Hi   They added 2 more dates for my pt They want tm edo up to 2 weeks before surgery.  He did measurements and tested the progress of strength.  MY strength has improved a lot.  I beat him a few times in not letting him push my legs to the side etc.  Balaance is not good but he says that takes time fear plays  role in that today. Today he had me practice putting my foot up to a small step stool with out holding. was teach me haow to adjust my hips befor goin gup.  Pretty much  teach me to go up a curb.  Once thats down it will be down  LOL    so my last day of pt is 10/23 and not the 18th

Hi  jicaji  and Paulie

Spent yesterday's  late afternoon at the vet's with Maggie.  Seems like my 'little old lady' had landed wrong jumping off our bed. And made life miserable for her self.
All weekend she'd been favoring her right front leg and limping and holding it up and close to her body. She went into 'seclusion' as cats do.
I called first thing Monday Am and couldn't get in at all.  So I made a late afternoon appt. today  for her to see a new vet at Southside. He was extremely nice and listened to what I had observed and what I felt was going on with her. So he checked her over and gently worked her joints, etc.,. He said she had a 'soft tissue tear'. And, not unlike what I thought as a sprain or pulled muscle.
She has been slowing recovering on her own and I've kept a  close eye on my geriatric baby.
So she's will be on pain meds  https://cats.com/buprenorphine-for-cats#What%20Does%20Buprenorphine%20Do%20For%20Cats? This makes me a bit nervous---alas it's only for a week.

Good Morning,

Glad to be back here after a really busy time since last Thursday thru Monday evening plus I was "under the weather" feeling nauseous and just did feel good Sunday until yesterday evening. It's gone now whatever it was and I'm glad!!

LB, Wow to only 6 days left working in office as of Oct 8 then either working from home or on leave out of office. Time flies!
Nice that you have upcoming pre-surgical appointments and good to hear PT is still going well.

#2

Phyl, Aww to Maggie. You were very close if not totally correct about what vet diagnosed.
What is Maggie's age?
The pain relief link you provided is an informative read. Geesh to some side effects.
Do you give her the med in liquid form orally on side of her mouth?

I've always wondered about pain meds masking pain if pulled muscles, sprain etc whether for people or animals. I don't like masking pain for myself sometimes because I don't like covering up the painful injury and maybe causing more harm using it versus allowing it to rest and heal without excessive use.  That being said I also understand there are times when pain meds are needed and helpful.
I hope that makes sense.

Agreed prayers for Israel.

Paulie Maggie is 22 years (Human) old.  Cat year is about 100  +/ -  .    Rx is just on the gums. Your reply makes sense. 

Hi  jicaji

[LBLNJ0668]

Good evening  Goinv to be another rainy weekend this will make 6 in a row. PT a lot of balancing exercises. The PT guy I like is goin gon vacation next week  I hope the other continue with the balancing.  I actually did a lot better than I thought I would    Every time if I looked down or moved my head to right to look out the window that is when I wuld lose my balance.  He noticed that too so you can tell he defnily watching everything you do 

[paulie]

Phyl, Wow to Maggie's age. She has a very good mama for sure! 


Busy day .. again... winterizing/putting  things away off upper deck and lower porch. Did some garden clean up too and Autumn decorated front of house and inside too.
Will be leaving tomorrow for get-away for a bit despite the days of rain.

Wishing all a pleasant weekend. Take care.

Good Morning,

After I turned off my laptop last night I remembered I didn't say TGIF to LB so ...

LB, TGIF

Quotes: Oh my gosh yes to #1  but all three are good.

Phyl, Thank you. We were hoping to have left already but I was asked to get one of my granddaughter's from school then home because she wasn't feeling well. Did that and having a cup of coffee now.

Beautiful day here today but rain tomorrow then intermittent this weekend. No problem. I'll sit on porch. Much needed!! 

Take care to all.
