Teresa, You're a delight! I love watching you. Your work is beautiful. Thank you for taking time, out of your busy life, to record your videos. So enjoyable! When I see you've uploaded a new video, I grab a cup of coffee and my stitching and watch it! Thank you so much.
Thanks so much 😊 I'm pleased to report Bon Bons is back home with us now post op, she is very sore, but still insists that she wants to do all the things and very frustrated with her confinement life after only 1 day lol. I'm hoping that once she knows the routine she will settle down a bit. We have a new doggy stroller arriving Monday so she can come out on the walks for a breath of fresh air without the walking bit, plus I can push her from room to room in the house so she doesn't get left behind - she doesn't like being left behind in a room and watching Honey swan off with the humans lol. I have my appointment this week so hoping to get some answers over the coming weeks. I'm sure when Bonnie gets use to the new way of life she will give me time to do an update video
Hello Teresa wonderful to see you but so sorry to hear of your poor health and for dear sweet Bon Bon’s operation sending you both get well wishes 🙏❤️💐 beautiful stitching love your Christmas stocking.
Thank you for your lovely message! I'm pleased to report Bon Bons is back home with us now post op, she is very sore, but still insists that she wants to do all the things and very frustrated with her confinement life after only 1 day lol. I'm hoping that once she knows the routine she will settle down a bit. We have soft crate, soft play pen and now a new doggy stroller arriving Monday so she can come out on the walks for a breath of fresh air without the walking bit, plus I can push her from room to room in the house so she doesn't get left behind - she doesn't like being left behind in a room and watching Honey swan off with the humans lol. I have my appointment this week so hoping to get some answers over the coming weeks. I'm sure when Bonnie gets use to the new way of life she will give me time to do an update video. The stocking is now with the lovely friend who has agreed to do the finishing - fingers crossed I should get it back mid September and I can share the final FFO before it is handed off to my boss.
I hadn’t watched you for awhile. I watched this yesterday and got all worried about you and your puppy. Now,I see you posted August, so I don’t have to worry anymore. ❤
Hey Teresa, I always enjoy watching your videos and your beautiful stitching. I'm now stitching the Robert Stocking Santa using the Richard Stocking threads and scenery.. Mixing it up. I must say it's very addictive.. Santa must be magical!. or it's just a welcome break from 40ct 😂.. anyway, my best wishes to you ,your mum and your puppies.. give your mum my cheers for Wednesdays game 😊🤗😊... Go the Matildas ⚽️.. Cheers Morena.. from Australia 😊💖😊
Good luck with Bonnie’s operation, and your on going medical issues Teresa, hopefully things will be improving quickly & give you your quality of health & life back ❤x
Sounds like you have a very busy life. I do not know how you find the time to stitch but it is good that you do. I find it's a form of therapy for me. Love all your projects. I hope you feel better soon my love and Bon Bon too. 💕 So happy to hear your Mum is doing well. Take care Teresa. Always lovely to see you. ❤
Poor BonBon. Our Tinkie had had the same surgery when he was small and he had a hard time after it. All went well otherwise. I hope she will heal soon after the surgery.
Gosh, sweetie… you are going through a lot… keep us updated… all the best for your test and hope Bonnie will get through it nicely… take care of you my little T…. Love you… 👋❤️🥰😘
Hi Theresa, Enjoyed seeing your video. The stocking is gorgeous. I like the little cabinet with your magnetic stitched panel… what a great idea! May you soon be well and your Bonbon too. Love, hugs and prayers from NC/USA
Hi Teresa, your FFO is gorgeous. 🌟🌟🌟 I think your choice with the green is perfect. Your stocking is beautiful. 🌟🌟🌟 🙏 sending lots of 🙏🙏🙏 your health gets under control. 🙏 Happy Stitching. ❤❤❤
Hi Theresa Love all of your WIPS - they are so pretty. You are making great progress on them. Sorry you had to go through what you did. Keeping all of you in my Prayers. Take Care & Happy Stitching ❤️🤗🙏🧵🪡🧵❤️
Thanks for commenting. Yes I do feel truly loved from this community and such a kind and overwhelming RAK. I will be sure to be thinking of how wonderful this community is each time I work on the project once I get it started.
Poor Bonnie... I hope she recovers quickly and well! I had a pit-mix puppy (Chance) when I was a teen who had a similar issue. I don't know if it's just that veterinary medicine has gotten better with this sort of thing since then (this was in 1998, so I would hope so😅), but it was recommended that we amputate the limb rather than put him through the pain of the alternative. We did ultimately take the vet's advice and I'm glad we did. Chance recovered well and I don't think he ever really noticed he was missing anything. He still ran us all ragged for the remaining 12 years of his life 😂
Praying for you and Bonnie. Your stitching is beautiful and it’s amazing how you can do everything you do. Know that we all love you and wish the best for you. ❤
Hi Teresa, sending all best wishes to you to find out what is going on with your health issues, i know that feeling, and also wishing a good recovery to Bonnie. Love your stocking. Hope you get some stitchy time to help you through it. Take care❤🌼🌺
So I’ve actually been down both roads you discussed at the end. First your doggie. My (now dearly departed) dog had knee surgery years ago for a torn ACL. She was confined to crate rest for 8 weeks after, no stairs, all of that like yours will be. Only she was a 40lb medium sized mixed breed and it was a good thing I was young and had a good back at the time because carrying her was a LOT. So the first nights they come home are really hard. They had my dog on some strong opiates and she was high as a kite and very confused and it was hard to see her like that. I ended up sleeping on the floor next to her crate for three nights and her cat (who very much loved his dog) would enter the crate and sleep with her to calm her. So all that to say is those first few nights are VERY stressful, but things do settle, so try to not be too anxious about it. One thing no one warned me about what that she would be so constipated from all the opiates from the surgery so I fed her a lot of canned pumpkin to move things along so it wasn’t terrible for her. But yeah I had to watch her like a hawk and because she was a larger dog there was a strict no furniture rule for months because I couldn’t risk her taking a leap onto her newly mended knee. On the second thing- I have rheumatoid arthritis and for me it presented not as the classic swollen joints (although they eventually happened) but initially it was bad health and fatigue and then my feet just seemed to crumble and they hurt so bad despite the fact that I’ve never worn “bad” shoes. The first rheumatologist told me everything was all in my head. Took me another four years to work up the nerve to find a second and it was actually a kind foot doctor who sent me to someone who was very good. And initially he was like “something’s wrong, but it’s not clear yet.” So he trialed some medicine, and in the meantime it became clear in about a year when the RA started to present classically. He told me it takes about 6 years for autoimmune patients to get a diagnosis, and usually three doctors. It took four different trials over two years to land on a medicine that worked for me. So I tell you this to say that autoimmune diseases are really hard to diagnose and you have to fight as a patient. I had symptoms years before my blood work finally turned and it was a constellation of weird things that no one caught until I saw the second rheumatologist. So just know that you may not get answers right away and that it’s always worth to keep pushing if the answers they give you don’t seem to be enough. So my advice before you see the rheumatologist is to write down all your symptoms, how often they occur, and when they occur. Type it up so it’s clear and succinct on a sheet of paper and give it to them. Be very specific and don’t be vague. And when you go in to tell them why you are there have your reason boiled down to a two minute speech and have the sheet to give to them. That’s how they take you seriously. They’ll do a bunch of blood work but a good rheumatologist will also physically check all the potential problem spots in your body and don’t trust one who doesn’t. (Mine feels all my joints and moves them looking for swelling) they should be poking you like a prize pony. Also know that x rays only show joint damage when it’s badly damaged, and they don’t show joint inflammation. Ultrasounds show much more (how I was diagnoses) and specific MRIS show a lot. Anyway those are my basic tips, and if you want more advice on it, let me know and I can email you. I’ve been through the wringer with it and I really hope you don’t have to go through it yourself. Good luck. May august go smoother than expected.
