suzeanna Posted August 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Cellulitis, Griff? Ab's should sort it quickly. I have to be very careful of my arm that's devoid of lymph glands, keep it well moisturised and avoid cuts etc. Philip's op's manager at his work is a very worried woman, she has two half sisters she's very close to, last week the younger one (still a learner) was driving with a qualified driver next to her and her sister in the back seat and crashed...she was hurt but now out of hospital, but her sister was catapulted from the back into the windscreen. She's unconscious but every time they try to bring her out she gets very distressed and they are thinking brain damage. Let's hope both she and Angela manage to come back from this.

Yantan Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 You never know the minute do you. Hope the lady in the car accident recovers. What an awful time they are having in Texas with the floods. I see Trump is paying them a visit today. Dear dawg haven't they suffered enough! Griff I hope your bite trouble soon clears up.

suzeanna Posted August 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Griff, I don't like the sound of that at all. Go back to the doc, A&E, anything. You could have the start of sepsis. PLEASE GO! My daughter's friend over in Greece sounds as if she's on the final stretch of her life, I've copied this from an update her husband put on this morning:The 'Angels of Mercy' sorted Gerry out this morning but she seems sleepier and less coherent in her speech than of recent days. She is surviving now only on water, orange juice and love. I do hope Angela recovers, but conversely I hope for her husband's sake that Gerry passes on quickly. Poor woman..she had all the treatment available for breast cancer and yet this has happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yantan Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Morning. LOL at Jazz Archie had a walk with a little Czech dog, Ash, this morning. Ash is a miniature Schnauzer and is here on holiday from Prague with his Czech mum and British dad. His mum was walking him before breakfast at their B&B. What a lovely lady and Ash got on so well with Archie who showed him all the best spots in the park. Ooooh I see a little patch of blue sky! It's been so grey and overcast for so long here we need some better weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzeanna Posted August 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Morning all! It's raining here and has been since we woke up, but we took Candy to the park for her game anyway...she lives for chasing her ball, and a bit of rain doesn't bother her at all. Philip is on 10.30 start 7 finish this week, so it's too dark by the time he's got home and eaten a meal to take her then. I'm keeping an eye on the weather in Texas, we have a friend in Austin but so far she's still sending me lives on Candy Crush Soda, so either she's ok, or up a tree with her laptop!

blackmagic Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 We have a warm dryish spell for the last 6 weeks. When we have had showers it has absolutely poured down. Suzeanna, when JIm saw the oncologist after his op he told us that the biopsies on the lymph glands that were removed had 4 suspicious out of 17. That gave him a 25% chance of spread. Chemo, which he recommended, reduced that to 18%. But there were no guarantees with cancer, it could spread after chemo or it could not spread without chemo. Jim was not in any condition for chemo at that time as he was waiting for an op to remove the adrenal gland and the activity of the gland made chemo a no go. However, he was quite definite that he considers he does not need chemo. He has his 6 month follow up next month and has had a CT and blood test so fingers crossed there is no bad news. I am trying to get him to take Golden Paste- Turneric paste- as Turmeric has been found to be effective in breast cancer and bowel cancer. cases. One report said it could be as effective as chemo without the side effects. BBC did a programme about it. Apparently, it attacks the cancer cells. I already give it to the dogs for its anti inflammatory properties and am going to try it myself for my sciatica. The situation in Texas is terrible with no sign of it letting up soon. How do you recover from something like that? Houses being destroyed is bad enough but the very infrastructure of the place is devastated. Sad news about the ladies in hospital. The dogs go the groomers tomorrow and it is not before time. Both of them are casting so much I am surprised they have any coat left. I combed both yesterday and got a football sized pile from each of them. No wonder my floors are covered in tufts of hair. They often look half the size when they have been done. Murphy gets all the fuzzy dead coat clipped out as it doesn't comb out and looks black again instead of having a brown fuzzy covering. Cleo gets a 'blow dry' with the blaster. Her coat comes out like clouds of candy floss and goes everywhere. the last time we collected them the groomer was standing in a pile of blonde hair she had combed out after the blaster. And I hate dog hairs! Why do I ave two hair beasts? I used to think dalmatian hairs were bad- we lost Hovis 6 years ago but I still found dalmatian hairs in the car boot last week.- but GSD hairs are worse. We are going to Blair Atholl for the weekend for JIm's shooting weekend. He is not shooting yet but is going to socialise. I hope it is dry as spending two days on an open hill in the rain is no fun.

suzeanna Posted August 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 I'll keep my fingers crossed for dry weather for you at the weekend. When Philip used to go clay pigeon shooting, it was dire in wet weather! I hope the CT scan comes back clear, you've both been through a lot and it's time for good news. I had 27 lymph nodes removed and 15 of them had cancer cells..but then, 12 didn't! I might look into the turmeric, do you take it as tablets, or put it on food or what? Talking of hairy dogs, I watched Dog Rescuers last night, one dog which really didn't look like a dog at all..you couldn't see her eyes, her legs, anything, just a huge mass of matted fur. Turned out to be a shih Tzu, and the matted fur they cut off weighed more than she did. How anyone can let a dog get into that state beats me, it doesn't take that long to groom your dog daily if it's a coated breed, when I had several poms they were all brushed daily.
