The tear was worse than the doc thought, but it's all cleaned up. Now, let the healing begin. Thanks for all the good thoughts and vibes. I really needed them. Littens are simply the best. 💛💜🧡

Surgery's over.
Meds are kickin' in ... and Pip
is on guard duty.

I Don't Care | Julie Fogliano

#WDNCW @dabbe
We do not care that we left yesterday for our vacation and drove four hours to northeastern Arizona only to realize when we got there that we had left ALL of Pippa's seizure medications on the table at home in Phoenix. 😳

P.S. Thankfully, after hours on the phone, her neurological vet was able to send all the prescriptions to a pharmacy up here so that Matt didn't have to spend eight hours today retrieving them. #deepbreaths 😮‍💨

TheBookHippie 😬🥴 so glad it ended well! 1mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie @lil1inblue @LiseWorks @Aims42 @AmyG @Susanita ... now if we can only get her to take the damn things. She usually gobbles them down in mini-lean-ground-beef meatballs, but she ain't having any of it now. And she's been whining the whole time we've been up here. #pippadontlikechange
😅😅😅 1mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe WINNIE is just like this 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 1mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie We're about at our wits end with her. We don't want to shove the pills down her throat, but man! She can be difficult! 😅 1mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe flashbacks to squirt cheese with a pill in it 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 three of us trying to get the tiny pill in 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫🤣 1mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie Oh, Miss Winnie! 🖤🐾🖤 I'd try the squirt cheese, but she takes 24 pills a day. 😳 We cram three into each mini-meatball so she only has four because she's also a BIG girl. #oy 1mo

Rotator cuff tears
in two difference places.
Surgery to come.

TheBookHippie Ughhhhhhh it‘s so common menopause and post menopause!!! I‘m so so sorry…. Yuk 2mo

AmyG Well that sucks. 2mo

Susanita Ugh. I hope your healing goes smoothly. 2mo

See All 82 Comments

AnnCrystal No...not during your Birthday Month. 🙏🏼 Heal well 💝💝💝. 2mo

Amiable Ugh! I had rotator-cuff surgery about 10 years ago. Do you have a recliner? That was the most comfortable place to sleep for the first 8 weeks afterwards. 2mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie #thistooshallpassright #right? 😅 2mo

dabbe @AmyG My primary doc would tell me that my body's letting me know I'm alive. #oy 🙄 2mo

dabbe @Susanita #metoo (not the movement, well, you know!) 😂 2mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal IKR? #woeisme or is it #woeisi? 🤔 😅 2mo

dabbe @Amiable No, I don't. 😩 Think I'll have to start looking for one. 😅 2mo

JenlovesJT47 Ugh I‘m sorry! I have labral tears in both shoulders (and possibly my hip I dislocated 😣) so I know it‘s rough. Wishing you a successful surgery with many excellent books to keep you company afterwards. Dunno what I would have done all these years if I hadn‘t been working at an ortho doctors‘ office since I was 13 😆 (my mom works there still!!). 2mo

AmyG Your primary doc needs a better bedside manner! 🤣 2mo

TheBookHippie @Amiable oh yah I second the recliner!! 2mo

ChaoticMissAdventures Oh no!! That sounds so painful. I hope they can get you in soon and that it goes well. 2mo

IriDas Ugh, sounds terrible. I hope the surgery is successful 2mo

TheBookgeekFrau That just sucks 😖 2mo

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 Are you just living with your tears? 😱 I can't even imagine. And what can be done with your dislocated hip? Do you hope it pops back into place? 😱 I'm feeling for ya! 💙 2mo

dabbe @AmyG He's a wee bit younger. The bastard. 😂 2mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie @Amiable Good to know! Any recommendations? 2mo

dabbe @ChaoticMissAdventures I don't even get in to see him to chat about stuff until 7/22. Luckily, I have some pain meds. 😅 2mo

dabbe @IriDas TY! 💙 2mo

dabbe @TheBookgeekFrau It does. But I'm still above the ground and not underneath it, so that's a plus! 😅 2mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe I had frozen shoulder, but it‘s a lazy boy- friend currently borrowing -it but I made sure the material didn‘t make me too hot! 2mo

