A bridge between the hands and the heart…

Hello my Sweeties,

Well I’m still here of course, my Daddy is not home yet so there should be no question. He is due home some time Monday, hopefully everything will go as planned and he is not delayed.

So last night was a bit better for me, Mamma elevated the front of my pet bed so I was sleepin up hill instead of like before I was sort of facing down hill. Mamma’s got a very cwappy mattress and when she gets in bed it makes a big dip in the centre and that is usually where I end up facing so this time I was able to keep my head up all night and Mamma was hopin it would help me feel better and be able to breath easier. So the night was peaceful until 7am when my tooth grinding woke Mamma so she could get me my Metacam. My Lasix is due at 2am so we’ve been up late every night and today I can see Mamma is lookin very tired. Last night she did sleep right through the whole night as I didn’t need her to comfort me so I guess that is an improvement. I chewed a few pieces of parsley first thing today, but I haven’t ate anything on my own so far for the rest of today. I am getting my syringed mash though so I’m not really hungry. I got a bit cranky about my mash this morning but Mamma reminded me if I want to wait for Daddy to get home, I got to keep eating even though its work.

We finally got the heart medicine for me and I won’t start it till later tonight seems its a every 12 hour thing, Mamma didn’t want to start too early seems we are up so late and sleep later in the morning. Holy Moley all these medicines are a lot to keep straight so Mamma has it all written out of what I get and when, but sometimes I can’t make it through to the next dose like ,my pain meds, neither the Tramdol nor the Metacam really get me through so I have them both staggered through out the day so I’m getting pain meds 4 times a day and that is not too bad for the most part.

I was weighted again today at the vet to see if I can maintain my weight on this Lasix, I’ve gone down from .98kg to .95kg and I did miss my breakfast yesterday so that is not too bad. We got to be careful the Lasix doesn’t start to dehydrate me, kind of tough on a paralyzed bunny. Oh I can sit up on my own today without fallin over so that is a huge improvement on yesterday. so I guess we win a little and loose a little too, but they kind of even out. Mamma has been told by the Dora Bunnies Mommy that the heart medicine will make me feel so much better. Her poor little Elsa had heart problems and still went on for three months on the Lasix and heart medicine, so I don’t know? Does that mean I’ll be here longer than we thought? Its hard to tell though cause I got all this pain to manage and the paralysis too on top of the fact I don’t eat on my own. You’d think I’d be miserable with all that but I’m not. I do sleep a lot but that is just relaxing and the rest of the time the smooches with Mamma are so wonderful, they make me so happy. Before the Tramadol I could hardly smooch at all, so its really making a huge difference for me. Things have gotten strange with my body though. I’m pretty much a floppy bun now and Mamma has to be very careful now to support my whole upper body. I got all my weight up top and I’ve not got any strength left in my back anymore, just in my front legs and my neck so its kind of awkward. If I’m laying on mamma chest this is most comfortable for both of us and I can still be quite bossy with Mamma if she is not smoochin on me right. I start pushing around her nose to just where I want it and of course I got to kiss on the lips, its not a kiss unless its on the lips ,LOL

Well there is not too much really to say about today. It rained and stormed here like crazy and we lost hydro for a while and have had our satellite out several times as well, but things are finally calming and the late day sun is shining, its been a good day all in all. I’m relaxed and content except when Mamma is pushing me to eat, but I know she is right so I keep at it even when I’m tired. I love you guys so much and I’ll let you know tomorrow how things go with the heart medicine, wish me luck! xox T
