Not around much due to we cant get rid of the dang UTIs. 3 months straight. Monday culture came back with some bacteria where it was at the point you only treat if symptoms, but based on my increasing in severity symptoms did another culture Tuesday and it just came back with multiple sevete bacterial. My urologist is out but the Dr above her is handling it. The nurse will call back when he figures out th e best plan of action either iv or oral or a combo. Either way at least 2 antibiotics are needed. I amon my phone so apologize if spell check plays with what I type ugh. I am so miserable with bladder pain. And today I get the gel shots in my knees, the one and done ones that work! I also been needing to self catherize after about 6 months or more without due to the infections. I hate it and its painful and triggers my ptsd.

New cat tree just arrived fede.x is still in the driveway! Madekine is a 14 pound cat should be 11 pounds were working on it. Her other cat tree she was way too heavy for. . Hopefully this ones better it even says especially for large to extra large cats. Nah our babies aren't spoiled lol

Okay off to rest until my appointment. Been awake for only 27 hours.........thanks a lot back pain, fibro, neuropathy and a body full of arthritis. Not able to take the meds that help due to being on warfarin after having the supposed to be deadly pulmonary embolisms that I fought and won against. They did say my body was shutting down fast and would not have made it another 24 hours ... Scary. Next month is a year. A yeab of life drs and nurses etc thought I would never see but the drs never gave up on ne and I am so grateful!

Happy Aloha Friday! And happy new year!

Fantod, we are having a warm January here, too. I am not complaining since this is on par with Hawaii’s weather this time of year. I can't imagine what is coming out of that deceased person's house. Yuck. There used to be a burned down house right next door and the owner died in the fire. It took 3 years before a new owner finally bought the property and tore it down. Neighbors said the fire was so bad, the fire dept had to wait till the day to go in and remove the owner's charred remains. Really horrific scene. Investors built a new house in its place and they should be finishing construction soon.

AngelaJo, I will have to read your post about a new pet and get back to you. Congrats, though. Ugh, those stubborn UTIs! Have you tired women's probiotics for urinary and vaginal health? I hope the doctors find a way to help you. Seriously.

I started taking Christmas decorations down on the 1st, starting with the 12 ft tree next to the fireplace. I have done a little each day and now all that is left to take down are the five ft wreath above the fire place and the lit manger scene in the front yard.

In some really good news:
We found a place for Mom to move to. She is pre-approved for move in at a 62+ senior apartments, and they will give her a move-in date as soon as the official approval comes in. She could be completely moved out of my house before the end of the month!!! *happy dance*

Cheers to all! Have blessed weekend!

The verdict is still out on my critters. Didn't make it on yesterday, but we were able to remove Miki's mass, and she's doing well. Biopsy will take about 5-7 days to make sure we got the whole thing and see how aggressive it is. VanGogh is having his ultrasound later this afternoon and I still don’t know if I hope we find something or not. He seems to be doing ok at home but has lost a couple more ounces. Will update later if I can, we're pretty busy here.
Angela, congrats on the new pup!
Blue, congrats on your mom leaving your house!

We are at two dogs and holding here. Everybody is well to the best of my knowledge. Motley turns 9 on the 19 th (born at the rescue) and we will have adopted Clayton 5 years ago on the 31st. I found a new food at the pet store today that they really enjoy, so it’s been a joyous day at my house!
