Been a long time since we have posted. Tuffy is recovering nicely from her almost bout with DKA. She worked her way up to 4.5 units and is now on the downward slide. Of course, being Tuffy she is now throwing the 30s that she loved to do. We are adjusting the dose by drops. Will she return to OTJ? Who knows, she is happy, healthy, demanding, the Queen, and playing. Tuffy went off the wagon while I was in the hospital. She gave me quite a scare. Now she is acting very normal. Thank heavens.
We have a new patio dweller and she is raising the dickens about him/her. It is a big black cat, don't know male or female but it comes to sleep on the chair about 2:00 a.m. She is out of the bed and trying to open the door and really raising a ruckus. Another thing she is doing recently when out with the rest of the crew. She plants herself by the toy basket and pick different toys to play with. If one of the others venture near, she smacks them. When she is playing no one else is allowed near the toys. Back in her role as Commander in Chief. I was working on a wool vest the other day and she kept trying to get the fabric. I made her a pillow with a wool cover and she loves it. She also has a down pillow and if it get chilly here she loves to snuggle in it.
My recovery continues well. I am back to doing the barn 3 days a week and a friend is having heart problems so I'm taking care of her 3 in the morning. All the exercise is helping me build stamina. YEAH. Still doing therapy (at home) and still have a problem if I sit too long. Finally able to get socks and shoes on without pain so that is an improvement. As the hip muscles recover I should have full range of motion back. I can also sit in the saddle. I have not ridden yet but hopefully that is not too far down the road. I am still not allowed to lift over 10 lbs. so I move things in smaller quantities and several trips (hay, etc). Hopefully that restriction will be lifted when I return for a check up and x-rays in January.
Regards to all, sending vines to all kitties and beans that need them and prayers to Caryl.
Bless our veterans and all our forces on this special day.
