A bridge between the hands and the heart…

Hi Sweeties, I’m almost finished my CC dinner so I’ll update all yous inbetween mouthfuls!

So yesturday evening I got flipped over four times so Mamma decided she was bringing me up to bed with her. So I was bundled into my petbed and I was then tucked under a bunch of covers inbetween her and a stack of pillows. I stayed put all night and didn’t even try to wiggle out of the bed. Mamma got up at 5:30 to take away the wad of peed on stuffing (keleenex)and my poop, then she put more stuffing under my lady business and we went back to bed for a few more hours. So I got to sleep with her the whole night. So my smoocher is on the fritz and I went the whole night not giving Mamma any smooches, but finally this morning I started to give her a few.

So as soon as I was put in my house this morning I got flipped over on my side and couldn’t get up My head is only a wee wee bit tilted, its more like I’m leaning to one side a bit and the eye darting has stopped and there is no more reading that invisible paper. I’m chewing a bit of salad, mostly my dandelion and carrot though.

So I fianlly got to see Dr Deb and her and Mamma went over everything that has been going on. So this is the verdict. My ears are cleaned out pretty good, Deb said trying to clean them anymore would just compress the wax more. She said things look pretty good in there and she thinks Mamma cleaning them may have helped minimize possible inflamation. Now she also said that cats and dogs commonly get vestibular disease from unknown causes and it often goes away on its own with no treatment. She thinks if they get it, it must happen in buns too. So I will stay on Panacur anyway cause we know I have E.Cuniculi and my hind end weakness is working its way up one side of me to my front so it’s obviously doing more neurological damage.  I also get Metacam with the Pancuar to help with inflamation as its doing its job so that’s good for my head too. I’m taking a few days off right now and I’ll go back on for another three days and hopefully another three again after another rest. So I’m staying off the antibiotics as there is not currently any evidence of infeciton and I’m still recovering from the whole ordeal of going off food for three weeks from the penicilin. Both Deb and Mamma are pleased with my improvement after the initial onset of head tilt, so it is getting better. I will be getting my one herb twice a day now to help with dizziness as Mamma was noticing it wasn’t lasting 24 hours. My bladder situation is stable, no more pus and the amount of pee I am making is not evident of an infection so we’re not even going there!!

Now this flippin over business. *sigh* I flip the opposite way of my tilt so its not dizziness causing it. We are pretty sure its the progression of weakness on one side of my front. Because of my splay leg on back left I use my front right leg held further back to hold myself up, but that side is getting weak now and its basically “deformed” vet’s words So my leg gives out and the splayside pushes me over onto my side or back. Deb is hoping my splay leg which is increasing in its paralysis might eventually go strait out behind me like the other back leg and that would make me more stable. AS it is now my whole spine is all crooked. My hips are bend weird to one side and now my shoulders are pointing in the other direction and my right front leg is all bent funny at the wrist and I can’t bring it forward into a normal position anymore. So I’m a crooked old lady now and it sucks. Mamma is thinking I am starting to get frustrated and depressed by how my body continues to challenge me. I guess I’m finally getting tired. I don’t have any pain though, unless Deb really gets trying to move the vertibra when she does chiropractic on me then I’ll fuss like I’m in pain or if Mamma tries to move my fused leg too much. But she massages me gently and I don’t mind being held and picked up or going in my cart. But I am spending more and more time just resting in my pet bed with my chin on the side and my eyes closed.

I enjoyed some apple tonight, it was nice and crispy and sweet. My weight is almost back up to the 1.1 kg so that’s good too, but mind you Mamma is syringing me lots so that helps. I can still go pretty fast in my cart when I sprint, but I do sit around alot in it and with my front leg getting tired I have a tendency to stagger on the spot going in circles. I think this really upsets Mamma when I do this, she always brings me out when she find this. Sometimes I’ll go and lean against the cat’s scratching post or the door jam, then I don’t do the circles

So I think this is my lot in life now, pretty much its as good as its ever gonna be and that is depressing if I let Mamma think on it. I still enjoy my snuggles, although my smoocher is a bit off right now I know I’ll want to smooch more again soon~ I hope. So I’m gonna take each day as it comes and we’ll see how things go. My pulse was good today so I may be tired, but I’m not dreaming of the bridge or anything, not today anyway.  Getting old with E.C. sucks a big terd At least I get to sleep in a nice big warm bed with Mamma!

