Wednesday November 11th (aka Veteran's Day & Much, Much More)

[Cleo]

Greenie, that is a really fucked up day.

I have a friend that has been on the kidney donor list for some time. They did this really odd surgery on his arm bringing a bunch of blood vessels together to make one big one so that it is easier for him to do dialysis.

Went bowling last night in a toy drive for tots. Had a really good time.


Just my usual day of work and whatever planned for today before attending a business networking Meetup this evening.

So, to the vet we go...

Rufus Pip Update: The vet thinks he somehow tore his Cranial Cruciate Ligament (the dog version of our ACL) and she discovered that he has a slight heart murmur So she took some xrays, gave us some anti-inflammatory meds for his knee, and now we have to call the specialists at the vet hospital. He'll be 10 in March, so I doubt we're gonna do any surgery on his knee, and my fingers are crossed we can find a reasonable way to deal with his heart. The hits just keep on coming!