Leftcoastzen Sorry you have to go through that ! 2mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie So no leather, right? 😂 2mo

dabbe @Leftcoastzen TY! Another right of passage to being older and letting your German shepherd chase a bird and drag you to the ground. 😅 2mo

Susanita Did you throw too many curve balls? 😉 2mo

lil1inblue Oh, my! 😱 I hope that the surgery goes well and that you heal swiftly! But hopefully, you'll get some good guilt-free reading time! 2mo

Amiable @TheBookHippie @dabbe I commandeered my husband‘s for the duration, to his dismay. 😄 I think it was a La-Z Boy also. We don‘t have it anymore. Which arm are you doing? Make sure that you can reach the lever with your good side! 😬 2mo

Amiable Oh, also make sure to have a selection of big shirts that button up the front because you won‘t be putting your arm through a sleeve for a while. 2mo

ShelleyBooksie Oh no! Boo on doggy related injuries! Sending you healing vibes ♡♡♡ 2mo

JenlovesJT47 @dabbe thanks for asking! A dislocation didn‘t show on x-rays so I had to get an MRI. Seeing the doc next week. He thinks I might have a labral tear in my hip. That would be my luck for sure! Crutches kill me so I‘ve altered my gait & walk on my tiptoes on that side. Not fun. Sorry, that was probably more information than you were looking for! 😅 2mo

Amiable And ask the surgeon when you can start PT —as soon as possible to avoid frozen shoulder if you can. Ask about passive PT where the therapist moves your slack arm around for you. 2mo

AvidReader25 I‘m so sorry! Praying the surgery goes well! 2mo

Librarybelle Oh no! 2mo

AnnCrystal @dabbe I will leave this to the teacher 😂💝💝💝. 2mo

Sarahreadstoomuch I‘m so sorry! 2mo

Texreader 🙁 I sure hope you‘re doing ok and that surgery is successful. I hear it‘s all about the rehab. 2mo

Chrissyreadit ugh! No Bueno!!! I was able to use PT only for mine (thankful no surgery)and agree good PT is huge! hope your pain is not too much 2mo

Bookwormjillk Oh no! I agree with @Amiable on the rehab. It‘s torture but helpful torture. My other suggestion is to get yourself a back scratcher. Hope you can get it taken care of soon! 2mo

CBee @dabbe sounds like when my GYN told me to “ride it out” after I explained all of my menopause symptoms. Butthead. 2mo

TheBookHippie @Amiable YES PT!!!!! 2mo

dabbe @Susanita As if I could! No, Pip dragged me to the ground chasing a damn bird. 😅 2mo

dabbe @lil1inblue That's the plus to it all! TY. 💙🩵💙 2mo

dabbe @Amiable Another good point! It's my right one, the one I do everything with, of course! I can still move it, just not in certain directions. 😅 2mo

dabbe @Amiable Holy guacamole! TY! I don't have any button-ups; they're all pullovers. Here's a plus: time to go shopping! 😂 2mo

dabbe @ShelleyBooksie TY! 💙🩵💙 2mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal I think it's “Woe is I“ because if you put the sentence in the correct order of subject before verb, you say, “I am woe.“ Now that I've just done that, I should have said “Woe AM I.“ I need to review my grammar! 😅 2mo

dabbe @Texreader You instantly reminded me of Amy Winehouse's “Rehab.“
Obviously for very different reasons. TY! 💙🩵💙 2mo

dabbe @Chrissyreadit We'll see what his final opinion is, but the fact that there are two tears makes my primary doc think surgery would be better. Based on the f-in' big beautiful bill, I better get this done soon. 😅 TY for the kind words, m'dear. 💙🩵💙 2mo

Chrissyreadit fingers and toes crossed! 2mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk I am starting to make a list! Backscratcher: #mostexcellent TY 🩵💙🩵 2mo

TheBookgeekFrau @dabbe Truth!! And here's to it staying that way for a long time! 🥂💜 2mo

dabbe @CBee ESPECIALLY if your GYN was a female. 😤😂 2mo

dabbe @Chrissyreadit Definitely not shoulders! 🥰 2mo

CBee @dabbe nope, it‘s a dude. Too bad cause he was pretty cool before he said that 😂🫣🤪 2mo

dabbe @CBee Well, not only is that a dick-downer-for-women, but #patriarchylives even with the best of 'em! 2mo

julieclair Ugh. Hope you‘re not in too much pain while you wait to get it fixed, and your healing is smooth and speedy. 💙💙💙 2mo

