. I suspect it’s partly the hot weather, and partly an annual flare-up. When she was first diagnosed, it was right before the July 4 holiday, and we didn’t realize the phenobarbital we were administering orally wouldn’t build to a therapeutic level quickly enough. She started having clusters, and wound up nearly dying on us. Her last bad run of seizures, bad enough to put her in the hospital, was early September last year. 
What I want is someone to tell me cannabis oil works for canine epilepsy, too, and I’ll be at that damned dispensary so fast, I’ll break the sound barrier.
 

Sorry it flared like this. We just can’t comfort them enough and they try to to return it too. I worry about ours getting something chronic like this.

Say no to cracks!

I buy older models, usually open-box versions, and I don’t even put in the sim card until the Otterbox gets here. I am the queen of Otterboxes.

And… they took her off the IV and she had more seizures, so we’re going to have another night in the hospital with the IV. We went up to see her, and the wee lass knows us, but it’s hard leaving her there.
I really, REALLY fucking hate epilepsy.

If you’re blowing your wad on the phone, I’m wondering what pictures are on the phone and whether or not such damage is covered by the warranty? 

I have neeever used a protective case, usually because I blow my wad on the phone and can’t afford one. I seriously need to start. Because I’m sick of cracked screens. Though maybe it’s a testament to the durability of phones that they can still function so well with so many cracks? 

Good luck, and as Dorothy said, “There’s no place like home.”

Fingers crossed she’ll be just fine.

That’s why I always use those Otterbox cases. I don’t care if they make my phone twice as thick, as long as it’s protected from my natural clumsiness.
