Surgery for Gracie and Vertigo for Me

Gracie will have her surgery this afternoon.  She shook all the way down there this morning...  Like..  she knows what is coming down.  

As for me...  

Vertigo...  

It started at the vets office and now I am just trying to hang on (literally).

I always try to stay away from medication.  But the doc prescribed Meclizine.  I took 1/2 of one.  Hope it helps.  

Please say a prayer for Gracie today...    


"For the love of Dogs woman...  I'm just minutes away from being called back to prep for my surgery today and you are taking PICTURES?"  


UPDATE:

GRACIE IS OUT OF SURGERY.  SHE IS DOING FINE.  HOPE TO GET HER HOME TOMORROW.  THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND GOOD THOUGHTS.

on Shopping.

Sharing my Facebook post for tonight.  This was my day.


Bon Ton Aggravation Take Ten: When you wait all week to take advantage of your $50 off of $100 coupon and you carefully and painstakingly select just the right bargain for the day and after half an hour of comparing prices and making sure your final merchandise will be accepted for coupon use you stand in line for 20 minutes holding 4 heavy skillets and your $50 off coupon and the 96YO cashier is talking to the customer in front of you about all the great buys she is getting today and how she can even save more if she digs into the bottom of her purse and finds yet another coupon that is lost there and then she talks about some other things that are of little importance to her job and your hands and arms start shaking because the pans are heavy and finally another cashier opens another register and says I will take the next customer here and you go over there and ask can I use this coupon and she says sure you can and then she scans the skillet and says sorry, this is an exceptional value but it didn't say it was an exceptional value and who can read that teeny tiny print on the back anyhow and then she scans the other pan and says sorry, another exceptional value so you rip the coupon up and toss it in the trash on the way out and swear you will never shop there again.

Surgery for Gracie


Dear Diary,  It started out great.  I was going in the Buick and I was going to get to see Dr. Fox.


But things turned quickly bad when we got there.  First some strange lady stuck something up my butt. So I tried to bite her. (I missed).


Then Dr. Fox made some moves that I found inappropriate so I tried to bite him too.  It was around about that time that Mom asked for a muzzle. 


Now,here's the really bad news.  Doc says I need to have surgery next Tuesday to remove more stones in my bladder.  He gave Mom some antibiotics for me to take until then.  Mom and me are sad.  Daddy is sad too.


Why does life have to be so hard?  Gracie.
