Sorta’, Kinda’, Maybe, but Not Really

Wasted days and wasted…  The good news is, Mugsy doesn’t have any dread diseases in his lungs either.  The bad news is, we have no definitive diagnosis.  It’s not just allergies.  It’s not a collapsed trachea.  It’s not chronic bronchitis, no matter how much it sounds like it.  We spent the entire day in Richmond for that news, and a broad-spectrum de-wormer that will be waiting for us at our primary vet - the one we claimed last Monday – tomorrow, on the off chance it’s a parasite.  The test for parasites (the itty-bitty live in the lungs kind) is expensive and requires anesthesia, and at 12+, Mugsy doesn’t need the risk when the cure has comparably fewer side effects. 

For Anne,  I did get one whole repeat of the secret lace do-whop done while I waited.

Now, we must go to town because the new toilet the Knight installed in my bath needs a longer supply line.  And he needs a new cell phone battery.  The things that make the world go ’round…

Tomorrow’s not looking good for knitting content either.  Dentist at noon, Junior League at 6:30pm.  I don’t know how you full-time moms do it.   I have one dog, with one medical circle-jerk, and I’m craving a full work week with no appointments and time to blog.

    It’s not easy and I get frustrated when I don’t have my 10 minutes to an hour to check up on everyone in blog world.

    Hey! I’m back, & I finally got a minute to catch up on everyone’s blog. I’ve been traveling over the past weekend…
    I’m glad that they haven’t found anything bad with Mugsy. I hope he is feeling better soon & not coughing so much.
    I know how you feel, I don’t know how those moms do it either!! I’m exhausted & I don’t remember doing all that much! ha ha!

    I’m glad they didn’t find anything. I’m just trying to assume “no news is good news”. :-) Although, come to think of it, I always hated it when the doctors would say that! LOL

    I know how you feel. It was before Thanksgiving the last time I updated my blog. Ugh.

    Oh, hun, I’m sorry. I know that it’s no solace getting no news to help, given how he’s been sounding :( I’ll keep hopin and praying they find something, or at least find the old boy some relief. I’m glad you squeezed in a repeat though – trust me, it’s looking gorgeous, just get Mark to help ya stretch it all out to see. LHP

    Chan – well, at least it isn’t bad new on Mugsy. You just make time, give up a little sleep, and remember above all to breathe and be nice to you. g

    I want to know how they all do it too. We just do what we can, and the rest will follow in time, right? Although I wish you got a firm diagnosis on Mugsy, I’m glad the news wasn’t bad.
