Friday and Saturday brought a few things to worry about, but much, much more to be happy about. Nova continues to improve in so many ways. Dogs are so amazing! Nova is much more enthusiastic now about getting up, moving around, and going outside. Those first few days, I stressed so much that Nova didn’t […]
I just was shopping for Christmas gifts in the hundreds of catalogs that show up in the mailbox this time of year. In one was an afghan that listed the many things that cancer CANNOT do. It was written by an Anonymous author. Cancer is so limited….It cannot cripple LoveIt cannot shatter HopeIt cannot corrode […]
NOW we are starting to make some headway. This morning I went in to wake up Ben for school and I saw that Emmy had swiped the dog bed, and Nova was sprawled out on the floor on her “ouch” side. She had taken some of the throw pillows that had fallen from the kids […]
I finally got Nova to pee around 6:30 pm tonight. Yay! My kids thought I was an absolute nut case, I was acting as if she had performed the greatest feat ever. Then she ate a big dinner, wagged some tail, and crashed out on her bed in the living room. When I went to […]
Oh geeze, Mom. Sometimes I wish you would just take a chill-pill. You worry sooooo much. I know, I complain, but you know how much I appreciate it when you DO worry. If it weren’t for your worrying when my eyeball hurt so bad, we might not have caught the glacoma in time to save […]
It’s late afternoon on Thursday. It’s been a challenging day. Nova still has not peed since 5 pm yesterday and of course I am obsessing about it. It seems like it would be important to pee and eliminate the toxins out of the body, you know? I haven’t noticed her drinking much, she doesn’t seem […]
Here we are on day 3 and as expected, there is not much change. I can’t wait until Nova is off the epidural morphine. She really isn’t herself right now, although it is probably helpful for her healing that she is all zombied out rather than her usual wiggle-butt self. I just gave her her […]
Well we just got home and I am so thrilled to have Nova home. We talked in the car and decided that Nova would help me out with this post. So anything you see in italics comes straight from the new “Tripawds” mouth. Wow, what a long strange trip THAT was! Everything was so unexpected. […]
This afternoon just as I was adding these posts, my phone rang again. I noticed the cancer center’s number, and my heart skipped a beat. They were not supposed to call again until this evening. I fretted for a moment that there had been a problem, then realized I was not picking up the phone. […]
This morning the technician from the cancer center called right when she said they’d call. I was thrilled. She said that Nova was doing GREAT! She is not walking yet, but she is sitting up and eating canned food like a pig. They are going to get her walking today, up and down to pee, […]
