Yesterday I had to dance at a primary school and we need this dance with ribbons, like really long ones you swirl about and OMG my shoulder is killing me!

talking of bombs, we had a bomb scare at uni last week. some idiot left a suitcase in the library unattended. the whole of uni was cordened (sp?) off and there were loads of police and the bomb disposal people! they blew it up in the end, and it turned out the suitcase had the guys end of term project in lol!Quote:

I didn't pass at AS so there's no way I can pass, even if I do super duper well on my A2s (which wouldn't have happened if I had revised). I know the content but I just can't apply it in the exam. I'm not too bothered by it myself but I feel like I've let my teachers down. I only took physics because everything I wanted to do clashed with business and every other subject bar two I couldn't do because I didn't do them at GCSE. Which left chemistry and physics. I can't stand chemistry so physics it was.
I'm feeling more confident about biology now. I'm remembering a lot more just by going over my notes and spider diagrams every day and saying them out loud.
Anyway, I'll stop waffling and get back to my notes :D
Pretty good day.
Went to the boot sale about 9 this mornign because I'm cool with my Mum Nan my brother and the babies (family day out or waht? lol)
Then came home and was burnt very badly and I'm in so much pain now :(
Had dinner with lots of the family again :)
Then went out for a meal haha for my friends 18th for an Indian which was very yummy :)
On the down side :( My dog is really ill. For the past 3 nights just as he's settling to go to sleep he's started fitting and when he recovers from it his back leg keeps going and he seems really disorientated :( I'm really worried but I can't show it because my Nan is in pieces so I'm the one telling her it's probably something and nothing :(
My Grach is going to take him to the vets tomorrow morning asap so we can gte it sorted and know what it is that's wrong :(
Post-ictal confusion and weakness is common after seizures. How old is he? Has he been ill recently? Sometimes seizures occur when a person or animal is run down and ill.Quote:

I am still waiting on job news nothing yet. so fingers cross i'll hear something today otherwise i'll have to look again, my mates in the same position we are going to town tomorrow to try and have another look at the vacancy list.
Yesterday washed the cars went to the golf range which was fun even though i am really rubbish and went to manchester in the morning to go to church and have a look round.
today i had to go to the bank to pay in my housemates cheques so that i can pay all our bills by the end of the week. then came home and should be tidying but i opened our back door and this black and white cat walked in so i played with it for a bit but it kept walking into our house, which would be ok apart from we are not allowed pets and one of my housemates doesnt like cats! its sitting outside the backdoor still waiting for me to come back which i now feel bad about so might go back and play with it while im making my dinner lol!
awwwwww :( hope your dog gets better kirstyQuote:

Thankyou everyone for your kind messages :)
He went tot he vets this morning and they did a scan and blood tests and they rang and said somethign has changed in his blood so my Granch has to go down there at half 5 and they will explain everything properly.
I hope he'll be ok :(
Went to my brother's sports day today which was a nice few hours out :)
Charity shops are a good place to start if you're willing to work for nothing.Quote:

College tomorrow :(
Day 3 of waiting for my lover to return a love note :wub:.
Did you send it first class? :love: :pQuote:

Scamp is home :D
My Granch went to get him so when he tried to tell us what the vet had said... he'd forgotton most.
Anyways
The vets have him on antibiotics and valium
From what my Granch was saying... I think he's diabetic?
He;s had another fit tonight but he shoudl get better when we have him on antibiotics properly.
The vet did mention something about his liver... and he has a high protein level
I'm pretty pants at Biol so can only suss out basics but for all you Biologists out there... if you could come up with anything that would be a big help :) Thankyou x
In other news, just been dancing and came home and now watching BB :)
I'm not sure about the other stuff but diabetes will mean he will need a shot of insulin everyday I think.
Depends if he's type one or two. Type two is more common in older or overweight people (or dogs). Type one needs daily insulin shots, type two is diet controlled, sometimes together with meds.Quote:

