I can’t cope

It’s all good @Bow. I’ve been the same.

Im so sorry about your head ache. I know it’s hard for you to sleep of a night. I wish I could help.

I know that I should shower and I will feel better. I just trying to motivate myself. One positive though is a least I don’t need to put pjs on, I’m still in them.

The sedation has worn off Pix and now she is desperate to get out and move. She is chucking a tantrum, but she has to stay locked in it for weeks! It’s going to be a long 16 weeks until she is healed!

How is D going? Have you got any Lego or painting on the go?

How are you @fluffylight

Oh Pix!! Aww 😞 @Captain24

Awww what a little sweetheart Pix is!

She is lucky to have you @Captain24, was thinking of you earlier, how are you feeling today?

I bet you will feel so much better are a nice warm shower, do you think this is something nice you can do for yourself today?

She’s not a little sweetheart when I’m trying to do her rehab exercises or give her pain relief! @Melbcoffeesnob. I’ve nearly been bitten 3 times today. But I do know she is in a great deal of pain.

Im not real good.. Life is all feeling way to much to deal with right now.

I’m watching tv at the moment so at least I’m out of bed. I might try and have a shower before I go back to bed.

I can see my warning signs but I think it’s too late. I see today as a write off so I can always try a new approach tomorrow.

How have you been?

Hey @Captain24 . I just saw the photo of Pix. Poor thing. And I guess while she is confined to her pen, you have to watch out how much you feed her or she'll put on a lot of weight. I've seen that in a cavoodle who had a surgery on his leg too.

Sounds like it's a lot of work for you. Are you spending time at home with her, or are you leaving her home alone sometimes?

Yeah she is already overweight @tyme. So I have cut her food back before surgery and I’ve cut it back more. I can’t risk anymore weight. I have taken her to specialists in regards to it before.

It’s so much work. It’s going to be a longtime in recovery! Mum has to do it too. At this stage I haven’t left her at all. But I will have to go down the street on Sunday but I’ll only be 20 mins, if I don’t run into anyone! I’ll leave her to go to work on Monday morning but mum will be here pretty early to pick her up. I have 2 nightshifts this week so I’ll see how that goes. She is just sleeping a lot though. She can’t do anything else as the is no room! 😂.

How was your day?

It sounds so so hard. I know you can't give her too much food, but I wonder if giving her a kong with a smidgen of vegemite will keep her stimulated. @Captain24 She will need to be mentally stimulated or it will be very hard on her physical recovery. She might get depressed.... it's so hard being confined. And it's not like she's an old or tired dog. She's so young and full of life.

Did you say 16 weeks of recovery????!

I've had an okay day today. I think I'm getting sick. My niece had a sore throat and sharing a bed with her wasn't the best idea.... well... I don't have a bed yet - still.

I've been a bit tired lately. I don't know if it an iron issue (I have low iron), or if it's food related....

I'm not sad or depressed or anything. I just don't feel like I have as much energy. I'm usually bounding with energy.

What did you get up to today at home? Just sleep?

Sorry for the late reply @Captain24

Had to pop to the shops to grab a few things for market tomorrow, got dinner, I lay on my acupressure mat for a while to help with my headache and now we have just loaded the car up for market tomorrow. Mum will now stress that she has forgotten something.

my headache isn’t as bad now thankfully.

D is going well. They had a fundraising day today at school and went dressed up. She loved it.

I’ve had a painting sitting on my easel for weeks that I haven’t touched. Don’t have much motivation for painting at the moment. Haven’t got any Lego on the go either, but heaps in the cupboard to do. I don’t have as many appointments next week so maybe I’ll do something… some painting, a puzzle, lego… or maybe I’ll just lay on my bed and rest. Will start getting us ready for our holiday too.

sorry things are rough for you too. And 16 weeks is a long time for rehab, hopefully that’s not 16 in the pen??
