I think I found the weight you guys lost. I was up to 227lbs today. My bloodwork was good though. And my doctor let me ramble on about plumbing code and how DWV system works.
I was up most of the night with my dog. She stopped eating and was having trouble getting up without help again. I had to keep bringing her water bowl to her and she drank quite a bit. I then put a diaper on her. She got the first one off. I give her about 45min to an hour after drinking water and then change the diaper. It is really helping with the floor problem. Another bonus is that bc she's not peeing on the floor, it isn't getting slippery and making her slide and fall. She randomly started barking for help because she couldn't get up. But after I helped her a few times and got her some water, she was able to get up again. Unfortunately, she's not doing well at all now. I couldn't even get her to eat table scraps. She turned her nose away. She was able to get up and walk around on her own this afternoon. She's moved from my brother's bedroom door, to my doorway, and then next to the foot of my bed (she moved there after I left for my doctor's appointment around 1:50pm and has been there ever since). Now she doesn't even want water, isn't seeming to take comfort in being petted, and doesn't want to lift her head. I think she's done. If she's still like this- or worse and still alive tomorrow morning I'm going to have to take her for one last trip to the vet and say goodbye. :-(
Meanwhile, a guy who owes my mother $ just lost his job bc the job was one of those temporary things and it ended-- He said it was without warning. So, he's in a bind. He wanted to come out and do some work for us and reduce his debt in lieu of paying $, but my mother is not agreeable to that. She might be more forgiving if he hadn't admitted to her that instead of saving $ to pay her back, he went out and bought a truck and two iPhones that were $900 each. I can't blame her for being annoyed. Glad she said "No" when he asked to borrow more money.
