3Dogs

Mr 3Dogs started the day ok. Alarm went off at 8 am and he got up about 8.30 to have shave and shower. However he couldn't manage a shave as he couldn't stand and lean over the basin long enough. He did have a shower, but came back into the bedroom feeling rotten and in pain. I did our breakfast cereal and he could only eat half. I gave him his morning meds including the new slow release morphine and he went back to bed. After a half hour he was still in pain so I gave him some orimorph and he tried to get some rest

He slept on and off but the pain remained, and he had his lunch-time meds and orimorph and slept a bit more. I went out to take a king size mattress to the tip - you should have seen me getting that out of the house, to the car, and into the back of the car :eek: You would have laughed, and cried, at the struggle I had but I did it and now it is gone :j. I then called at Tosco as my disabled neighbour had asked if I could get a couple of bits and when I got home, I found that the doctor had tried to ring me about 10 minutes before I got in. It was pointless trying to ring back as he would have just been trying between appointments. I did think he may ring later but he didn't, so will have to wait until he rings or comes tomorrow

I have just settled Alan in bed - he has had all his meds today and his last orimorph but is in agony with the sharp pain in his right side if he moves so much as an inch. There is nothing more I can give him or do for him, except try to make him comfy, and I am sitting here in tears typing this as I feel so useless and he is in such pain

I will have to ring the surgery first thing and ask the doc to ring as soon as possible. He did prescribe 10mg and 15 mg but told him to take the 10 mg to see if that is enough, but it looks like he needs the stronger dose ...... and I think I will give him that in the morning

So I've done no catching up today - I may do a little now but wwill be in bed soon so will say goodnight now and hope that tomorrow brings a better day

Aww 3 Dogs. Big hugs and kisses out to you. You really are what life is all about - a tribute to the love and car in the world - testimony to the good in life.

I really do hope Alan feels better with an increased dose.

Best wishes. :kisses3:

Oh 3Dogs, I wish, like many others on here I am sure, that I could do something to help
You are doing a wonderful job. I hope that the dr can give him something stronger to help him. Wishing you a peaceful night xx

Hello 3dogs, sorry to hear Alan is in pain.

Sending you big box of kleneex and a hug.

Where are you? Sorry for 20 questions but we are looking for a pup at the mo! Dog trust has just rung for us to go look at a Lurcher pup but I dont really know much about the breed and not sure it would be right for us. We were hoping for a Lab or if we're really lucky a Weimaraner, but we just missed out on one of those by 2 days so dont think they will get one in again anytime soon.

I've got a lurcher, she is the lazyest thing about. We take her for an hour max to run round the park and by that time is up she's fit for nothing, lays on the back seat of the car, sometimes has to be coaxed out to go into the house where she finds a comfy spot and sleeps for hours or until dinner time comes around :rotfl:

The only problem we have is steping around her and getting dirty looks from her when we clean up around her.
They are fantastic pets for people who don't have loads of time to walk them as they do most of their exercise in short quick bursts.
my cousin has my dogs bro and sis along with a small lurcher, 4 lab crosses, a boarder terrier and a collie along with my lurcher and boxer cross. He said that if he had got the lurchers sooner he would have stuck to that breed because they're easily looked after

3dogs, I do feel for you. Watching the pain is the worst part. I've not said anything on here before but my mum has terminal cancer, its in her bones. The pain is so upsetting to us as no amount of drugs stop her wincing and she was tough, my mum so I know it must be agony. She's having up to 2 x 25 morphine slow release patches and oramorph/ liquid morphine as needed.

Heat patches can help - have you tried?

Hows his eating?

You are doing an amazing job. Its hard and its horrible, but you, my dear are doing so well - he is so lucky to have you x x x x

I just fancied em, I really did!!

I just redeemed myself with this. Only one spud....I did eat the whole pack of chicken but it was the finest butter breast one and fat content was almost nothing. Also added NO salt even tot he spuds to counter the salt on the chips earlier. Oh the gravy was tesco finest beef, port and thyme gravy.....and yeah i know its beef gravy on chicken, but gravy is gravy to me!

This bloody healthy diet thing is gonna be the death of me!!!!

This has made me hungry now - looks lush

3Dogs, I always read your posts but rarely reply because I don't know what to say but I do think of you both even when I am not on here. Anyway, sending you my love.

Karen, you too are now in my thoughts. We are all here for you. x
