Why was Sheila PINK all over???????

[DeeDee and Sheila]

OWWIEEE Guys! I just had my second rotator cuff/labrum surgery done last Fri. It hurts so much more than the other one I had done six years ago. I'm older and dr. said joint just about worn out. He showed me all these pretty pictures of his work (he was so proud of himself) and I must have looked 1/2 dazed (yes, I did have to succomb to hydrocordone) so he said, basically you had bone removed, spurs removed and a shave and a haircut!! This is first time i've typed so forgive errors.

BIG MOTTO: Do not let these guys pull your shoulders to death like I did (plus carrying babies, tennis, etc). because the surgery SUCKS and drugs aren't all they are cracked (haha) up to be.

Anyway, you free going west coasters and Mainers----are your pets potheads??????? Giggle giggle. I was telling my vet daughter who is all of 27 that while I was laying in bed, I was reading about legalized Amerijuana in Time Magazine (Colo, Cal, Nev, Ore, ME and Alaska) and that maybe I would have preferred a marijuana gummy bear over a stupid Vicodin that basically just makes you sleepy and nauseous==pain free==but still. Mari sounded like more fun from this article, they make it in brownies, coffee, and have boutiques for it now in COLO. The dispensers or budtenders (drug dealers in my day) have names for their brands like Purple Avalanche, AK47, and they dont' use the word "high". Its called the called the air quote.

So what does this have to do w/ doodles? Shelley (vet daughter in second year of practice in a tony part of Dener-she is NOT tony) says that all the vets there are very used to treating pets that have gotten into the mariguana bread or brownies, and are brought in high. A parrot pecked a laced lollypop and kept falling off his stand. But the serious (not that mary isn't, its just not many die from it) are the pets brought in that have gotten into the COKE stash and she says the METH cases are the worst. And the vets can tell the difference between them, some produce jitteriness, highs, lows , anyway its a real mess. And they have to get the clients to fess up and assess how much was ingested in order to treat them.

AS I LIVE AND BREATHE. Nancy, Adina---doYOU guys have anything to confess!!!! I totally feel old, out of touch and I'm sort of glad of it--to be an ole nerd mom I mean.

I thought it was bad when Sheila got into the pink magic marker one day and got her beautiful fur all pink. She was such a mess!!! She has brought me all sorts of "gifts" in my bed, she knows something in wrong. Like eaten pens, 1/2 eaten lip gloss, papers from everything (my day care worker, other daughter a total failure), jumped on tables, my new leather ottoman that I guard w/ my life- all sorts of no no's. I finally got afraid and had said daughter take her to daycare for her (the dog's) own good. They got a good laugh at daycare but no one took a picture.

But why worry about about your shoulders if you live out west? You can always toke up (man I know that ages me probably) during your shoulder surgeries after you've had a succession of these huge lovable goofy doods (and a couple of babies, too). Just keep it out of the reach of your other loved ones for pitys sake. It will beat the hec out of the crap I've been trying to take!!!!!!

Wouldn't you guys secretly love to see what Nancy (not Ned or Clancy) would be like on AK47? HEEHEE

Well, back to icing. Vet, I mean Dr. says, 3 months to full recovery!!!

Seriously...you enlightened me...and made me laugh...and that is a Very Good Thing...
So sad about the poor dogs that get into their owners stash...

Hope Sheila is a good girl for you until your shoulder heals. And hopefully you can get your pain under control - by whatever "means" ;0