Hi hun. Love all yr beautiful projects. Yr 🧦 is gorgeous 😍 hope yr little doggie gets better soon. Give them both a big hug from me. Hope life gets easier for you soon. Take care. Xc
Thanks so much 😊 Bon Bons is back home with us now post op, she is very sore, but still insists that she wants to do all the things and very frustrated with her confinement life only after 1 day lol. Lots of kisses and cuddles seems to make her a little happier. I'm hoping that once she knows the routine she will settle down a bit.
Wishing Bonnie good luck and hope all goes well. I know how stressful it is when pets are unwell or need treatment, you feel so helpless trying to know what's best for them..I also hope you get some answers with your health issues. All the very beat wishes and happy stitching
Dear Teresa, your stocking looks great your boss is going to love it. All of your stitching is always so beautiful. Sorry to hear that you haven’t been feeling well. I pray that the doctors find a solution for you. Tomorrow is August 3 so I just now heard about poor little Bonnie. She’s lucky to have such a loving mom as you. She’s going to enjoy sitting with you while you stitch, I remember how your other little pooch loved sitting with you. I saw someone suggest that you have one of those little pens for upstairs that’s a good idea also maybe a ramp on your deck for those two steps I don’t know if she can hit do a ramp . Poor little puppies. Please take care of yourself. I always look forward to seeing your videos you are a real joy. Even if you don’t have anything to show for Stitching, maybe you’ll pop on to let us know how you’re doing, I feel like I’m visiting with a good friend . You are in my prayers sweet lady.
Thank you for your lovely comment! Your kind words mean so much to me. Bon Bons is home post-surgery now, very sore, but that doesn't stop her from thinking she can do all the things; she is very confused about why she has to stay behind bars even only after 1 day - I am sure she will adapt over the coming days. Your support makes sharing my videos a joy, and I'm grateful to have you as a wonderful stitching friend in this community. I'm sure I will find the time in the coming weeks to post an update on how things are going. Sending you lots of love and gratitude! 🌺❤️🙏
Prayers for your sweet fur baby. Keep us posted how she does. And definetly get to the bottom of your health issues while your still young. Prayers for you and Miss Bonnie. ❤❤❤ Take care of the both of you.

Today is the day before surgery for Miss Bonnie. Sending all the love and healing vibes to you both. I hope for cooler weather, so being in doors is one less thing to manage. I hope the surgery is boring and efficient. Check with her Vet and I hope she wont need it. Our fur babies would be successful with this bland diet for awhile: cooked brown rice, Gerber (baby food) chicken and gravy, with pumpkin. Especially if Miss Bonnie struggles between loose and/or being blocked up. She will have lots of pain meds which can cause blockage. ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for your lovely message I must admit I’m dreading tomorrow for little Bon Bon’s. But has to be done for her to live her best life, so worth the pain and effort needed. Thank you for the tips I will talk to vets
Hey Joanne! So long since we have seen each other! Yes, I'm hoping over the coming months I can get my health issues under control and start living life without having to deal with feeling rotten all the time. It takes its toll that is for sure - hope you are keeping well and doing all your crafty things 😊
We used one of those playpens when Patches was tiny, it was perfect for keeping him safe at night. I hope that you are feeling much better and that your sweet little puppy is recovering. Huge hugs Happy stitching Patty
What a lot going on Teresa. Im wishing Bonnie a successful op and a speedy recovery, it’s no fun post op trying to keep pets settled at all, hope she doesn’t mind her new routine for a while. Hope you get some answers re your own health, take acidophilus capsules for your tummy along side your anti biotics, they will replace the good bacteria’s, high strength garlic capsules too to keep any fungal growth from occurring and grapefruit if you like it. Love the finish, it’s going to look great made up, I enjoyed your update, enjoy august despite all the things going on 🙂
Thank you for sharing all your beautiful stitching. Love seeing all your progress. Sorry to hear your going through a tough time at the moment. Hope everything goes smoothly with Bonnie. And I hope you get sorted soon too. Take care, hopefully you can enjoy some stitching time 😊❤
Oh my goodness! You have so much to cope with! Your pen looks great for BonBon. Hunny may surprise you and sense that her sister is not well. Especially in the first weeks. I think it will be good for them to see each other through the pen wall. Thank goodness she is small, so picking her up is manageable for you. I had a Shetland Sheepdog that had that surgery, although not nearly at that stage. I will be saying lots of prayers for BonBon and for you. Please do post a quick something on here or instagram or Facebook. just to let us know she came through the procedure all right, and then when she gets home.
Prayers going out to you and yours. The out of print is a beautiful gift. When finished, give the love to someone else but put a note in it for them to pass along. Sign the pattern. Your FO is gorgeous.
Thank you for commenting and what a wonderful idea of passing on as a give away and the signing of the chart! Can you imagine if all continue signing and all the names it would have attached to it!
I’m so sorry you’ve been ill. I’ve had kidney infections and they are no fun. Also, we have a 97 lb German Shepherd who had his hip replaced a couple of years ago. We slept downstairs with him the first two weeks and then rigged up a blanket and between the two of us and carried him upstairs at night. We have two steps outside and carried him down and then back up again for the first couple of weeks also. This was a real laugh riot let me tell you. My hubby and I are sixty…yeah. My upper body got really strong. When hubby was working I even got good at lifting Archie up and into the car for vet appointments. One question, you are so great at sorting things out can you please tell me what kind of chair you have? I have one I bought years ago for my sewing machine but I need a nicer one like yours now. Thanks for your videos, I just love them.

