Another "How are you" post...
Y'all hangin' tough?
= new reply since forum marked as read
All ok here, thanks for asking.
How are you?
Good to see you! Glad you're doing well!
As for me, two weeks of vet stuff (so far) - he was sick about a week before that... two different issues, he had dental surgery yesterday, been being nurse and nutritionist, etc. Pills, mouth squirts, and needles - and trying to get him to eat something, anything! 
So I'm pretty weird right now! 
Who are you talking about? Dog? Horse? Human?
My senior cat. I kinda continued here from another thread's post.
That does make it a bit incomplete, doesn't it? I usually try not to do that. I guess that's a result of where my mind is. Scattered big time.
I thought perhaps I'd missed a previous thread.
Awwww sweet kitty. It is tough when they get older for sure.
Take a few minutes & do several deep, diaphragmatic breaths, focusing on the nice, cool air you are breathing in. That can really help to recenter yourself.
It doesn't help that he spit out that huge, huge clot as soon as he walked out of the carrier, accompanied with enough blood that you'd swear I massacred an entire clowder! He ran around, still disoriented from the anesthesia, and just kept on spitting out blood - I've been cleaning a lot along with everything else.
I'm not complaining - this is my "son" after all, but it's sure affecting me crazily. My RA has chosen this time of stress to flare hard, too. That sucks, big time. I hurt so bad!
Yikes! This wasn't supposed to be about me; I was concerned for you guys! Breathing... breathing... screaming... breathing...
Luv y'all!
Now exhale.
Can you put kitty in his carrier to contain the mess? It probably will also encourage him to rest.
It is great to vent, SunRiser! We all do it from time to time.
feel bettter and eat normal . He had ckd so I was worried
I had liquid food for the 2nd day I think . First day home he was not interested in anything . Possibly still hungover from the anesthesia that first day . Always a fight with meds but that was expected
I hope for a good outcome for you and kitty
He is doing better today, but still convalescing (sp?). My vet's office is pretty darn good at calming terrified pet parents, too. They assured me he wasn't actually bleeding to death, and that it was OK if I had to skip a med for a few hours when he's just not having any part of it.
CKD is an incredible challenge. I so admire the dedication it takes to handle it properly - it ain't easy.
Thanks for the boost.
to get their pills and squirts down.
Hope yours is better soon!
I can't do that to him right now. I'm too afraid the struggling would take too much of what little energy he has right now. Besides, it would likely start the bleeding again.
I swear he's holding up better than I am!
Thanks for asking.
So pleased for you, love. 
Big thumbs up! 
👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
What are those potato looking emoticons in your post? I know they've gotta' mean something sweet, but my feeble mind can't figure them out...
Its a group hug. lol
When you click on one to insert it into a message, it tells you the meaning. The potatoes above show : grouphug : without the space between : & word.
is : hug :
: silly :
etc.
No, I understand those. The ones in the middle of the row along the bottom of your post #9 lose me. Three , six "potatoes", and a .
I'm sorry to bother you with it. I'm dense sometimes, but I just don't see those in the middle listed in the smilies, and can't seem to recognize what they're supposed to be.
Sorry for the confusion.
3 thumbs up & 6 clapping hands. Not DU emojis.
I must say, though DU has the absolute best emojis!
I especially love this one:
I just couldn't recognize it to save my life!

It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to call - that it came on so quick might be good? Have you had your flu shot?
Please feel better! I'm commanding good vibes of every sort to begin coming at you from all directions!
Edited to add: Your doc might want to get some Tamiflu into you, but it has to be quick, within 72 hours of starting symptoms, I think. Do call and see what they think, AFAIK, it couldn't hurt.
Please call your doc? Sending healthy vibes your way!
Were you able to contact your doctor?
I have taking acetaminophen and am afebrile. I haven't been coughing but I do have an audible wheeze and oddly feel dizzy. I was able to find my pulse oximeter packed away from my old home health work kit and incredibly the battery is still working. My O2 has been registering from low of 88 to high of 95 so that may explain the dizziness.
I will see how I'm doing Monday and call the doctor then. I am usually hesitant about going to the doctor in good times because of an autoimmune disease and I really don't want to go now. I did speak with a friend who told me about a telemedicine opportunity and am strongly considering that as my best option.
It means so much for you to check on me. Thank you. I hope you are doing well and stay that way. These are scary times, there is no doubt.
❤
It attacked me, too. (Sleep, that is.)
I hope you're doing OK. Are you eating? Getting some soup into you if no real appetite?
Had asked about flu 'cause it seems like it can sometimes jump on 'ya quicker than a mugger in a dark alley. I sure get not wanting to risk going to the doc, was thinking more along the lines of them calling something in for you and then maybe someone could deliver it to you or pick it up for you.
O2 is a bit shaky, low enough for many people to get dizzy. Is that better today? Are you at all asthmatic? Have an inhaler or nebulizer at home if you need it?
Boy, I'm full of questions, ain't I? Just concerned about you, dear. Hope to see you soon...
The feelings of accomplishment and cheer are an awesome balm.
WTG! A great way to reach out of our isolation, and I'll just bet she was so tickled to hear from you, not to mention surprised.
Hope the sun is shining where you are.....