I love all you buns!! xox T  (Sorry this post sucks)

Hi my bunny friends 

Well I almost afraid to say anything since the last good update I made ended up being fleeting and then Mamma saw me getting much worse just hours later, BUT..

Things seem to be looking up in some aspects since my ears were cleaned. My eyedarting is pretty much gone, but sometimes Mamma will still seee moving my head from side to side following someting invisible, but she is wondering if this is from my increased front end weakness on one side, we’re not entirely sure about this but I’ll tell you though I am still dizzy, I don’t think its nearly as bad as it was, but the world is still in motion. My head is not tilted today, maybe just a wee tiny bit to one side, but if you didn’t know know I was fighting head tilt you’d never guess. so all this is major improvement!! Yay, thank you!

Now the only thing that still is a problem is that I seem to be more depressed again and I’m not eating as much I was there a few days back, but I’m getting the exra CC so help me out. Now the other thing is that I have been getting flipped over on my back and unable to get up again quite a bit. Daddy found me a few days ago like this in the morning, I looked like I was just sleeping I wasn’t moving or nothing, I think I almost gave him a heart attack, and Mamma has found me like this as well three times over the last two days. I am very quiet and don’t make much of fuss, but then over all I am fairly weak so I don’t have a lot of energy to to struggle. I know this worries Mamma, she doesn’t want to keep me from moving around since I’ve got little muscle left and not using it would be a very bad thing so Mamma wants me to keep freedom to move around, but I think she is very stressed about the idea of me being stuck on my back for more than a few minutes. My house has been  pretty much cleared of obstacles but I can even get flipped over getting snagged on some salad on the floor or if I get the towel bunched up a bit under my back legs.

So I think this time Mamma will get my appointment right, we’ll see what Deb can do with getting my ears cleaned out a bit better and I think the acupunture can help with the invisible reading. I know Mamma will not have me on antibioitics without knowing its one that will forsure do the trick IF I got an infeciton seems I’m having so much trouble not tolerating them. I’m still not fully recovered from my last tussel with antibiotics and Mamma doesn’t want to take any chances with over stressing my system on one that may not work. I think she’ll ask about something more for the dizziness, she will try increasing the dose of my herb tonight and see what happens with that.

Well that’s it for today, Mamma has got a ton of stuff she has to get done before tomorrow and she is way behind so she’d better hop to it!!

I was very sad indeed to hear about Stewart on bunspace.com this morning, I’m glad though he had some time to say good bye with his family and enjoy some tasty noms before he had to go. He was so strong and very brave as is his family, cancer is such a devestating thing in people and in animals, it leaves our humans so powerless and all they can do is wait and watch for the right time time to help us pass, without taking time from us and without causing suffering, I know it would be  sheer agony, the waiting… But now Stewart is freed from all that and the healing can begin for his family and for sweet Grace Mae.  xox T

Um, I was a little early for my appointment!!

OK Mamma is officially a Doe Head!! My appointment is for MONDAY at 2:30, not today So I went to town for the fun of it! OK I am still about the same and i am still eating. Mamma has been still thinking this might not be the E.C. My first episode of Head tilt was because my ears were so packed up with wax I got an infeciton and after a few weeks of cleanings, finally the mineral oil that was beign used to soften up the wax seeped down to my ear drum but we think it might have been perferorated? Then I got tilted right after and it took a couple weeks to get better, then I got hit with the mother load of tilts ~E.C we think a month later. Anyway Mamma says I must have been a candle maker in a past life cause I got this thing about making alot of wax, and my ears so hard to clean cause I am so tiny and even the vet and vet Tech have trouble doing this. Anway my last quick episode of head tilt quickly went away after Deb cleaned my ears, I did get worse for  a few days though, but then I was good.