Butterfinger I hate that. Keep us posted on your journey to feel better. 2mo

willaful Best of luck! 2mo

DebinHawaii Oh ouch! I am so sorry. Getting older really sucks sometimes. I will think healing thoughts. 💙💙💙 2mo

dabbe @DebinHawaii I'm so happy you said “older“ and not “old“! 😂 That means I still have lots of years left, right? 💙🩵💙 2mo

DebinHawaii @dabbe Hah! 😂 I hope so—for both of us! 💙💙💙 2mo

RosePressedPages The same thing happened to my dad a little while ago. He‘s still in a sling. Here‘s to hoping you‘ll have a speedy recovery 💙 2mo

kspenmoll Oh no, I am so sorry! I have shoulder surgery that entailed more than rotator cuff, & I was “older so recovery longer” ( plus it was on right side; I am right handed) but now I am so much better! Cleaned up arthritis, bone in bone while in there as well. You can do it! 2mo

dabbe @RosePressedPages TY! 💙💙💙 2mo

dabbe @kspenmoll You give me hope! I've got arthritis in there, too. Maybe I can get a whole clean-er-up-while-you're-in-there detail! 😂 2mo

Librarybelle I enjoyed this one too! I did kind of hope for a true supernatural element, which would have been unique, but it was a super fun story. Maybe I think so because vampire is in the title! 😂 3mo

eeclayton I enjoyed it, too. It had a Jane Eyre-ish vibe in the beginning, and I'm glad the lady didn't end up in the attic or a madhouse 😁 3mo

CogsOfEncouragement My favorite line from this one was when Watson sees his school mate is not physically what he once had been, and W states is was painful to see. The clever line that made me chuckle:
I fear that I roused corresponding emotions in him. 3mo

kelli7990 I enjoyed it. 3mo

Cuilin @CogsOfEncouragement great line! 3mo

Cuilin @eeclayton yes definitely a gothic vibe right down to young Jack and his poison arrow. 3mo

Cuilin @Librarybelle I was hoping for a bit more Vampiric lore. 3mo

Cuilin @kelli7990 it was a fun one. 3mo

dabbe @Cuilin @Librarybelle @eeclayton @CogsOfEncouragement @kelli7990 Sorry I'm a little late to the party. I enjoyed this one, too--WAY more than the last one, #oy! I found it interesting that the kid's name was Jack. “Jack“ is used is many folk tales (talking to you, Jack & the Bean Stalk) and usually involved a young adult male who is a trickster or rebel of sorts. In this one, he happens to want to kill. 🤷‍♀️ The name definitely fits! 3mo

lil1inblue I find them equally bad, but in different ways. I agree with @OutsmartYourShelf about those who shift with the wind. But those who are so unshakable in their faith that they can't open their minds to other ideas or views can be equally harmful. They deal in absolutes. 3mo

AnneCecilie I agree with @OutsmartYourShelf, you would never know if you can trust them, and in these changing times you need to be able to trust someone 3mo

I'm glad you gave pros for each side because I see both sides as well. There are pros and cons to both types of people, and I find it difficult to choose which is worse. It seems that Shardlake does, too. Boy, I would never be good on a debate team! 🤣 3mo

LiseWorks There is a verse in Revelations that talks about people who are neither hot nor cold. Christ doesn't like it. And the Protestants today still believe in the antichrist. I think I would have lived as far away from the castle as possible, lol. 3mo

dabbe @LiseWorks I'm intrigued. What do you mean by Christ not liking “it“? He doesn't want people to be lukewarm?

And yeah, I'd live as far away from the castle as I could. I also would have avoided the London Bridge with all the poled heads, too. #oy 3mo

LiseWorks @dabbe Revelation 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, nether cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 3mo

dabbe @LiseWorks Holy guacamole, Batman! 😱 3mo

Deblovestoread @lil1inblue nailed it. You can‘t trust the shifters because they really believe in nothing and those with unshakable faith often refuse to respect anyone who is different…much like today. 3mo
