Right-O Snap - the lymph nodes are really big. Feels like a bag of big marbles. Ick.

Yes - the offer is coming from the couple that looked at the house on Saturday. We have a lot of wiggle room on the price, so unless her offer is insulting - we should be good to go! I really hope it's not insulting. Really I do. I would so love to NOT have to deal with a relocation company. And - if I could sell my house without ever having put it on the market...I think I'll do cartwheels across the lawn. If I do - I'll have Mr. Fish take pictures. It should be entertaining.

Knotted - is that bike there yet?

Good luck, fish!

Fish, has Roux been diagnosed with lymphoma for sure?

[DrBee]

Snap - not yet. The doc said it's the most likely of the possibilities. The possibilities are lymphoma, blastomycosis, or histoplasmosis. Many people here have a mild case of histoplasmosis (sad, but true), but in a dog it would be much more severe. The most likely of the 2 are lymphoma or blastomycosis. Lovely stuff. We should get more info (test results) back tomorrow or Thursday. They're running an antibody test - we'll see.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for Roux. Let me know what the tests say.

Just talked to my pilates teacher. The studio we work out at is moving to the most horrible location. She's quitting. I've only got a couple of more sessions paid for, then I'm going follow her. She also works at a studio in Los Gatos so I'll go there. Anyone that lives in the south bay - the new studio would involve Hwy 85 at 5:00 at night. No thank you, all the calming benefits of the class would be lost on the drive home.

fish i hope things go well with the pup.

snap is that why your (extra) bitter today?


ahhh. the fog finially burned off (we were down to a 1/8 mile visibilty all morning) and the sun (yes sun! in cold bay!) is shining. now only if i wasn't so afraid of it and getting tan. where is my sunscreen?

Fish-
Tried posting this @ home, but lost internet connection, so posting @ work...
I hope everything works out for Roux. Sending positive, healing thoughts...

Actually, I'm kind of glad about the studio change. The owner doesn't strike me as someone who really cares about her staff, or the comfort of her clients. She pulled out all the wall units and replaced them with these terrible allegro combo units, stuffed the main studio with equipment. Add the carpet covered cement floors - can you imagine standing on that all day as a trainer? This move out to the boonies just confirms my feelings. I only stayed because I love my teacher, she is awesome. She trained with Romana Kryzanowska - a big deal if you are into Pilates.

oh my gosh getting caught up on this thread is work. We went away for labor day and I just didn't get back into reading it. I am now 20 pages behind and making a little progress each day. another 2 or 3 I should be all up to date.

We just had the freakiest weather come through. I was taking my little swimmer to practice and it was raining. Suddenly, it was coming down so hard i had to pull over cause the wipers were useless; then the hail started. I have heard the phrase "golf ball sized hail" and always thought it was an exageration - it is not. the hail was pounding so hard on the roof of the car it sounded like an angry mob was punching the car over and over. The hail stopped and I continued driving towards the pool and stopped at the drive-thru starbucks for a latte (cause swim practice gets dull quick when you are not actually swimming). the girl at the window told me that a tornado had been spotted about 10 minutes away and was supposedly heading in our direction. I headed home. Trees were down all over and I had to back down more than one street to find an alternate route to my house. Wowser.