Glad the surgery went well! What a great idea to get a doggy stroller🥰 now all we have to do is get you back on track😉, hope your appointment goes well😘
Oh teresa. I totally understand where you are coming from with your health. Since Christmas last year, I have been poorly. I'm 39 and have had 2 heart attacks this year alone. And have never gotten back to full health. I have used all of my sick leave, rec leave and my long service leave. It is taking a toll on every aspect of my life physically, mentally, emotionally, financially. Sending you ❤️ ❤❤
Thank you for your lovely message and I am truly sorry to hear of your ill health and all that has come with it. Your story makes mine sound rather trivial. I wish you all the very best and hope that things improve for you. I have my appointment this week so hoping for answers over the coming weeks/months ❤️ ❤❤
Your stocking is so beautiful! I didn't realize those stockings had all those embellishments on them. So sorry to hear you have been sick again. I am glad you spoke up and asked them to look harder. Sending prayers your way that they can find a cause and treat it.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment and prayers. Fingers crossed I can get to a point where the sickness and illness ends and I can just enjoy life and all it brings. The stocking is with a friend who has agreed to FFO for me - I can't wait to share on the channel when it is done - Happy stitching!
Please take care of yourself. Menopause sucks on so many levels. It took me years to get beyond all the fallout from “ the change”. Glad you are consulting a rheumatologist- mine was helpful, but also added a consult with an immunologist. We went to great lengths to bolster my own immune system and things are much better. That said, I still get infections worthy of antibiotics but usually clears with a normal length course. Hang in there. Hope Bonnie and her knee do well.
Thank you for your lovely message. Pleased to report Bonnie's surgery went well and she is back at home with us now. I'm hopeful that the rheumatologist can help in some way
I would love to see how the stocking is finished! Im planning on making one for the MIL but haven't made a stocking before Im sorry to hear about the ongoing health issues, it's a massive mental health strain to be constantly unwell. Ive been there before and was fed antibiotics until they ran out of different ones to try. I was eventually referred to a specialist who took less than 20 min to diagnose the issue. There's still hope yet for you Teresa!
Teresa, lots of prayers and hugs to you and your little girl Bonnie. Thank you for sharing all of what August will bring. You'll be in my daily thoughts and prayers.
Thank you for your lovely comment. Bon Bons is back home with us now post op, she is very sore, but still insists that she wants to do all the things and very frustrated with her confinement life after only 1 day lol. I'm hoping that once she knows the routine she will settle down a bit. We have soft crates, play pen and now a new doggy stroller arriving Monday so she can come out on the walks for a breath of fresh air without the walking bit, plus I can push her from room to room in the house so she doesn't get left behind - she doesn't like being left behind in a room and watching Honey swan off with the humans lol.
Best wishes for you and Bonbon. It sounds like you are going to have your hands full. Have patience and remember to look at the bigger picture. She will get better and will be running around soon.
So sorry to hear you have been poorly again and to hear that little bon bon will be going through what sounds like nasty surgery. Much love and hugs xxx❤
I know how scary it can be to plan for your fur baby. I have 2 Labs and 1 of them has had both her ACL's repaired. Sounds similar in some ways to your pups surgery, shifting bone with plates and screws. She had to be confined for 8-10 weeks. It's work to keep them both happy but you can do it. The pop up should be great since she can't jump in it. I would plan separate potty times for less stress on you. I found snuffle mats and frozen kongs to be helpful to burn off a little energy. It'll be over before you know it.
Prayers for Bonnie. That little pen is cute, but make sure that Bonnie or Honey can chew a hole in it. If they get a hole started, it's game over for her isolation. Glad your mom is doing so good.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Lots of hugs and love to you and Bonbon!! I had an English Springer that had to have both hips replaced when she was 14 months old. And we had eight dogs (thats another story in itself). I love the popup you got for her! Heck I'd get two, one for upstairs and one for downstairs. We built a ramp so our dog could get in /out of the house easier. The Other dogs knew she was on the mend, and we taught them their boundaries. I believe with all my heart it will work out! As for you sweet lady, I am so sorry to hear about your health issues. 15 Years ago, I was diagnosed with stage 2 Breast cancer, and my Oncologist said (once all the surgery and treatment were done) the main thing I needed to do going forward was to reduce the stress in my life. And boy she was right. Take care and know lots of hugs and love is coming your way!!! We will see you again when you are ready. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Aww wishing wee Bonnie all the very best for later this week - I really hope its manageable to keep her contained and that Honey doesn’t fret and pine about it. Poor wee fluffers. Wishing you and Darren all the best for the recovery process. Also the games are at a much more social time over here, in the host country so please send your mum over hahaha. My brother has been to a couple of games as it is so so cheap!! Like $10NZ a ticket which is probably about 6 or 7 quid! Hope your health issues resolve, and that you can get some stitchy time in at some point (obvs when it fits round Bon-bon). I loved your stocking finish, so pretty! Take care, Nic x

My mum will be so jealous when I show her this message, if she was a few years younger for that price she would have gone to most of the matches for that price lol. Happy stitching!
Your FFO is gorgeous. I voted for the red but the green is absolutely gorgeous. Im so sorry about your health issues. I will be praying for you and please keep us posted on you and Bonnie.
Kidney infections….even without allergic reactions to antibiotics….truly pack a punch. Like any major organ (think lungs and pneumonia) it is normal for it to take three months before one feels back to normal energy levels. I don’t now how you have managed to keep working …..I was off six weeks recovering from the one that I had! I really hope your rheumatology consult next week is insightful and you get the answers you are looking for. Hugs to both you and Bonnie……I hope her surgery went well and she is recovering as one would expect. You have put in a lot of thought as to how this six week period will look….no doubt the plan will be tweaked as you see how things unfold. Thankfully time flies so before too long all of this will soon be in your rear view mirror and you and puppy will be in a better place! Take good care…..and take time to rest and heal!
Thank you for your lovely message. Pleased to report Bonnie's surgery went well and she is back at home with us now. She is very sore, but that doesn't seem to be stopping her from wanting to try and play and escape her new confinement life.
I hope the surgery for Bonbon goes well, and she makes a speedy recovery! Let's hope the Dr can find out what's wrong. You have had an awful time of it lately. Also, Happy Anniversary for the 4th.
