Tuesday Tidbit + my Gobber

 

FINALLY our PurrKid is home AGAIN!! He previously stayed in Vet ER for 7days with IV fluids and catharized. Brought him home with meds and special UTI food and had to be sequestered from the other PurrKids. That lasted 4 days.
Nine days ago (no I didn't post) our boy made T.H.E most God-awful cry...rushed him back to Vet ER where he was catheterized & underwent IV fluids. Xrays showing a large Crystal cluster in his bladder that developed "stones". He did pass 2 stones thank goodness. Luckily, he completed all required meds while at the vet so monitoring and sequestered for a few weeks along with special UTI diet food.

We brought him home last night.

I have The Most Amazing Vet. I will only be charged for Meds, and Procedures during Goobers ER stay the past few weeks....YES, I was ready to take out a loan for surgery. My PurrKid is HOME!

Happy Homemaker Monday 11-9-26

Hi there, Let me re-introduce myself. I'm A Runners Mom and More... it's been several weeks of ''No Show'' here in the blogging world...I've had a few rough days that ended up being turned into weeks, not so much as being too busy, though, yes I have been. But I've been worried about my Goober. It is a very long story so in a Nutshell we had to take him to the emergency vet with a UTI/bladder blockage, he stayed for 7days with IV fluids and catharized.  Brought him home with meds and special UTI food and had to be sequestered from the other PurrKids. That lasted 4 days. Just before I was going to WV we had to take him back to the emergency vet and discovered he had crystal clusters in the bladder and when they ''broke off'' it formed stones..he did pass 2 while I was gone but still had to stay put. We've finally received word we can get him later this evening. All total my Goober has been in Vet ER 'hospital' for 15 days. 

I'm going to try and get things caught up as soon as I can with blogging because there's been a Whole Lot of Stuff! For now lets link up with Sandra for Happy Homemaker Monday.

 ** The Weather **

** As I look outside my window **

It's a bit nippy out but temps are supposed to be mid 60's today.

 ** Right now I am **

Finally, not beating myself up about being so far behind on EVERYTHING!

** OOTD **

Light Leggings & lightweight long sleeve shirt, I work Gift Shop this morning.

** Thinking and pondering [how I'm feeling] **

Relieved knowing we'll be getting our PurrKid later.

I don't feel like I was depressed but I do know I was feeling ''unsettled'' the last few weeks. 

 

** What I'm reading **

Regretfully, Nada... 

** TV Shows this week **

I know the TV has been on, what exactly we've watched I haven't a clue.

** Menu Plan **

 Crockpot meals mainly.

** Meals at Home **

We've ate at home nightly, what exactly I don't remember.

** No unNecessarySpend Challenge Update **

 I lost track😦, I was hoping to have everything ready to start ''My 2027'' year on November 1st, but that didn't happen. $$ review is in the works.

** Action Items**

I resumed making my ''list'' of things to get done, and It's a LOT of catching up...Not entirely sure how much will get done since this is the week I have volunteer spots to work at the Gift Shop.

** Today's Motivation **

** Something fun to share **

I was grateful for the ''Kid''(front) and my other 2 runners kids for the support during Turkey Trails.

** Next Up **

I am Soooo far behind with yearly mileage as well,😬. So this winter challenge is exactly what I need.
