OK, I'm having a hard day today. My dog is experiencing a degeneration of the spine, which is compressing nerves and causing her to lose sensation in her hind legs (hence the foot dragging, and walking on the top of her foot). I almost feel like I just can't bear another thing. And if there was ever something I would want to run crying to H about, it's that. She is like my child. UGH. WTF! Can I just catch a frigging break, here? Deep breath. OK, we're going to try her on a short course of steroids to see if the nerve pressure might be caused by temporary inflammation. But the x-ray didn't look too good. **** I'll be fine, it's just one of those days where you feel like you've gotten the last straw. Need to regroup again. Plus I feel all achey myself -- sympathy aches? I ready and waiting for some EXTRAORDINARILY good times to make up for this year. Bring it on!
