I held my 16 year old in my arms today after she passed. I made an irreversible decision this morning and I feel guilty, heartbroken and I want her back in my house. Just this morning I took outside. She sniffed, she even ran or walked fast a little bit. I’ve lost many dogs and cats in my life and for some reason this is the hardest one.
Hi everyone. I don’t know how to start this post so I’ll go straight into complaining. I have so many different health issues and I’m normally proactive, I research like mad, I overthink, and I find and implement best practices. Among other things I have sleep apnea, treated, and IBD, treated with biological infusions. I have chronic fatigue and this is where an LPN diagnosis is just too exhausting to deal with! I have been on a PPI for what I considered to be a mild sore throat, but when I stopped taking the PPI, the throat irritation was hard to live with so I’m back on it. I also have gaviscon handy (the recommended one -I’m Canadian.)
So I am thinking that treating this properly might help my other health issues and if it helps my fatigue that would be life changing. My bad habits are eating smokies and onions and drinking wine, air fried frozen fries and ketchup, avocados peanut butter on toast every day, eating snacks after dinner and before bed. Coffee in the morning. I bought koufmans book and it will arrive tomorrow. I have aviv’s book on kindle. I plan to start this on Wednesday and getting prepared with grocery shopping , weaning off coffee, and stopping my eating at 6 pm . The hardest part for me I think is stopping the eating after dinner, and I am usually more successful with some sort of support group.