So today mamma decided she is not gonna wait for MOnday to check this out, she looked as best she could and sure enough the side I am tilted on is the side with the biggest ball of wax, she says it looks like a candle about to come out of my ear!! So she got her glasses on and in the best light she could find she went in there with tweezers to grab the wad at the lowest point she could and pull it out and yes a huge chunk came out. She did this for both sides and then went in with the ear cleaner and some q tips to try and scoop out what she can. So now we wait and see if I clear up again in a few days. Mamma will get the tech to clean them again on Monday. Its a guess but we’ll see what happens. I’ll stay on my Pancur anway and  I’m coping so far with the eye darting, it seems to come and go in its severity.

So that’s all to report, not too much really. Mamma did buy some cat grass today and some pansies for Gracie, she loves to tend her own little garden, she’s kind of an Obsessive Compuslive weeder, problem is she thinks the pansies and the cat grass are the weeds!! Some lady in the grocery stores looks at mamma and asked what does she do with the cat grass? Mamma looked at her said, I give it to my cat!! hehe Then she said no its for my bunny I make a planter for her. I think the lady thought Mamma was some kind of freak. She did say, Gee I guess you love you bunny!! Duh!  What a dummy!  Of course I think Mamma could get some kind of award for her level of bunny slaveness!! hehe Gracie will be so surprised tomorrow when she finally gets out on the deck

Thank you for all the helpful suggestions you buns made about different meds, Mamma does want to disguss these with Deb on Monday depending on how things are going, but we both decided to hope for the best and that things will get better swiftly!!  Lots of love to all you Sweeties!! xoxo T

One step forward, two steps BACK

OK I got to say this now and get it out of the way~ Being sickly SUCKS

I know I shouldn’t have said nothing yesturday, just a few hours after yesturday’s post when Daddy was saying good bye to me cause he was leaving for work, he saw me leaning against the stairs in my cart and my head was tracking major. Its like I’m reading a giant newpaper, my head and eyes are going from one side to the other, the whole world is moving under my feet

Mamma noticed I was meditating quite a bit yesturday but there was not sign of the eye darting thing every time she watched me, then it came on real fast and all of a sudden again. I guess it was too good to be true to have symptoms start and then disappear in less then 24 hours. Head tilt is usually a long long ordeal

So Mamma put me in my meditation corner last night in the dark so I could calm down and settle things a bit and then brought me out for snuggles and my CC which went OK. We ended up staying staying up pretty late so I could snuggle on mamma’s shoulder.

So today I am still reading that invisible newspaper and I’m starting to act a bit depressed again *sigh* I just thought I had doged this bullet again and had my heart set of feeling better. I am eating a bit on my own, but not as much as the ohter day, both Mamma and Daddy thinks its cause I am frustrated a bit. I’ve also developed the first bit of actual tilt today about 10 degrees so far. I am grateful this episode of Head Tilt is coming on slow, that is a blessing, my previous cases came on fast and furious and it terrified Mamma cause every day I was worse and worse for like two weeks before finally I started to show tiny bits of improvement.

Mamma keeps smooching me and telling me I’ll be OK, that she’ll be with me through all this and it won’t be last time, its gonna better this time, I hope she is right.

Going to the vet this afternoon. Mamma will get Deb to check and clean my ears for me to check for infection, mamma still wonders if it could be my ears and not the E.C. but I’ll stay on the Pancur for a bit anyay. So for the meds are going OK and my tummy seems to be Ok, but I never did really get back to normal after that 3 week period of not eating. This all came on just to soon, I didn’t even get a rest from all this cwap. I am most annoyed cause today is the first beautiful warm day and I could have gone outside, but I need to stay where its darkish to help minimise the sensory input for my eyes. I feel pretty woozy as it is, so that will also mean no exercise and that’s bad too cause you know what they say, Use it or loose it, and I already don’t have much left to loose I hope Mamma will still let me go in my wheel cart for a little bit just to stretch out my front legs and remember what its like to move around freely, for as long as i can anyway. Mamma thinks the cart might help me from flippin over on my side or back, kind of like training wheel for bunnies. Its a theory anyway, we’ll take it slow and see what happens.

