tomorrow. I talked to them on the phone and they told me now that it sounds like a tape worm. I hope they can figure it out soon, I hate to see her suffering with a belly ache. She also looks like she's losing a little weight. She's still playing and running around and drinking though.
I did buy a cook book for dogs over this past weekend, but I'm a little hesitant to start this. I'm just afraid that the dogs won't get the proper nutrients. Anyone else cook for their dogs?

Doctor's appointment soon
I have a doctor's appointment in the middle of June. I'm going to try to deal with this until then. I tried looking up anxiety on the internet but they way they describe it didn't seem to fit. I hate asking for another pill to take. I have way too many now. But, if it takes away this feeling, I'll do about anything. Thanks.
CJ had a followup appointment
He is doing decently well. Got up and voided for DH at 5:00 a.m., then got himself up as I was preparing the car to take him for his recheck. This time I remembered to put in the 9-inch thick orthopedic mattress. Can't believe I forgot that for his postop ride home! They got more air out and lapped up some special food they brought him that smelled like cat food. So I brought some of that home and his appetite did kick in - yay! He's also appreciating having the water and food bowls up on the feeding riser, so it's nice we have all this stuff already in place.
We are giving Sasha lots of loving too so she doesn't get too worried and depressed.
Thank you all for caring. I have an appointment on
Thursday to see a Christian psychologist at a local church. I have been thinking of attending this church for some time, and when I have my appointment it might be a foot in the door so to speak. Thank you again for your kind words. My post was just another way of reaching out. When I get terribly depressed I tend to internalize everything and avoid people. I really need to sit down with someone and just unload. I think this is a step in the right direction.
Congrats on that appointment! sm
A lot of people are returning to church. I was too "busy" for years and got away from it and feel it at the holidays. My views of the right/wrong religion have changed a great deal over the years. I no longer believe there should be huge "differences" in churches and ? being loyal to just one. I am "searching" as well because my kids have married people from other faiths and I feel they are "pulled" as to where to go, and that should not be. I'm happy you are thinking of returning and faith is so important these days. You have inspired me to get off my butt as well and get back to church (and I am not going to give up until I get back there.) It can be very depressing because it does haunt one on the holidays (at least me anyway). I can't imagine not having faith. Congratulations to you! 
By all means, keep the vet appointment sm
just to make sure of what's going on. She could have just about anything, from arthritis, tendinitis, Lyme, or even a blood clot. I'm glad the med is helping her. Is it Rimadyl? I would avoid using aspirin until you hear from the vet.
I would go ahead and make an appointment
with an ENT stressing the problem you are having. If you end up getting better or going to an urgent care first you can always cancel the appointment. It you know of an urgent care that you trust you could give that a try. Good Luck
That appointment with the thoracic surgeon
came to a halt when I had what I thought was a gallbladder attack and no, the physician's office calls and says no problems there, however what about the hypoechoic cysts in your right kidney. A scan I had a year or so ago picked up polycystic kidney disease but now with that, first things first and trying to seek more information regarding that. I guess with my age things just start falling apart! One thing I have done today though was to go to foot doctor about what he called "syndrome" in both feet and he prescribed Lyrica and said possibly would help the overall pain all over the body but mostly the ribs. This is the first physician who has said maybe the rib pain associated with the fibro that I have. Thanks for asking!
We waited 10 weeks, until 1st doctor appointment 9sm)
We just weren't comfortable telling anyone right away. Wanted to be sure everything was ok and had "stuck." I'm a very private person and would not want to have to deal with people knowing if something had gone wrong - I'm not really one for all the pity and tiptoing around you that people do after the loss of a pregnancy. Plus, once you tell it's all anyone wants to talk about!
I had someone tell me once that she was PG even before she told her husband. She miscarried two days later, then was calling me to tell me not to tell anyone and wondering if she should tell her husband after the fact. I was uncomfortable.
Having said that, if you feel so inclined, go ahead and share your joy! Congrats!
Who covers for him/her/them when they're off or can't make an appointment? nm

i suggest making an appointment with your doc ASAP sm
the health of you and the baby might be at risk...why take a chance? you already have enough to worry about and have 3 more months to go! i'm glad you came here for an opinion, but we're not practitioners...i think you need to get off your feet and talk to your doc stat!
Have an appointment with GYN oncologist one week from Friday. Thanks for the well wishes. sm
I am hoping for the best myself. I am hopeful that whatever it is, is in the early stages, as we had been following this cyst I had removed for 3 years and it was not suspicious until it just started changing appearance and removal was recommended. Thought after removing it I was home free, but guess not yet. I do know that cancer is no longer a death sentence and hopefully with a hysterectomy it will all be gone. I am just praying that it has not spread anywhere else. I'll be 42 years old tomorrow!!! Heck of a birthday present!