First Happy Anniversary! Second you and Bonnie are in my thoughts and prayers. Hoping all goes well with her surgery and healing. Prayer for answers to all your issues as well. Take care.
Thank you for your lovely message Jean. I'm pleased to report Bon Bon's surgery went well and she is now home with us.

Poor little Bonnie is in my thoughts and prayers. Wishing her much love and a good recovery. Prayers for you too my dear. Hoping you get some answers. As always, your stitching is beautiful. Great job on the stocking!!
I totally understand your concerns about the girls and trying to keep them apart. We also have two fur babies and have had them both spayed, but at different times. Just keeping one of them from the other was the biggest part of our days as they each recovered. I'm glad to hear that you are looking into what's going on with you. I have to agree that I don't think menapause is the cause of all of this. You're starting the journey to getting it sorted out and that's a positive step, imo. Take good care. Looking forward to hearing how little Bonbon makes out. Hugs - Steph x
Hello Teresa, sorry I am late to this video and I hope Bonnies surgery has gone well. I am also so sorry that you have been really poorly and added insult to injury a reaction to the medication, well both medications. The problem is there are 2 names to nearly every drug and you need keep both in your head as sometimes it can be missed. I hope both of you are feeling brighter and are mending together. The stocking is amazing and I am sure your Boss will love and treasure it every time it comes out during the Christmas season. I am so pleased that mum is doing well and enjoying the women's football. Thinking of you all. One suggestion is to take really good probiotics while you are on the antibiotics to help your gut flora we recommend that to all our women that need to take prolonged antibiotics.
Awesome! I was just Bing watching your videos and now you’ve popped a new one on. ❤ it! Woman, you’ve been really through the wringer. Family first…. Including dogs 🐕. As for your anniversary…. Go out to dinner before she has her surgery. I am sending you good vibes on your health issues. That’s some crazy stuff! Make sure you get some good yogurt in you after you’re finished with your antibiotics. Wishing you a speedy recovery (and Bonnie, as well) Take care of you. 😘🤟🏼
Bonnie's surgery went well and she is now hope - sore and confused why she is in pop up playpen and crates only - but it needs to be done. The cruel to be kind rule springs to mind
Best wishes to you 🤞 hopefully you will get better and see if can check all that you suspect, let me tell you after my 40 years old all autoimmune illness attack me from 0 health issues to a 10 in a scale that it was a total destruction of my body, from not even have a simple cold to diagnose RA rheumatoid Arthritis , MS multiple sclerosis, IBS , 1 operation to a total broken leg and on the same week after the operation, broke my shoulder in 3 places all these on the right side of the body, so I had to be in a bed for 3 months, 1 operation to a large abscess on my left breast, due to the also fibromyalgia that I also have the right side of the body is totally numb my right hand doesn't feel much but I still try to do crochet and knitting and also needlework on the frames, I am 54 now and will not 🚫 let all this to win me over, I sleep not many hours but I have the pleasure to see videos like your one's and you are very beautiful to let yourself go down, okay 👍 to the doctors always ask everything and challenge them to investigate all because if you don't do it they will not do it, my experience to let you know that, I also live in England in Kent, I am living in England for more than 24 years now I love this country and we respect the people, never had no issues of discrimination, my husband works harder because I can't now, my 2 children are 1 a double Master in mathematics and teaching, and the other a PhD in forensic psychology... they're our best achievements in life, and we live with 3 dogs that are amazing. My best wishes for you and your family life and don't give up even if it hurts to do so.
Good luck with Bonbon’s surgery! You could ask your vet about using trazadone (a sedative) post surgery. I used it after my dogs spay surgery but also know another German shepherd owner who used it for their dog when it needed ACL repair and the dog had to be on crate rest for 8-12 weeks. While you may feel badly about sedating her, it may actually help ensure she rests and can heal properly. 6 weeks of keeping her calm so she heals is better than possibly having something happen afterwards. ❤❤
Oh I’m so sorry you’re going through so much right now. I hope the rheumatologist gives you some answers- I went for literally years with symptoms of my autoimmune disease- which contributed to the 2 premature births of my children- and was eventually diagnosed years later when the multiple issues it causes couldn’t be ignored anymore. So you definitely have my sympathy as I know how debilitating these conditions can be. And as a vet nurse, my heart also goes out to you for your BonBon. I work with an orthopaedic surgeon and do these procedures fairly often and I understand how scary it can all be. Sounds like you’ve got lots of love and care lined up her though- and that’s what she’ll need most to heal quickly. Thinking of you and wishing you and bonnie well xx
Sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well! I wish you and your Doggo the best of luck with the surgery! I hope we get to see you more when you are feeling better. Sending Happy vibes!🙏
Dear Teresa I am so very sorry to hear in what you are going through how is bonnie doing how did it all go?

I hope you and Bonnie are feeling better soon, lots of hugs
Oh boy Teresa, your plate is truly over flowing, good luck with it all x
Thanks so much 😊 I'm pleased to report Bon Bons is back home with us now post op, she is very sore, but still insists that she wants to do all the things and very frustrated with her confinement life after only 1 day lol. I'm hoping that once she knows the routine she will settle down a bit. We have a new doggy stroller arriving Monday so she can come out on the walks for a breath of fresh air without the walking bit, plus I can push her from room to room in the house so she doesn't get left behind - she doesn't like being left behind in a room and watching Honey swan off with the humans lol. I have my appointment this week so hoping to get some answers over the coming weeks. I'm sure when Bonnie gets use to the new way of life she will give me time to do an update video
Hello Teresa wonderful to see you but so sorry to hear of your poor health and for dear sweet Bon Bon’s operation sending you both get well wishes 🙏❤️💐 beautiful stitching love your Christmas stocking.
Thank you for your lovely message! I'm pleased to report Bon Bons is back home with us now post op, she is very sore, but still insists that she wants to do all the things and very frustrated with her confinement life after only 1 day lol. I'm hoping that once she knows the routine she will settle down a bit. We have soft crate, soft play pen and now a new doggy stroller arriving Monday so she can come out on the walks for a breath of fresh air without the walking bit, plus I can push her from room to room in the house so she doesn't get left behind - she doesn't like being left behind in a room and watching Honey swan off with the humans lol. I have my appointment this week so hoping to get some answers over the coming weeks. I'm sure when Bonnie gets use to the new way of life she will give me time to do an update video. The stocking is now with the lovely friend who has agreed to do the finishing - fingers crossed I should get it back mid September and I can share the final FFO before it is handed off to my boss.