Did I say how much this sucks? xox T

I’m doing Good Today!!

Hi Bunny Buddies!

Well guess what…..I am still eating And my eyes have stopped darting!!!!! Yay! Mamma think I am steering straighter in my cart tonight too. I spent much of the day meditating in my corner with my stuffies and my crystals, but I have been eating as well. Mamma thinks I ate real good yesturday, today she is not as sure if I am eating as much, but I really did stuff my yap all day yesturday. The meds seem to ge going in without complicaiton so far so things are really looking up!! I see Dr Deb tomorrow so she’ll get a good look at my eyes to see if she can see any Nystygmus but Mamma can’t see me doing it today. I’m telling you this is a huge releif!! We don’t know if its the herb for dizziness doing it or the Panacur or the Metacam reducing some inflamation that may be causing this neurological symptom. Who cares I say!! I just think its great that we stopped it in it trackes!!      

 ~You Watch it E.C. Super Tink is gonna fight you til the bitter END!!!!!!! hehe sorry I’m feeling a little saucy today. I’d also like to THANK the anonymous SWEETIE who sponsored me some Nomies!! OMG what a sweet surprise that was today, Thank You Thank YOU!! and Smooch xoxo T

Good News and ……

Not so good news

Good news first! I am eating well today, Daddy keeps putting more salad (mostly dandelion) infront of me and I keep eating it up along with carrot, I got that orange mouth again today. The CC is going well still and Mamma and Daddy feel I have really improved. I am getting the new stomache herb twice a day and my “Bacon” (tasty B vitamin) but….

Not so Good new~ This afternoon Mamma wasn’t sure at first and she stared at me for some time thinking it was her imagination, but its not I have started with the nystygmus (eye darting) which is a sure sign the E.C is back at it. Its the begining of another episode of Head Tilt So my vet is away on confrence some place in the US but Mamma could reach her by phone. So it looks like we have no choice but to start the Pancuar as Deb had suggested last week. I am also to go back on my herb that she had me on for months now, to control dizziness.

So we think being on the detox for the few days was very good to help me get my eating back in order, but it seems the dandelion really helped with that as well, funny seems dandelion is a purifying food, help in to purifing the liver I think and good for the immune system. How cool is that? SO Mamma just gave me the Pancur and she gives a little bit of Metacam with it and every time I’ve had these two together I’ve handled it pretty good, so we got our toes crossed it will be OK and it will get working before I get into a full out Head tilt. The Metacam is to help with inflamation as the Pancuar is killing off the nasties, I guess this is to help my body process the breakdown of the cysts caused by the E.Cuniculi and move it out of my system. Its a controversial theory but its helped me in the past so we want to do what we felt worked before without sending my system into total chaos like when I first starting taking it.

So far my head is straight but I to hold it to the side when I was put in my cart. I took off and ran straight into the leg of the coffee table and then into the couch, but I can seem to steer a bit better now that I’ve been in it a few minutes. Its just gonna take me a bit to learn to compensate for the moving world I’m sorry sweeties that I had more bad news, Its very upsetting I know, but I got to stay positive, Daddy is still home and he can’t take me going into depression mode so I’m gonna stay strong and brave for him~ he can’t handle the scary stuff. I’m sorry I’m causing all this worry and fuss, I just wish so bad I could be just me, happy and well and spending my days eatin and smoochin and rolling around in my cart teasing Gracie There is still hope though, I think Mamma has got this head tilt thing early so hang in there with me, I love you all so much!! And I couldn’t do this without yous!! xox T

