suzeanna Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I hope Nog rallies Snow, I'm sure you are doing everything possible for him. Hope all other poorly people and pets (and roofs!) soon rally, special thoughts for Griff, struggling not only with her health but a new pup. I've got my appointment for the mammogram and ultrasound, next Monday at 3.20. My daughter isn't happy, the insurance company have written their car off, they'll get £1000. Not much to buy another one with. Her roof is leaking too, it's all coming into the bedroom and on the landing. Oh the joys of home ownership!

Has your daughter checked the vakue of her car in something like Glass's guide? She is entitled to recieve the amount needed to buy the equivalent car. We were offered £6000 for ours but when hubby pointed out the value in Glass's guide and that he had two adverts for the same make, model and year for £7500 he was immediately offered £7500. He also had printed off the page from the Financial Ombudsman http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-1722555/How-challenge-car-valuation-write-off.html http://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/publications/technical_notes/motor-valuation.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackmagic Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Keeping Snow and Nog in my thoughts. Griff, I hope you can get something sorted out. Luckily I have never had a dog who suffered separation anxiety. Good Luck on Monday, Suzeanna. Try not to worry too much. I was called back two years ago for an ultrasound and then they took a biopsy. The staff were very kind and the specialist nurse suggested she would phone me with the result as we lived 100 miles away from the hospital. I was on tenterhooks for three days but all was well. It is a fibro.....something another which does not need any treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooster Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Good luck on Monday Suzeanna - am sure everything will be fine Hope your daughter gets her car sorted as well Am waiting for a phone call from a practice I have worked at who want to chat to me about some more days. I need to go out. They will be phoning me on my mobile, but it's Sod's law that they will ring me when I am driving, or queuing in the post office to collect my meerkat and can't juggle diary, phone and meerkat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Insurance companies can be right so and so's, i agree you have to look the cost of replacing the car up...like for like as best as possible. my aunties car got trashed by hailstorms and she asked about if they wrote it off how much would they be looking at, it was £2000 under what it would cost her to get an equivalent car, luckily they agreed to make good the damage. Good luck with your appointment, i will send nothing nasty thoughts your way. Thanks for the good thoughts, i do think things have just caught up with me i have had a lot of stress and worry since before xmas and so i haven't been sleeping too well and i am struggling to figure out if i have a bug or a flare up and if i ask the dr she will send me to the hospital so i need to get a puppy sitter in place just in case.

Yantan Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 All positive thoughts being sent for Nog Griff I hope you feel better soon and get a better night's sleep tonight to help make up I only cacked the till up twice in the shop I had to resort to adding up in my head at one point and the customer was very impressed that I could do it and do it so fast. She also commented that it was lovely to get her change counted back to her instead of being bundled into her hand. That was how it was done in my day. I guess you never forget. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merledogs Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 How is your shoulder doing Alex? It's better than it was, but I am going to the doctor tomorrow anyway cos I've taken fugees' advice and hopefully getting it sorted Got a contract signed today which has caused me no end of problems pulling it together, mainly because the bloke who I am dealing with is a complete feckin arse and hasn't got a clue what he's doing. Got our director to sign the contract and then got a phone call saying that they had missed something out which will cost more money. I told him there had better be a credit to go with it to offset the cost or else I have a feeling though that he's messed up again and we are going to have to pay £10k extra cos of his c*** up. I am not happy Snow - thinking of you and nog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Thank you - it wasn't the news we wanted or hoped for, nor as it turned out was it anything to do with his digestive system. The speciaist vet had problems when examining him in finding his heart beat, although Nog was on his feet at this point and alert, it was a worrying sign. We left Nog with her to be scanned and we intended to come home as we didn't expect to hear much until tomorrow, however, whilst we went for a coffee she did the scan straight away, sadly what she found was that his chest was full of blood so much so his heart had been pushed back, she aspirated the chest and scanned again and found a large mass in his chest and signs of multiple smaller lumps in his lungs. It was clearly malignant and bleeding, and whilst we could have brought him home for a few more days 2 or 3 at the most, he would have had to have been on large doses of painkillers and his chest would have been slowly refilling with blood. There was nothing they could do to save him and we felt it would have been totally wrong of us to have brought him home only to have to battle with him and stress him out trying to give him medication just for our selfish needs. Hannes his orthopedic surgeon was there, along with the nurses who treated him 5 years ago, Nick was with us, and so it felt appropriate to allow Nog to go to sleep surrounded by people who knew and loved him. We are utterly devastated, to be honest I don't have the words to describe just how bereft we feel, Rob and I have been sobbing all the way home dreading coming back to an awful empty house filled with Nog everywhere we look. Nog was my soul dog, we were honoured to have shared our lives with him for almost 12 years - I only wish it could have been longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