I hadn’t watched you for awhile. I watched this yesterday and got all worried about you and your puppy. Now,I see you posted August, so I don’t have to worry anymore. ❤
Hope you start to feel better soon and hope everything goes well for Bonnie take care xxx
Remember it's World Cross Stitch Day 11th August 2023...Happy Stitching everyone x
Lovely stitching again. Thinking of you and your family. Hope the surgery went well and you get some answers soon. Take care of yourself.
Hey Teresa, I always enjoy watching your videos and your beautiful stitching. I'm now stitching the Robert Stocking Santa using the Richard Stocking threads and scenery.. Mixing it up. I must say it's very addictive.. Santa must be magical!. or it's just a welcome break from 40ct 😂.. anyway, my best wishes to you ,your mum and your puppies.. give your mum my cheers for Wednesdays game 😊🤗😊... Go the Matildas ⚽️.. Cheers Morena.. from Australia 😊💖😊
Good luck with Bonnie’s operation, and your on going medical issues Teresa, hopefully things will be improving quickly & give you your quality of health & life back ❤x
Best wishes!
Take care 🤞🏻🤗
Sounds like you have a very busy life. I do not know how you find the time to stitch but it is good that you do. I find it's a form of therapy for me. Love all your projects. I hope you feel better soon my love and Bon Bon too. 💕 So happy to hear your Mum is doing well. Take care Teresa. Always lovely to see you. ❤
You're such a lovely woman. On the Mirabilia, she just wanted to give you something nice. You deserve it.
Poor BonBon. Our Tinkie had had the same surgery when he was small and he had a hard time after it. All went well otherwise.
I hope she will heal soon after the surgery.
A tip for the stairs from the deck out. Take some planks over them and its gonna be like a ramp to walk on for her.
Gosh, sweetie… you are going through a lot… keep us updated… all the best for your test and hope Bonnie will get through it nicely… take care of you my little T…. Love you… 👋❤️🥰😘
Hi Theresa,
Enjoyed seeing your video. The stocking is gorgeous. I like the little cabinet with your magnetic stitched panel… what a great idea!
May you soon be well and your Bonbon too. Love, hugs and prayers from NC/USA
get better soon Teresa and your little Bon Bon happy to see you again
All the very best to you and the puppies. Poor Bonnie! Poor you! Hope you’re both feeling your best again v soon.
Thank you so much! Fingers crossed we will all be back to normal soon!
Hi Teresa, your FFO is gorgeous. 🌟🌟🌟 I think your choice with the green is perfect. Your stocking is beautiful. 🌟🌟🌟 🙏 sending lots of 🙏🙏🙏 your health gets under control. 🙏 Happy Stitching. ❤❤❤
Hi Theresa
Love all of your WIPS - they are so pretty. You are making great progress on them.
Sorry you had to go through what you did. Keeping all of you in my Prayers.
Take Care & Happy Stitching
❤️🤗🙏🧵🪡🧵❤️
Happy Anniversary!❤🎉
Get well, love & healing to you & bonbon
You should realise that we all appreciate your channel that’s why Jonni would have sent you that chart. Happy days x
Thanks for commenting. Yes I do feel truly loved from this community and such a kind and overwhelming RAK. I will be sure to be thinking of how wonderful this community is each time I work on the project once I get it started.
Poor Bonnie... I hope she recovers quickly and well!
I had a pit-mix puppy (Chance) when I was a teen who had a similar issue. I don't know if it's just that veterinary medicine has gotten better with this sort of thing since then (this was in 1998, so I would hope so😅), but it was recommended that we amputate the limb rather than put him through the pain of the alternative. We did ultimately take the vet's advice and I'm glad we did. Chance recovered well and I don't think he ever really noticed he was missing anything. He still ran us all ragged for the remaining 12 years of his life 😂
Praying for you and Bonnie. Your stitching is beautiful and it’s amazing how you can do everything you do. Know that we all love you and wish the best for you. ❤
Thank you so much! What would I do without you all with the positive comments, well wishes, support and encouragement.
Hi Teresa, sending all best wishes to you to find out what is going on with your health issues, i know that feeling, and also wishing a good recovery to Bonnie. Love your stocking. Hope you get some stitchy time to help you through it. Take care❤🌼🌺
So I’ve actually been down both roads you discussed at the end. First your doggie. My (now dearly departed) dog had knee surgery years ago for a torn ACL. She was confined to crate rest for 8 weeks after, no stairs, all of that like yours will be. Only she was a 40lb medium sized mixed breed and it was a good thing I was young and had a good back at the time because carrying her was a LOT. So the first nights they come home are really hard. They had my dog on some strong opiates and she was high as a kite and very confused and it was hard to see her like that. I ended up sleeping on the floor next to her crate for three nights and her cat (who very much loved his dog) would enter the crate and sleep with her to calm her. So all that to say is those first few nights are VERY stressful, but things do settle, so try to not be too anxious about it. One thing no one warned me about what that she would be so constipated from all the opiates from the surgery so I fed her a lot of canned pumpkin to move things along so it wasn’t terrible for her. But yeah I had to watch her like a hawk and because she was a larger dog there was a strict no furniture rule for months because I couldn’t risk her taking a leap onto her newly mended knee.
On the second thing- I have rheumatoid arthritis and for me it presented not as the classic swollen joints (although they eventually happened) but initially it was bad health and fatigue and then my feet just seemed to crumble and they hurt so bad despite the fact that I’ve never worn “bad” shoes. The first rheumatologist told me everything was all in my head. Took me another four years to work up the nerve to find a second and it was actually a kind foot doctor who sent me to someone who was very good. And initially he was like “something’s wrong, but it’s not clear yet.” So he trialed some medicine, and in the meantime it became clear in about a year when the RA started to present classically. He told me it takes about 6 years for autoimmune patients to get a diagnosis, and usually three doctors. It took four different trials over two years to land on a medicine that worked for me. So I tell you this to say that autoimmune diseases are really hard to diagnose and you have to fight as a patient. I had symptoms years before my blood work finally turned and it was a constellation of weird things that no one caught until I saw the second rheumatologist. So just know that you may not get answers right away and that it’s always worth to keep pushing if the answers they give you don’t seem to be enough. So my advice before you see the rheumatologist is to write down all your symptoms, how often they occur, and when they occur. Type it up so it’s clear and succinct on a sheet of paper and give it to them. Be very specific and don’t be vague. And when you go in to tell them why you are there have your reason boiled down to a two minute speech and have the sheet to give to them. That’s how they take you seriously. They’ll do a bunch of blood work but a good rheumatologist will also physically check all the potential problem spots in your body and don’t trust one who doesn’t. (Mine feels all my joints and moves them looking for swelling) they should be poking you like a prize pony. Also know that x rays only show joint damage when it’s badly damaged, and they don’t show joint inflammation. Ultrasounds show much more (how I was diagnoses) and specific MRIS show a lot. Anyway those are my basic tips, and if you want more advice on it, let me know and I can email you. I’ve been through the wringer with it and I really hope you don’t have to go through it yourself.