Mamma here~ OK, I refuse to go into panic mode. I guess I’m staying in Zombie land for right now. I remember all to well what Head tilt is like and its terrifying, but the last time she came on with the early symptoms they cleared quickly so that could totally happen this time, that’s what I’m planning on. Hubby is still home and I know he can’t handle the scary stuff so we’ll hang tough and keep focused on the improvement and good stuff and there is lots of that. T is so amazing coming from where she was last week so that’s what I’ll keep my mind on, not on the possibility of what tomorrow could bring! It is what it is I have no control over it and that makes me so angry but what use is being angry? If we keep it each day as it comes I can handle it and so can Trinket and way more gracefully than me may I add.

T here again~ I’m not finished I got some other news! I got another surprise in the mail today! It was a lovely “blue” themed gift from Maximus and his Mommy!! They sent me this beautiful purse filled with pretty crystals and stones, and a pretty little dream catcher and some candles with nice Jasmin oil and a pretty  oil burner. These things are props/ symbols in helpin Mamma focus her energy and her mind into a calmer more healing place for me. I do have the dream catcher hangin in my house though and Daddy says I can keep the pretty purse with the stones in my house too, I really like it and I keep it in my meditation corner with Dougie and Jetty and my catnip heart pillow!! Thank you so much Maxie, you really are the sweetest bun to think of me and send me this gift from all the way across the world!! Here’s me opening my new Purse and here I am making sure Daddy put everything back in after he showed me everything Maxi sent me! I love crystals and now I got my very own!!  Thank you Maxi!! xoxo T

OK Gandhi has left the building…. sort of?

Ok Bunnies after much consideration and deep inner speculation (and the recomendation of several good buddies) I came to the realization that “fasting” is a useless practice for us buns. I did not find any enlightened wisdom I did not already have, other than the memory of how tasty those spring dandelions are. So…

Daddy and Mamma bundled up and went out in the pouring rain yesutrday and searched high and low through the yard and garden to find me some of those tender dandelions!! Yay they found some!! Most are very tiny, just coming up and only an inch or so long, but luckily they did find some buried under some old grape vine that were a bit longer and guess what I am eating now? Yup you got it, that is all I am eating right now along with some nice tender grass as well. Of course I am still tucking into some tasty carrot and I got an orange face again today.

So I got my dreaded “Brazilian” yesturday and I got to say, even though I love my Daddy to bits, he should not be allowed near the clippers again!! I got a annoying case of rug burn on my clipper burn!! owie Daddy He got over zelous in his attempts to get all the fluffs cleared away so I can pee without all soaking all over me. He put some of this very healing ointment on it that is supose to help alot and it does look so much better today. Daddy is very sulky and wants to cry just thinkin on it. He says he wants to  report himself for baby abuse Oh Daddy, I’m gonna be OK, he really is a big sap that guy. AS long as he keeps hand feeding me those tasty morsels I am happy. So I had just a Mani done, Mamma says I’m not using my back legs anyway so not to worry about those nails anyway, but my fronts were getting pretty crazy. They curl now in odd direcitons, but mostly up even when they are as short. Daddy says it makes my front pawsies look all deformed. Mamma says she is gonna start painting them and let them grow anyway seems I don’t really use them much and now they growing upward they don’t get in the way of anything, other then I poke Mamma with them sometimes when I am smoochin on her.

So it was entertaining yesturday watchin Puds and Gracie get de-furred!! Gracie was the sucky one who got so upset at one point she tried to jump right off the table! Mamma wasn’t having any of it though and they had to to do the burrito trick to get her nails done and even with that she was making tight little fists with her pawsies so Daddy couldn’t get at her nails!! She is very lucky she did get half a cracker after and she ate it while she was cradled in mamma’s arms like a baby. AAWW, just watch Mamma, she may be cute with those pretty eyes and all, but that is one deadly bun!!

