Whats your plans for the day?

Ghoti Ichthus

Pray so they do not serve alone. Ephesians 6:10-20
We discovered quite by accident last week (all Glory to God for the way we found out) that our 18 year old, neutered male cat was peeing blood. He had no other symptoms, so if we didn't find out by a total fluke, we would have never known until it was too late.
Our vet couldn't get him in last week, so I called all the area vets and we were put on wait lists. There is a 24-hour emergency vet about an hour away, but there was no way we could afford it. The blood was so much worse today that I called our vet again and told them that if they didn't get him in today, I would just show up there and wait until somebody saw him. They gave me an appointment this afternoon. We were wondering if it could be bladder stones, but thankfully the x-ray and ultrasound showed no stones and no bladder masses. I had managed to get a good urine sample before we left, and it showed a raging bladder infection, so now he is on pain meds, anti-inflammatories, and 2 weeks worth of the strongest antibiotics that cats can have. I am so grateful to God that we got him in today and what he has is treatable. The vet could not believe he is 18 years old. He looks 8 at the most. He is half Maine Coon, so I was not too surprised when they weighed him and he came in at 19 1/2 pounds.

:pray :pray :amen :amen

Took flags out to the cemetery to put them on family members' and a friend's father's graves.

:salute

The dog was not particularly well behaved, except for the few minutes she absolutely, positively had to be [whew!}
In all fairness, we were out there a long time, it was hot, and I haven't fixed the AC in the car, yet (putting off non-essentials until the government gets its act together enough that I can count on $$$ at the end/beginning of the month(s).


:thankyou JESUS!!! :thankyou for our freedom, peace, and safety, and for the Veterans, living and dead, and their families. Please bless our leaders and give them wisdom and work ethic to be about the people's business that the government doesn't default or fail, and people don't suffer on account of our leaders' selfishness.


:pray :pray :amen :amen

Hopefully, today or tomorrow I will hear from the pain management team, and soon find out if Im a candidate for tailbone injections.

Im going to ask a neighbor a few houses down if he will cut/trim a few thick branches that hang over the street. If we get a fifth wheel, it would not fit under and could risk roof damage. If the neighbor says ok, but cant do it himself, myself and another neighbor (who also has a trailer) will park my truck under the branch, place ladder in the back off my truck bed, climb ladder with chainsaw and cut the branch. Sounds simple, what could go wrong with two 65 year old men doing this? :biggrin

Well, we had a power outage over the entire region today and our generator still hasn't been set up so I was bailing water out of the sump pump all morning. I was muttering some not-nice things about my husband, I have to admit as I was lugging the bucket of water up the stairs to outside for the 10th time. I did try setting it up myself but I didn't know where anything was and I couldn't even open the gas cap. Thankfully, it was a sunny day outage so the water wasn't coming in too fast and I could at least catch my breath between bails.

And I forgave my husband once the power came back on. LOL And I successfully kept the basement dry so yay!

You need to hire a certain former Alaskan. What you don't want to do for sure is climb out on the stout branch, turn towards the trunk, then cut the branch between you and the trunk.