Good luck. May august go smoother than expected.
Hi hun. Love all yr beautiful projects. Yr 🧦 is gorgeous 😍 hope yr little doggie gets better soon. Give them both a big hug from me. Hope life gets easier for you soon. Take care. Xc
Thanks so much 😊 Bon Bons is back home with us now post op, she is very sore, but still insists that she wants to do all the things and very frustrated with her confinement life only after 1 day lol. Lots of kisses and cuddles seems to make her a little happier. I'm hoping that once she knows the routine she will settle down a bit.
I'll be praying that you to get some answers and for your fur babies.
Wishing Bonnie good luck and hope all goes well. I know how stressful it is when pets are unwell or need treatment, you feel so helpless trying to know what's best for them..I also hope you get some answers with your health issues. All the very beat wishes and happy stitching
You really aren’t having too much luck with your health at the moment! Hope that you and your fur girl are feeling much better very soon. xx
Dear Teresa, your stocking looks great your boss is going to love it. All of your stitching is always so beautiful. Sorry to hear that you haven’t been feeling well. I pray that the doctors find a solution for you. Tomorrow is August 3 so I just now heard about poor little Bonnie. She’s lucky to have such a loving mom as you. She’s going to enjoy sitting with you while you stitch, I remember how your other little pooch loved sitting with you. I saw someone suggest that you have one of those little pens for upstairs that’s a good idea also maybe a ramp on your deck for those two steps I don’t know if she can hit do a ramp . Poor little puppies. Please take care of yourself. I always look forward to seeing your videos you are a real joy. Even if you don’t have anything to show for Stitching, maybe you’ll pop on to let us know how you’re doing, I feel like I’m visiting with a good friend . You are in my prayers sweet lady.
Thank you for your lovely comment! Your kind words mean so much to me. Bon Bons is home post-surgery now, very sore, but that doesn't stop her from thinking she can do all the things; she is very confused about why she has to stay behind bars even only after 1 day - I am sure she will adapt over the coming days. Your support makes sharing my videos a joy, and I'm grateful to have you as a wonderful stitching friend in this community. I'm sure I will find the time in the coming weeks to post an update on how things are going. Sending you lots of love and gratitude! 🌺❤️🙏
Prayers for your sweet fur baby. Keep us posted how she does. And definetly get to the bottom of your health issues while your still young. Prayers for you and Miss Bonnie. ❤❤❤ Take care of the both of you.
Thank you for your lovely message!

I hope you are able to get some answers and treatment for your health issues. I hope your sweet little dog recovers quickly.
Love your stitching so beautiful
Hi, hope everything is sorted health wise, David will totally love his stocking x
Today is the day before surgery for Miss Bonnie. Sending all the love and healing vibes to you both. I hope for cooler weather, so being in doors is one less thing to manage. I hope the surgery is boring and efficient.
Check with her Vet and I hope she wont need it. Our fur babies would be successful with this bland diet for awhile: cooked brown rice, Gerber (baby food) chicken and gravy, with pumpkin. Especially if Miss Bonnie struggles between loose and/or being blocked up. She will have lots of pain meds which can cause blockage.
❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for your lovely message I must admit I’m dreading tomorrow for little Bon Bon’s. But has to be done for her to live her best life, so worth the pain and effort needed. Thank you for the tips I will talk to vets
Beautiful finish🎉
You are going to have quite a time with the girls. Hugs
Will pray all goes well on Thursday (my bday) It's so hard when they go thru surgeries, etc. ❤
💖💖💖
Know how you feel, really struggling with my health too. You're doing well to come across so chippa :)
Hey Joanne! So long since we have seen each other! Yes, I'm hoping over the coming months I can get my health issues under control and start living life without having to deal with feeling rotten all the time. It takes its toll that is for sure - hope you are keeping well and doing all your crafty things 😊
I hope all goes well and Bonnie recovers quickly!
We used one of those playpens when Patches was tiny, it was perfect for keeping him safe at night. I hope that you are feeling much better and that your sweet little puppy is recovering. Huge hugs Happy stitching Patty
What a lot going on Teresa. Im wishing Bonnie a successful op and a speedy recovery, it’s no fun post op trying to keep pets settled at all, hope she doesn’t mind her new routine for a while. Hope you get some answers re your own health, take acidophilus capsules for your tummy along side your anti biotics, they will replace the good bacteria’s, high strength garlic capsules too to keep any fungal growth from occurring and grapefruit if you like it. Love the finish, it’s going to look great made up, I enjoyed your update, enjoy august despite all the things going on 🙂
Thank you for sharing all your beautiful stitching. Love seeing all your progress. Sorry to hear your going through a tough time at the moment. Hope everything goes smoothly with Bonnie. And I hope you get sorted soon too. Take care, hopefully you can enjoy some stitching time 😊❤
Oh my goodness! You have so much to cope with! Your pen looks great for BonBon. Hunny may surprise you and sense that her sister is not well. Especially in the first weeks. I think it will be good for them to see each other through the pen wall. Thank goodness she is small, so picking her up is manageable for you. I had a Shetland Sheepdog that had that surgery, although not nearly at that stage. I will be saying lots of prayers for BonBon and for you. Please do post a quick something on here or instagram or Facebook. just to let us know she came through the procedure all right, and then when she gets home.
Hope everything goes well for Bonnie and yourself and that you get some stitching in❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤lots and lots of love and hugs to you and little Bonnie 😘 your Santa stocking is stunning and loving your FFO it looks fantastic 😍😍😍
Prayers going out to you and yours. The out of print is a beautiful gift. When finished, give the love to someone else but put a note in it for them to pass along. Sign the pattern. Your FO is gorgeous.
That’s so thoughtful of you Gail, Thanks for your positive review,How are you and how’s the weather over there?
Thank you for commenting and what a wonderful idea of passing on as a give away and the signing of the chart! Can you imagine if all continue signing and all the names it would have attached to it!
I’m so sorry you’ve been ill. I’ve had kidney infections and they are no fun. Also, we have a 97 lb German Shepherd who had his hip replaced a couple of years ago. We slept downstairs with him the first two weeks and then rigged up a blanket and between the two of us and carried him upstairs at night. We have two steps outside and carried him down and then back up again for the first couple of weeks also. This was a real laugh riot let me tell you. My hubby and I are sixty…yeah. My upper body got really strong. When hubby was working I even got good at lifting Archie up and into the car for vet appointments. One question, you are so great at sorting things out can you please tell me what kind of chair you have? I have one I bought years ago for my sewing machine but I need a nicer one like yours now. Thanks for your videos, I just love them.
