Well, I am a little sore this morning.

Well, I am a little sore this morning.

I've been making Tasha sleep in the floor at night because she moves around trying to make circles and I'm afraid that she'll fall off the couch and hurt herself.  During the day when I can watch her, though, I've let her have the couch.  Well, she woke me up about 7 this morning and didn't want anything that I offered her.  She then went to an empty spot on the couch (near my feet because I can't take the whole thing up 😂) and started getting up there.  I just let her.

Before I knew it I was in the way of her getting comfortable, so I ended up on her pallet in the floor while she stretched out on the couch.  I'm beginning to think someone is milking her surgery for all the special treatment she can get!

Just looked in the mirror...

Just looked in the mirror... my black eye is turning all sorts of colors and moving to the crease of my eyelid.  It's starting to look like a fancy make-up job!  😂😂😂

This morning...

This morning Nappy is eating pretty well, and getting up a lot more on her own, and with less trouble.  I woke up to a big slobbery face in my face - she got up to tell me she was thirsty!  That's a first!  Seems like she is on the right track!  I am so happy!

Woohoo!

Woohoo!  Nappy just got up in a hurry and made way to the door.  I opened it and let her out, and she peed!  I think we BOTH feel much better now!  😃

Ok, just talked to Dr. Epperson.

Ok, just talked to Dr. Epperson.  She said that Tash is probably fine - might be a little dehydrated, so keep the fluids coming.  We're both sure it hurts to squat right now anyway, so if she hasn't peed by tomorrow night, we'll have her checked out again.  I feel better!

Ok, home with Tash still.

Ok, home with Tash still. She can get around a little bit, even better with help. She got off the couch and pooped a little earlier, but hasn't peed in over 24 hours, despite drinking plenty.  I'm getting pretty worried.  Feel like expressing her bladder isn't the answer - if something is wrong, that doesn't exactly fix it.  Any suggestions?

I've slept off and on since about 10...

I've slept off and on since about 10, and so has Tasha.  She hasn't peed since about 6 pm yesterday, but she's been drinking.  I'm sure she has to go, but she could barely hold a squat yesterday so I think she's just holding it.  She's grunting and crying right now, and I can't tell what she wants to do.  She weighs almost as much as me so I can't just pick her up.  Not sure what to do.  🙁
