Waiting…

Meg has reached the stage where we’d be happy to move on now. She’s still on steroids and is likely to be for a while, but unfortunately she’s still a bit incontinent. She’s ok when she’s awake, but leaks when she’s asleep. Something we can manage, though.

While we were up here we decided Mags should have her annual review while we’re close to our doctor’s, so she went a week last Wednesday. We had a phone call from the surgery Friday saying that they needed to see her again as soon as possible, so we were back again on Tuesday. Her blood test results were not good, there may be a problem with her liver. So we’re now waiting for a hospital appointment for a CT scan. Should be sooner rather than later, hopefully. Until that’s done and the results assessed we can’t make any plans.

Meanwhile we’re still shuffling back and forth between Gargrave and Bradley, stopping for a few days in Skipton on the way through.

We’re back out at Bradley again for a few days, it’s a lot quieter here than in town.

It seems to be taking an awfully long time to do those 27¼ miles…DSCF4869

We can get to Airedale General easily from here by taxi, but if we don’t hear anything by next Tuesday we’ll have to head back to Skipton for supplies. A bit further to travel but quicker by car…

Oh, and I found a poor earth connection on the heater wiring, so the charging and domestic battery modifications I made a couple of weeks ago are doing the job just fine.

We’ve a fine, sunny morning today. Warm in the sun, cooler in the shade after a chilly night.DSCF4872

Fingers crossed that Margaret's bloods problem can be solved quickly. Love and big hugs to you both. xx

So sorry to hear that Mags is out-of-sorts, give her a big hug from me please :)

Good to know that Meg is stable again, great news, you'd better give her a bonio (other dog treats available) and a hug too :)

Whilst I'm handing out hugs I'll send you a well done pat-on-the-back for sorting your electrical issue too :)

Geoff I have to make sure I'm fully awake before starting my morning blog posts read. Somehow I jumped to the conclusion you'd taken Mags to the vet and now had her on steriods. Instantaneous vision of bow hauling followed! :-)

Meg is off her steroids now, but she had urgency problema while on them - she doesn't bark to be let out unfortunately, just looks at us, so we had a couple of accidents. We had to make sure we took her out twice before bedtime and straight out in the morning. Once the dose started to reduce the problem eased then stopped.
Best wishes to Mags too.