Now Puds was a real good girl!! Holy Cwap I can’t beleive we are actaully typin these words!! hehe, she was though, I think she might actaully be turning away from her Hellian ways!! She got her half a cracker too, and OMG Mamma says she gulped it so fast she pretty near just inhaled it, I guess she couldn’t beleive her luck that she actually got some. I know she is loves them so much, she is a worse Crack head then me even, but she isn’t allowed them cause of her pooy butt, but you know her bum was clean and she just had a few bits of poo stuck in her belly fur, but hardly any. although I heard her scent glads were mighty ripe and needed a clean out. EEW!

So that was yesturday and today I am snackin a bit on these dandelions, Yummy oh so Yummy, it makes me cry to think its been over 6 minths since i’ve had them. Once they flower they are not as nice, they kind of bitter, this is when the are best, tender, sweet and fresh, nom nom nom. You know Mamma says I am not having to wear my “high maintance” shirt for nothing!! OMG Bunnies, what has been going on in bunnidome? Look at all the buns having health issues today!! Sweeties I hope yous all get well and your vets get yous all fixed up. I’m telling you, April has not been a good month so far for the buns, its so upsetting. I am so glad that so many buns are keeping their prayers working and the vibes flowing to all these, it amazes me the power of bunny love!! Thank you sweeties I love you GUYS!! xox T

Today I am Gandi….

Hello Bunny Buddies…

Well yesturday was most excellent. I had a nice quite day lounging and relaxing and had several episodes of eating salad and even without Mamma hand feeding me. My energy was good and my mood as well, over all it was a good day. I was still getting my CC mash of course, Mamma figures she is a professional syringer now and will remain one until you know when. I was surprisingly perky even with my little adventure the day before, but then car rides and little adventures have always helps bring me out of my episodes in the past as well. I guess I might be prone to depression when dealing with these extended not eating periods, but hay can you blame me? So it was all happy happy, smooch smooch here.

Now today is another story entirely. Today I am Gandi. I am in deep spritiual meditation and have refused all food. I did sit with some stems up my nose hopin this would keep Mamma at bay, but sadly no. I was bundled on the couch and she began to attemp hand feeding. Usually tickling my lips with said tasties will encourage a few annoyed nibbles then I’d eat for real, but today I am refusing to to meet her half way. I did fall to the temptatation to some very juicy carrot and I have an orange face to prove it, but all else, no thank you! So Mamma was trying to cram some herb stems into my yap so I thought I’d try to get her to believe I was eating so I started very tiny chewing motions almost like grinding my teeth as she was trying to feed more in, but basically it all just fell out while I was doing my “fake” chewing~ Dang it she figured it out!! Then she tried just shoving the salad up inbetween my front and side teeth and I’d let the salad hang there like a farmer with a peice of hay out of his yap! She didn’t like that either

So I’ve had my CC for breaky and I hear more is coming in a few hours. Mamma refuses to allow me my spiritual retreat! No respect that woman, its all her way! She even said she won’t let me smooch her until I eat something!! NOW that is so unfair, its not right and I won’t stand for it, I gave her the most annoyed face I could when she said that to me!

So I have finished my period of detox now and today I started my new herb for my tummy. I had one drop of the tincture, we’ll see what happens. I am to start slow on this to see if anything adverse happens with my appetite and to increase the dose slowly. OK, and I started back on my “Bacon” (vitamin B complex) Oh how I missed that stuff, I love it so much, it is so tasty!!

So I also heard Daddy telling Mamma I need another “Brazilian” Cwap! and a Mani Pedi too, apparently Mamma thinks I am looking entirely too much like Sylvia Brown~ is that a bad thing? Who is this Sylvia Brown chick any how? Oh well at least I hear the “Hellians” Gracie and Puds are in for Mani Pedis and a Butt Pluckin too hehe I know Puds just hates those!! Well at least that is some good entertainment for me anyway watchin those two get all cranky and try to beat up Daddy!!