The pop up is perfect for keeping Bonnie! I've used it for cats and kittens and its great. Sending Bonnie love!
Hope all goes well for you ánd Bonnie! What a rough time you are going through 😢. Best wishes and prayers for you all😘
Thank you for your lovely message I'm pleased to report Bonnie's surgery went well and she is now home with us.
She is very sore, but still insists that she wants to do all the things and very frustrated with her confinement life after only 1 day lol. I'm hoping that once she knows the routine she will settle down a bit. We have soft crate, soft play pen and now a new doggy stroller arriving Monday so she can come out on the walks for a breath of fresh air without the walking bit, plus I can push her from room to room in the house so she doesn't get left behind - she doesn't like being left behind in a room and watching Honey swan off with the humans lol.

Glad the surgery went well! What a great idea to get a doggy stroller🥰 now all we have to do is get you back on track😉, hope your appointment goes well😘
Dear Theresa, I’m so sorry to hear about your health issues. Hope the doctors will find how to solve them soon.
Thank you so much!
Best wishes to you and Bonnie..sending you prayers to a full rapid recovery
Oh teresa. I totally understand where you are coming from with your health. Since Christmas last year, I have been poorly. I'm 39 and have had 2 heart attacks this year alone. And have never gotten back to full health. I have used all of my sick leave, rec leave and my long service leave. It is taking a toll on every aspect of my life physically, mentally, emotionally, financially. Sending you ❤️ ❤❤
Thank you for your lovely message and I am truly sorry to hear of your ill health and all that has come with it. Your story makes mine sound rather trivial. I wish you all the very best and hope that things improve for you. I have my appointment this week so hoping for answers over the coming weeks/months ❤️ ❤❤
Your stocking is so beautiful! I didn't realize those stockings had all those embellishments on them. So sorry to hear you have been sick again. I am glad you spoke up and asked them to look harder. Sending prayers your way that they can find a cause and treat it.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment and prayers. Fingers crossed I can get to a point where the sickness and illness ends and I can just enjoy life and all it brings. The stocking is with a friend who has agreed to FFO for me - I can't wait to share on the channel when it is done - Happy stitching!
Please take care of yourself. Menopause sucks on so many levels. It took me years to get beyond all the fallout from “ the change”. Glad you are consulting a rheumatologist- mine was helpful, but also added a consult with an immunologist. We went to great lengths to bolster my own immune system and things are much better. That said, I still get infections worthy of antibiotics but usually clears with a normal length course. Hang in there. Hope Bonnie and her knee do well.
Thank you for your lovely message. Pleased to report Bonnie's surgery went well and she is back at home with us now. I'm hopeful that the rheumatologist can help in some way
Ooo Mrs your bog roll cupboard turned out lovely in the end tbh I really like and I’m really looking forward to seeing the end results of ffo ❤❤
Love your finishes e wips lve to watch your chanel you teach us a lot keep it up nice stuff you stitch
I would love to see how the stocking is finished! Im planning on making one for the MIL but haven't made a stocking before
Im sorry to hear about the ongoing health issues, it's a massive mental health strain to be constantly unwell. Ive been there before and was fed antibiotics until they ran out of different ones to try. I was eventually referred to a specialist who took less than 20 min to diagnose the issue. There's still hope yet for you Teresa!
Teresa, lots of prayers and hugs to you and your little girl Bonnie. Thank you for sharing all of what August will bring. You'll be in my daily thoughts and prayers.
Thank you for your lovely comment. Bon Bons is back home with us now post op, she is very sore, but still insists that she wants to do all the things and very frustrated with her confinement life after only 1 day lol. I'm hoping that once she knows the routine she will settle down a bit.

Best wishes for you and Bonbon. It sounds like you are going to have your hands full. Have patience and remember to look at the bigger picture. She will get better and will be running around soon.
So sorry to hear you have been poorly again and to hear that little bon bon will be going through what sounds like nasty surgery. Much love and hugs xxx❤
I know how scary it can be to plan for your fur baby. I have 2 Labs and 1 of them has had both her ACL's repaired. Sounds similar in some ways to your pups surgery, shifting bone with plates and screws. She had to be confined for 8-10 weeks. It's work to keep them both happy but you can do it. The pop up should be great since she can't jump in it. I would plan separate potty times for less stress on you. I found snuffle mats and frozen kongs to be helpful to burn off a little energy. It'll be over before you know it.
Prayers for Bonnie. That little pen is cute, but make sure that Bonnie or Honey can chew a hole in it. If they get a hole started, it's game over for her isolation. Glad your mom is doing so good.
Teresa, you are in my prayers! I’m so glad you can at least be home in August to keep a close eye on your pooch.
Will be keeping in my prayers hopefully everything gets sorted and you find out what is going on
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Lots of hugs and love to you and Bonbon!! I had an English Springer that had to have both hips replaced when she was 14 months old. And we had eight dogs (thats another story in itself). I love the popup you got for her! Heck I'd get two, one for upstairs and one for downstairs. We built a ramp so our dog could get in /out of the house easier. The Other dogs knew she was on the mend, and we taught them their boundaries. I believe with all my heart it will work out! As for you sweet lady, I am so sorry to hear about your health issues. 15 Years ago, I was diagnosed with stage 2 Breast cancer, and my Oncologist said (once all the surgery and treatment were done) the main thing I needed to do going forward was to reduce the stress in my life. And boy she was right. Take care and know lots of hugs and love is coming your way!!! We will see you again when you are ready. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Aww wishing wee Bonnie all the very best for later this week - I really hope its manageable to keep her contained and that Honey doesn’t fret and pine about it. Poor wee fluffers. Wishing you and Darren all the best for the recovery process. Also the games are at a much more social time over here, in the host country so please send your mum over hahaha. My brother has been to a couple of games as it is so so cheap!! Like $10NZ a ticket which is probably about 6 or 7 quid! Hope your health issues resolve, and that you can get some stitchy time in at some point (obvs when it fits round Bon-bon). I loved your stocking finish, so pretty! Take care, Nic x
Thank you for your lovely message Nic. I'm pleased to report Bon Bon's surgery went well and she is now home with us.

My mum will be so jealous when I show her this message, if she was a few years younger for that price she would have gone to most of the matches for that price lol. Happy stitching!
