Sorry to hear you are sad. If it makes you feel any better, you're pretty much describing any typical day - any day of the week - in our crazy house. Sometimes I feel spun around, too but then I step back and realize that everything is basically ok. Just busy!

Do you ever visit some of the parenting blogs out there? Might be good for the support. I interact with other moms while caring for my kids (at school, classes, the endless Dr. trips etc), but if you don't get to do that, maybe online will help. Hang in there!

I'm sorry you're having a rough time!

Hi Lyn. I have an elderly, much-loved incontinent dog too. So hard! Tip for the pup's leg: when my dog had a cancerous toe removed it just. would. not. heal. Eventually the vet tried medical-grade manuka honey under the bandage and it worked like magic. Wound went from horrible black and smelly to pink and clean in about 48 hours. Worth a go?

Longtime lurker coming out to comment!

That spot on your dog's leg is called a lick granuloma. Our great dane does this to himself all. the. time. He's a rescue dog and very nervous. He licks to soothe, especially on sore spots and cuts.

Our vet always gives us synotic otic with banamine solution. You put the drops on a few times a day. If it's deep (and Bosley's usually are!) it may take a few weeks for it to heal completely.

I also agree with those who recommend wrapping the dog's foot in a plastic shopping or bread bag for quick trips out to potty. That will save you a lot of time and rewrappin! FWIW we never wrap Bosley but, then, he's a real PITA about those kinds of things. I'm not about to wrestle with 160 pounds of dog!

Can't do anything from afar 'cept send you a big Zen hug.

Take care of you and all the crew and don't beat yourself up. By the way, Big Mama's tip about wrapping pup's leg before you go out is a fab one.

I'm working on building a support system but don't have too many I can ask right now :( No family here.

Big Mama T~

What a great idea!! Thank you! I have some of that Press n Seal wrap here and am going to use it next time she goes out.

Thanks to all of you for the kind thoughts and words. I appreciate it. I am going to try to get to bed early tonight so I can focus better and deal with things tomorrow.

Lyn : Please get that shoulder looked at as soon as you can. And as far as the superfood DON'T YOU Worry about it and don't BE sorry either... Some of us are mothers, wives, have pets and surely problems so truly we should all understand. I don't do the superfood challenge but am a fan of ur blogging and I support you. With that being said start ur challenge back up when your ready and not before. Sending well wishes to you and your family tonight.

2012-01-25T14:47:29.506-08:00

Wrap the pup's bandage in plastic wrap before you go outside (particularly the adhesive kind that sticks to itself). You'll save yourself a lot of time and headache, and the cut will heal better if it gets moved around less (a little trick I learned while Vet Tecching). Just remember to take it off once you come in (so the cut can breather and so that the dog doesn't eat plastic wrap!).
Sorry things are crazy- but maybe that will save you a minute...

Sorry to hear about the shoulder and other assorted drama. Life just keeps coming, even when we need a rest! Sounds like you completely minimized damage last night and that's amazing. Hang tough Lyn - you CAN do this no matter what sh*t life throws at you! Hugs -

You may have bruised your shoulder or pulled something when you fell. I found your blog on BlogFrog Community and see that we are both on a weight loss journey. It's hard, but connecting with others makes it a little easier for me.

2012-01-25T09:53:31.077-08:00

You shouldn't have to apologize for when life happens to you! I feel so bad for you...I just want to rush over and give you a lending hand. I know that it's much easier for other people who have a goal/goals when they have a support system (family, a loving spouse/sig.other,friends) behind them and can step in on those days when things seem to fall apart. I know it's none of our business, but isn't there someone nearby who can help you out a little? You just seem so overwhelmed and it doesn't seem right or fair that you should have to suffer the burden all alone, on top of trying to stay healthy and fit.
You're in my thoughts:)