So Mamma has once again piled up a huge stack of salad under my nose, but I am keepin Gandi close to my heart today and we’ll see what revelation I receive during my deep meditaion! I’ll let yous all know what happens…

Much love and lots of smooches seems I can’t smooch Mom, I hope was fibing about that, xox T

Daddy sure knows how to treat a girl!!

Ok so Daddy worked so hard and didn’t rest at all so he get home last night. Mamma had to go pick him up at midnight, but last night I got to sleep beside my daddy and watch his snoring while he was watchin me watchin him!! hehe

We started the day super great, Daddy snuggled with me on his chest of for a bit and I chewed in his beard then he took me up to see Mamma who was still sleepin, I got to lay inbetween them in the bed all snuggled to Mamma and I got to smooch her awake, then Daddy hit the shower while me and Mamma smooched. I love to start the day like this, its better than second breakfast!! hehe

So Mamma had to go to the groomer to have her hare dyed, so me and Daddy decided to come too. It’s a bit of a drive, but I like being in the truck and I relaxed on Daddy’s lap while he kept showing me some salad, but mostly I wanted to be pet.

At the salon, Mamma and Daddy went in for a bit then Daddy came and got me. The ladies salon was closed to the public for the day and we were the only ones there so I got to sit up on one of the desks and Daddy kept hand feeding while we watched Mamma have her hare tortured! OMG, she looked so scarey, I don’t know who would pay to have such things done to their head. But it was entertaining enough to watch and Daddy doted on me the whole time. Hehe, when I realized we were at the spa I began to primp and fluff my bib (dewlap), hehe, I had to look good you know!! So I kept groomin and eating. Mamma says she has watched me eat the most she has seen in a week at least. I still need my Daddy to hand it to me mostly, but I will chin some peices and then dig for what I want!!

So Daddy did get his head chopped too, the lady got out these clippers that look alot like what Daddy uses to administer my Brazilians! hehe. Eventually Mamma started to look better and when it was all done, she looked a million years younger and more relaxed!  The strangest thing was Mamma and Daddy were smiling and staring at me the whole time we were there, but the hare lady seemed immune to my cuteness, I think she must be very sick cause how could she miss it, I mean come on~ Me, a cute little disabled bunny tucked in my pink bag snuggled up to Dougie wearing my cute baseball shirt, the blue one and chewin on some salad and she did not utter one AWW!! I think there is something definately defective in that situation.

So the next best part of the day was we got to go down to the beach and we had a picnic, there was a seagull staring at us wanting Mamma’s sandwhich and when she didn’t give him any, he started yellin at another gull, Uh OH, but nothing happned. The sun was warm and there was a gentle warm breeze, I think spring has finally arrived, I guess those dandelions will be here in  a few weeks, I hope!! Daddy gave me some water and drank out of the bottle cap, I was very thirsty and Daddy kept giving me as much as i wanted. So far I have eaten one and a half, two inch hunks of carrot and a hopeful amount of parsley, cilantro and a bit of kale, no bok choy, I’m off that right now. I even got half a cracker into me, I haven’t eaten any of that in days.

So Daddy drove us home and I snoozed in Mamma’s lap waking evey once in a while I’d wake to smooch on her hand. I’m home now and Mamma is giving me the CC with my fibreplex and typin this blog inbetween bites. I am tired, but its a good tired. It was nice to have a wee adventure and some fresh air. I think I’m gonna stick around for a bit, things are lookin up!!

Thank you so much for sharing the love. Its been a terribly long week and so stressful, I hope Mamma can relax a bit now, so I can relax!! And thank you all you sweeties who didn’t know Stewart and went over to say hi and share some strength, things are looking way better for him today too, gee I wonder what that is about?? Bunspace bunnies sure know how to hold a bunny up when they are down, I love you guys, I really really do and I hope you’ll be patient knowing I’ll be trying to come around to visit as I can~ baby steps though, its all about the journey not the destination!!! xoxo T

This is from this afternoon blog on bunspace.com

I found another miracle for today anyway!!

