Louis, Poo, Ticks and My Lost Vascular Surgeon


Hi there friends!
Sorry I haven't been bloging in a few day. I have been worried alot and that takes my focus away, therefor no bloging.
The worry this time was, as I mentioned a bit in my last entry, Louis. He has had a doddgy stomcha with some blood in his stool. No good, but not as bad for a K) or a feline as for a human being! Dogs and cats are more prone to irritations in their stomachs and bowls, and they also are more prone to bleed a bit when they have crapy stool for a few days. So that is, basicly, what was wrong with Louis but I jsut get so worried as we almost lost him just before christmas last year. He got a very bad bost of a bugg called clostridie and just bleed and bleed. We had to take him to the vets office and he was addmitted for two days. The first day they didn't know what was wrong as he bleed alot out of his bowl and they tought I might loose my dear Louis. Thouh, the bleeding stopped and Louis bounced back. Thouh the bouncing back took almost 5 months!! A side effect of Louis being this ill was that his pancreas took a tool and he got an inflamation in his pancreas.

You can't cure problems with your pancreas, not in human and not in animals... We have been giving Louis a new dog food called "Royal Canine Gastro Intestinal" and that has helped Louis to get back to his happy, bouncy self!! He has been doing very well since April-even if the test says he might not be doing so great... Thouh a vet we know who wroks at Din Veterinär told me not to listen to Djursjukhuset and just let Louis live and love life as he always has!! Louis has been doing great; eats, drings, plays, take long walks and is just as happy as a dog can be!!
So, whenever he gets in to a "low" like this or anything els that makes his health waver I get worried beyond boundries!!! Louis is my everything and all I want for him is to be healthy and happy!! That he can enjoy life, unlimitied, and just be as happy as a dog can ever be!

Together Louis and I managed to cure him with rest and food that's kind to his bowl such as over boiled rise, boiled chicken (as he eats every day anyway), caned dog food instead of dry food and loads of carrots!!
We have just been taking short alks, to Louis dissapointment!! We have only used a short leach and not his flexi-5 meter leach. By now Louis is pretty agitated with me, he only wants t run off leach or on his long leach and sniff other dogs doings. Thouhm he needs to rest his nervs ;-)

Cuddling Louis while writing I found a tick...Auuuugh!!! Need to go into tick-removing mood!! The problem this time is that it's on his....balls... Really!!! How did it manage!!!

Me, I'm doing okey. Headache as ever. Tierd and a bit down about tomorrow being Monday, allready, and that meens a new week with new appointments. Thouh, I'm ready! Went shpooing yesterday, Saturday, at Väla (huge shpooing centre 30 minutes by buss from where I live). Felt that I needed new lingerie so that I feel more confidente standing there infront of my physio whe she is messuring every single joint in my body, so that I feel confident when I'm going through my laser treatment on the 19th of this mont and so that I feel confident enought to go see all doctors I need to go see. It's hard to explain, but if you like me go see alot of medical professionals you know that some of your confidence really is in what you are wearing! And when you are barely wearing nothing it's even more important to feel good about yourself!
What I found ws a lovely cocholate brown Bra and cocholate brown boxer underwaears, very feminine, with Versaile patterns.  I'm not a very feminine person and really not a person who likes to buy girly langerie so what I found was great!!!

I did also do some other shopping such as a lovely long sleeved milk with top from Esprit, orange tights and a torch! Louis loves his midnight walks so I need a torch to be able to find his doings, the keey hole and Louis himself ;-) !!!
I did really need a bit of a shopping spree and, honestly, it was lovely to go by myself! I wish I had a bit of spare money so that I could go on yet another spree and buy the things I really couldn't afford... I need a wool sweeter/cardigan fo this winter. It's sooo darn cold here!! I do also need a jacket. I'll cross my fingers I win on the lottery, which I'm never playing on, or that I'll manage to find someone with mercy- lol! Well, I'm saving and maybe next month!! Or start up a fond for supporting...long walks with Louis = warm clothes!! Hihihi!! Bless!

Oh, I have forgott to tell you! I called the office of my vascular surgeon to get an appointment to go see him. The nurse tolf me "he's retierd!"
Whhhaaaaaaaatt!!! It felt like someone was punching me in my stomach!!
 That can't be! He has been my surgeon for over 15 years and all of a sudden he's just not there anymore.... I have been refered to the doctor filling in for him, but the nurse told me that this doctor is far from as good as dr Lindblad was. What the f*ck!! How the hell can they let a KT-patient see a doctor who barely knows a vein from a capilary!!! Lord, have mercy on me!!
I'm very sad... A vascular surgeon in the life of a KT:er is like Jesus in the life of a Christian!
I have to ask my plastic surgeon to help me find a new surgeon who is close to the caliber that dr Lindblad had! I really thought that specialist doctors never retierd!!! Honestly......

So, that tick on Louis'es...privat parts... Really need to get that sorted! Then I'm gone call this a day!
Mum has been here almost all day heping me cleaning my appartemnt. There are things I can't do by myself and once per month Mum comes and help me with that. Such as cleaning on shelfs, cleaning my floors thoroughly and help me cary heavy things around. I'm greatful that she had the chans to help me!!
We had chinese for lunch and after walking Louis we sat down in our soffa and treated ourself to my freshly baked cocholate muffins!!

Keep up the good work
