I am so sorry about the loss of your little furry friend. I love little creatures like that--we had rats which were awesome, and ducks, and goats, and rabbits and dogs and cats and a pot belly pig and a ferret and a horse and chickens . Not all at the same time of course...but through my life time.

Anyway...you are a good guinea mommy and he/she knew that. It was just time my friend. I know it is hard but, it will get easier over time----not trying to be lame, just supportive.

I am happy about your ankle doc and I hope things go well...it is not fair to hurt so bad everywhere and then have support structure joints go out.

HUGS my friend.

I am sorry too. Animals are such comforts and they are such good friends. Healing to you my friend.

Awww so sad. I am so sorry you lost your little friend. We sure get attatched to our pets don't we?
I sure hope this doctor does nothing but good for you. Whatever happens don't give up though.
Gentle Hugs,
Toni

It is always sad when they have to leave earth before we do.

Ever heard of the rainbow bridge? Here is a web site for pet loss support.

missing them means that you loved them dearly

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I can't imagine life without animals. When mourning this type of loss, I try to remember that the relationship is still intact and I can draw comfort from my time with my animals even as I miss their daily physical presence greatly. There is a psychic bond in living beings that transcends life and death. At least, that is how I conceptualize it. When our animals pass away, they know we will mourn for a while, but they hope we will eventually move out of mourning and honor their legacy by being happy, compassionate, and loving.

Good luck with your foot doctor. I hope you find answers and you should not give up until you do. Choosing the right doctor is so important, but often it is hard to know who is right until we try them out. This really sucks, considering how expensive these appointments can be.

Lots of love and healing,
Angie

i'm sorry to hear about your furry friend. My cats been with me thru thick and thin, i'm gonna have a moo when he goes.

I hope the next ankle doc can help you. My rhummy and neuro don't have any idead for my ankles. They swell and are really painfull alot of the times. When you find a doc to help you can you let me know what kind of doc it is? i have to use my canes sometimes just cause the ankle pain is do bad. My neuro told me it was inflamation and its a rhummy problem and my rhummy said its a mechanical problem...So yeah i've been passed back and forth for this as well. Hopefully your new RA meds will help some with this.

I hope you feel better
hugs