I just got back from the vet and I want to say first off, my pulse is much stronger today!! so much that I was able to have some needles without worry of depleting my Chi. It seems as the day goes on I feel a bit stronger and I even sat in the waiting room with Mamma and nibbled  a tiny corner of cracker and few springs of cilantro and carrot top. I am holding my head up and my ears are forward again. My eyes are still cloddish, Dr Deb thinks its from my eyelashes rubbing on my eyes, but why I am having this issue now after all these years I couldn’t tell you, but its very annoying!

I didn’t get any fluids cause I am still chunky feeling and well hydrated, I had a vitamin B shot given in my stomach points (aqua puncture) and Deb did some acupuncture test with the needles to see what points are giving me so much trouble, STOMACHE and bladder. But at this point with me still so poorly it wouldn’t be safe to give me any antibiotic for the bladder infection that must still be brewing, Mamma did see a wee bit of pus in my urine a few days ago but nothing since. So we wait for my tummy to feel better. I am to detox for the weekend, only getting a very weak ginger tea and the fibreplex stuff in my CC, then on Monday I am to start a new herb for my tummy. We will start off slow and and at a low dose and see how I do. Dr Deb is going to be away all next week, but told Mamma she can reached by phone for consultation if I need her.

Dr Deb said I look so much better today, but I am still not out of the woods, but she and Mamma are hopeful as I am so much improved from yesterday. I had been like that for a few days and Deb thought too my time was up~ again, but no, I proved them wrong~again. I guess I might have part cat in me, how many lives is this now? I should not be cocky I have a long way to go and all I can say is that today I feel hopeful again, I know Daddy will home tomorrow and I can make him laugh again by smoochin his ear, that makes me so happy and I will probably pee on his too, I’m so glad he doesn’t mind. Deb did tell Mamma that she didn’t think I had any pain, not like the time I had the pneumonia, I scared them both so bad when I screamed in the office when she examined me, they both thought for sure I was a goner. But this time Deb says she could see a depression or Malaise that she sees with the cancer patients, just that first part of emotionally detaching and not caring to carry on. Mamma saw it as detaching from this world, I was  here still physically but not mentally, I was watching that meadow. But today I am all here, mind body and spirit and of course smoocher.

I am very tired from the trip to town so I think I will have a nice nap before my CC dinner. I have resigned to allow Mamma to continue the feedings. I was starting to really give her hard time about this, but this morning I almost got poked in the good eye when I tried to squirm away from the syringe. Mamma told me she was going to stick by me and that means the syringe so I had to try and let her, so I did. Now I don’t fight her I am annoyed at having to have it so much, but I know this is the only way I can stay here until I get feeling like my old self with my three salads a day.

I am so overwhelmed by all the prayers, vibes and encouragement. I don’t know but I think its all of us working together that makes me better. With all those voices sweetly asking for my healing how could the universe not? I know I am one extremely lucky bun girl, lucky for my sweet Mamma that keeps on no matter what and how much she fears, lucky for my Daddy who works so hard so Mamma can do all she does, lucky for all the love and friendship we have found here from so many incredible bunny families!! And lucky to be able to just be the bunny that I am, warts an all I love all you guys so much for making such a difference in my life and my family’s.  I ask one last thing though, please don’t worry about me, I think I’m gonna be OK, that’s my plan anyway, I’ve decided I want to make it to BunFest in August, I’ve got my sites on that for now.

 But please visit Stewart, he is battling Cancer and its terrible, there are no words that could possibly describe what his family must be going through. Please let them know they are not alone, that we see them, hear their pain and are willing to be witness to it and hopefully help share the weight of it. I know its hard in these cases, the waiting is awful especially when hope is fleeting. Stewart’s Mommy wants to try steroids but he has to be off metacam for three days, I know these next days are going to be so hard for Stewart and his family, hoping and waiting for a gift of a miracle in this treatment. I know knowing what to say is very hard sometimes, so even just leaving some carrots would speak volumes. Thank you for being so ”bunderful” every bun of you!! xox T