Your FFO is gorgeous. I voted for the red but the green is absolutely gorgeous. Im so sorry about your health issues. I will be praying for you and please keep us posted on you and Bonnie.
Kidney infections….even without allergic reactions to antibiotics….truly pack a punch. Like any major organ (think lungs and pneumonia) it is normal for it to take three months before one feels back to normal energy levels. I don’t now how you have managed to keep working …..I was off six weeks recovering from the one that I had! I really hope your rheumatology consult next week is insightful and you get the answers you are looking for. Hugs to both you and Bonnie……I hope her surgery went well and she is recovering as one would expect. You have put in a lot of thought as to how this six week period will look….no doubt the plan will be tweaked as you see how things unfold. Thankfully time flies so before too long all of this will soon be in your rear view mirror and you and puppy will be in a better place! Take good care…..and take time to rest and heal!
Thank you for your lovely message. Pleased to report Bonnie's surgery went well and she is back at home with us now. She is very sore, but that doesn't seem to be stopping her from wanting to try and play and escape her new confinement life.
I wish Bonnie a speedy recovery from her surgery. I hope you are soon restored to good health. Take good care of yourself ❤
I hope the surgery for Bonbon goes well, and she makes a speedy recovery!
Let's hope the Dr can find out what's wrong. You have had an awful time of it lately.
Also, Happy Anniversary for the 4th.
First Happy Anniversary! Second you and Bonnie are in my thoughts and prayers. Hoping all goes well with her surgery and healing. Prayer for answers to all your issues as well. Take care.
That’s so thoughtful of you Jean, Thanks for your positive review,How are you and how’s the weather over there?
Thank you for your lovely message Jean. I'm pleased to report Bon Bon's surgery went well and she is now home with us.

Poor little Bonnie is in my thoughts and prayers. Wishing her much love and a good recovery. Prayers for you too my dear. Hoping you get some answers. As always, your stitching is beautiful. Great job on the stocking!!
I totally understand your concerns about the girls and trying to keep them apart. We also have two fur babies and have had them both spayed, but at different times. Just keeping one of them from the other was the biggest part of our days as they each recovered. I'm glad to hear that you are looking into what's going on with you. I have to agree that I don't think menapause is the cause of all of this. You're starting the journey to getting it sorted out and that's a positive step, imo. Take good care. Looking forward to hearing how little Bonbon makes out. Hugs - Steph x
Hello Teresa, sorry I am late to this video and I hope Bonnies surgery has gone well. I am also so sorry that you have been really poorly and added insult to injury a reaction to the medication, well both medications. The problem is there are 2 names to nearly every drug and you need keep both in your head as sometimes it can be missed. I hope both of you are feeling brighter and are mending together. The stocking is amazing and I am sure your Boss will love and treasure it every time it comes out during the Christmas season. I am so pleased that mum is doing well and enjoying the women's football. Thinking of you all. One suggestion is to take really good probiotics while you are on the antibiotics to help your gut flora we recommend that to all our women that need to take prolonged antibiotics.
Awesome! I was just Bing watching your videos and now you’ve popped a new one on. ❤ it!
Woman, you’ve been really through the wringer. Family first…. Including dogs 🐕. As for your anniversary…. Go out to dinner before she has her surgery. I am sending you good vibes on your health issues. That’s some crazy stuff! Make sure you get some good yogurt in you after you’re finished with your antibiotics.
Wishing you a speedy recovery (and Bonnie, as well)
Take care of you. 😘🤟🏼
Your stocking is gorgeous. I hope Bonnie’s surgery went well today and everyone is on the mend. Thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery to all.
Bonnie's surgery went well and she is now hope - sore and confused why she is in pop up playpen and crates only - but it needs to be done. The cruel to be kind rule springs to mind
Have you seen the fancy ladies by the brand passion Ricamo the prosperity fairy is especially beautiful and I think you will love
I will check it out 🫣
Love and best thoughts for Bonnie and you! Hope surgery went as planned and healing has begun❤️
Wishing you and Bonnie a healthy August. Hopefully you will get a few stitching moments as she recovers.
Best wishes to you 🤞 hopefully you will get better and see if can check all that you suspect, let me tell you after my 40 years old all autoimmune illness attack me from 0 health issues to a 10 in a scale that it was a total destruction of my body, from not even have a simple cold to diagnose RA rheumatoid Arthritis , MS multiple sclerosis, IBS , 1 operation to a total broken leg and on the same week after the operation, broke my shoulder in 3 places all these on the right side of the body, so I had to be in a bed for 3 months, 1 operation to a large abscess on my left breast, due to the also fibromyalgia that I also have the right side of the body is totally numb my right hand doesn't feel much but I still try to do crochet and knitting and also needlework on the frames, I am 54 now and will not 🚫 let all this to win me over, I sleep not many hours but I have the pleasure to see videos like your one's and you are very beautiful to let yourself go down, okay 👍 to the doctors always ask everything and challenge them to investigate all because if you don't do it they will not do it, my experience to let you know that, I also live in England in Kent, I am living in England for more than 24 years now I love this country and we respect the people, never had no issues of discrimination, my husband works harder because I can't now, my 2 children are 1 a double Master in mathematics and teaching, and the other a PhD in forensic psychology... they're our best achievements in life, and we live with 3 dogs that are amazing.
My best wishes for you and your family life and don't give up even if it hurts to do so.
Good luck with Bonbon’s surgery! You could ask your vet about using trazadone (a sedative) post surgery. I used it after my dogs spay surgery but also know another German shepherd owner who used it for their dog when it needed ACL repair and the dog had to be on crate rest for 8-12 weeks. While you may feel badly about sedating her, it may actually help ensure she rests and can heal properly. 6 weeks of keeping her calm so she heals is better than possibly having something happen afterwards. ❤❤
Oh I’m so sorry you’re going through so much right now. I hope the rheumatologist gives you some answers- I went for literally years with symptoms of my autoimmune disease- which contributed to the 2 premature births of my children- and was eventually diagnosed years later when the multiple issues it causes couldn’t be ignored anymore. So you definitely have my sympathy as I know how debilitating these conditions can be. And as a vet nurse, my heart also goes out to you for your BonBon. I work with an orthopaedic surgeon and do these procedures fairly often and I understand how scary it can all be. Sounds like you’ve got lots of love and care lined up her though- and that’s what she’ll need most to heal quickly. Thinking of you and wishing you and bonnie well xx
Sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well! I wish you and your Doggo the best of luck with the surgery! I hope we get to see you more when you are feeling better. Sending Happy vibes!🙏
Hope you both recover quickly ⚾️
