Well, the news seems pretty good on Sadie.
It isn't a tumour. It isn't anything really horrible.
Apparently, she has bla bla poly bla itis whatever the word is.
Her spine from age, arthritis, what have you, has degraded, and the channels her nerves run in are impacting the nerves themselves.
The good news, is if we keep doing what we're doing- walking her daily for physical therapy and weight reduction, giving her the derramax as needed- and giving her a new medication (more a supplement) we should see some improvement. The old girl's not ready to go yet.
The new supplement is a glucosamine/chondroitin supplement, with this stuff called MSM in it too (an anti inflammatory supposedly). It's expensive, but if it works totally worth it.
Thanks for everyone's well wishes.
I'll keep you posted.

We had a lovely night, and day. Took a sweet little nap with each other this afternoon, enjoyed the beauty of the day.
Went to the trolley hop on Frankfort Ave, and Regan did tarot all night, I played guitar on the street corner, serenaded sme little girls and old women, talked to people, had tea, met a cool lesbian couple who wanted to talk all about their kids, went to te Rover for a late dinner, and just had a magical evening.
Came home to find Sadie shit herself again.
I'm frustrated.
And tired.
