Happy Easter Sunday

Tangerine · Guru

I always think of my grandma on Easter. It was her favorite holiday.
Every morning at breakfast she would say, "Today is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it."
I miss her.

Morning all! Happy Easter to those who celebrate!

For the last three days, my lower back has been achy, with today being the most achy. But it does not feel like any back ache I have had, feels more like the kidneys. It is enough that I have located the covered Urgent care facilities both here and by MIL. Not sure if I will go or wait for doctor's office to open tomorrow.

Still planning to cook for MIL today. I need to make the stuffing for the mushrooms and artichokes, everything else is done and ready to throw in the oven. Fortunately the menu is simple.

Morning, happy Easter! I already got called in once. This was my view going in the door.

DD and I just went for a long hike at the park near me. Sonny loved it of course. just having a nice relaxed morning. Need to shower soon. We have 2:30 dinner reservations at a swanky place. I love that DD has out grown the typical child fare. She loves good food.

Carlee has had two seizures this morning. We gave her the temporary medicine the vet gave us. Now she can't function. Can't walk. Can't hold herself up. Why does this always happen on a Sunday? We're taking her in tomorrow morning to run her phenobarb levels to see what's going on.

Tangerine · Guru

We have a new record for last minute holiday planning by Husband's family. No one said a thing about Easter plans.
Today, literally one minute after I put a ham in the oven, they called to say they are having Easter dinner in just over an hour and we "have to" go because they want to see Bunny. evileye

I think Husband is trying to explain to his mother that we already have plans and won't be changing them.

Usually she gives us a day or two notice. This is ridiculous.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

Oh wow. Yeah, I wouldn't be going. You have to give me some notice for these things.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Our plans changed again.

I can't do the cooking, mom and dad just got back in late last night and ain't in the mood.

So we are sitting at Cracker Barrel waiting for our name to be called.

It's all good, I get french toast!

It's also a very cool 61, cloudy and foggy.

I'm regretting the capris at this point.

NJN. I'm so sorry to hear about the dog.

As an aside, My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 was really good. It was so funny.
It was consistent. Not just funny in the beginning, and then petering out. The entire movie had me in stitches.

She just had a third seizure. I guess we'll be seeing the vet in the morning. Apparently her phenobarb levels are off. She was doing so well.

I really really want to go see that movie. The first one was hilarious. I hope the second one is just as good.

Having to tow the van home.

Aaron put diesel in it instead of gas.

Lesson learned for him.

Sorry about the van. Catalytic converter?

That sucks, Tang. Hope your DH handles it, and his family learns to give more notice in the future.

They were very serious. Husband told them we'd just have to get together another night.

It shouldn't be a big fix.

I realized what had happened before going 100 feet.

Should be able to cyphon it off, run some high tessera and fuel injector scrubber through it.

Dad's working on it now.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

We just had a gas station that had gotten diesel instead of regular gas. Many people pumped and then drove around unknowingly. Someone mentioned on facebook about their car trouble after using that station and it went viral. It's going to cost them a bundle to fix all those cars.

Around here the diesel pumps don't fit into a regular gas tank so you can't make that very mistake.

Not having a good day. Carlee is on her sixth seizure of the day. DH called the vet after the first two and he said to increase her meds and give the sedation meds. We did that and it didn't help. So DH called back. The vet is driving out to his office on Easter Sunday to see her. DH and DS are taking her in.

Crap. I'm sorry. You may have to seek alternate treatments.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

Our vet is awesome. He's called randomly throughout the day to check on her. When DH called and updated him he didn't hesitate but said to bring her straight into the office and he'd meet them there. I know he's going to give her some more medicine. Don't know what else he'll do since there is no staff there today. I thought the phenobarb was helping. We may have to switch.

If I drink anymore fluids, I will either float away or my bladder will burst. It is so full now but I keep drinking anyway.

njn I hope Carlene gets some relief soon.

Thanks jlbear. I can't believe there's a vet alive that would come in on Easter Sunday.

When my son or furry friends get sick, I would gladly trade places with them. It breaks my heart.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

DH is back. $220. Which is not bad. When we have taken her to the emergency vet they just tell us to call her vet the next day. They give her a temporary sedative and we're on our way. And that runs us at least $200. He added some new meds to her phenobarb and gave us some more sedatives.

Mellow Momma · Sniff...sniff, sniff. Yay! A Bum!

Yeah, it could be worse. I hope it helps. Poor thing.

weltschmerz · Guru

She can barely stand up and he gave her more sedatives?

For the future. The sedatives are PRN. We haven't given her one ever until today. We actually have two kinds. One is a really light sedative that we give her when it storms. It doesn't knock her out. The other one we gave her today is IM and it does make her super groggy for about 20 minutes and then she does well. We only give this one if she's seizing. It kind of resets her brain.