Valium is used as an anticonvulsant, among other things. This is from drugs.com
Basically it will make him more relaxed but high doses may make him clumsy (ataxia). It can also depress the cardiovascular system (heart), although it will come and go.Quote:
In animals, Valium appears to act on parts of the limbic system, the thalamus and hypothalamus, and induces calming effects. Valium, unlike chlorpromazine and reserpine, has no demonstrable peripheral autonomic blocking action, nor does it produce extrapyramidal side effects; however, animals treated with Valium do have a transient ataxia at higher doses. Valium was found to have transient cardiovascular depressor effects in dogs.
It is important that you give the valium at the same time everyday i.e. every twelve or eight hours, depending on the dose. Seizures are caused by neurones in the brain misfiring (sending too many or sending wrong signals to parts of the brain and body). Valium works on receptors in the brain and neurones to calm them down. Suddenly stopping treatment is like letting a junkie go cold turkey (best analogy I could think of)
Unless he has an infection that is causing the seizures (would have to be pretty bad or in his brain/spinal cord to do that) then the antibiotics won't stop the seizures.
High protein levels in the urine are indicative of kidney problems. High protein in the blood can mean a chronic (long term) infection or inflammation.
Who's your lover?Quote:

Third paragraph I can't really remember (wish I scanned it before I sent it :p)
And last sentence was apologising for my scruffy handwriting :p
Oh and the P.S asked for an autograph :lol:
:o
Settling what argument?
:rotfl: Thought you knew! It was Tizzy (Di Marco) and Kasples idea :angel:.. settling how to pronounce Gemmill :lol:. He's gonna think I'm a weirdo ain't he :(. :lol:
I've missed so much. I must have been living on another planet for the past week :lol:
Thankyou so much for all your help everyone
Abigail you're liek a human google... it's brilliant lol
By reading your replies I don' think it's diabetes... I actually think he has Alzheimers (if thats even possible) He jsut seems so disorientated and he's peeing in the house now and again (sorry for the tmi) and he never ever does that... which is what's making me think hes senile or something?
Anyways I'm going to the vets with him Thursday with my Nan to see how he is... I will ask questions because we didn't really find out much today lol :)
He may just be weeing in the house because he doesn't have the energy or strength to get up and go outside.
I'm not sure about Alzheimer's and bladder control. It is certainly possible in the latter stages of the disease when the person has no idea who they are or what's happening. I can't remember how old you said he was but when dogs get old things don't work as well as they should do. A bit like humans, arthritis, joint pain, incontinence etc are all signs of getting old.
Disorientation, seizures and bladder control problem all point to something neurological.
I hope you have pet insurance, it could prove to be very costly.
At least my A level in biology is useful for something :lol:
Haha yeah... I took it for AS but I;'m pretty pants at it anyways so I only know basics ahah. Thankyou :)Quote:

More of the same today :thumbsdow
I dont have to go into college till 2 today, since drama isnt on this week its great :D
And guess what, I only just finished my key skills for the AS year that I did late and handed in last week and now we are doing the key skills for the A2 year and we are going to complete it in these 3 weeks :cheer:
Had RE exam, only 2 more to go now. Both tomorrow so I have to stay in all day. Detested that for Biology and I have to do it for Physics tomorrow .. hate that most.. meh. Dad drove me to RE exam and went to the driving range while I was in the exam and then came back for me so that was good. Don't think he's gonna agree to take me to school and back tomorrow even if he doesn't have to work though :(
Scamps looking better today and acting like his mischievious self :)
On the other hand I feel like complete rubbish.
I'm off up the mountain soon with friends for a BB-Nic (BBQ/Picnic)
I'm not really looking forward to it though :/
It just seems lately as though (yes this may sound completely childish) Im a burden on them. Like my friend asked me to take some food or money but I said that I couldn't because we have like nothing in the house and I'm skint as it is, but fair enough she said that was fine and I could have some food anywys but I said no because I wouldn't do that if I couldn't take anything to contribute but she wasn't taking no for an answer.
However, I then had a text off ym other friend (the one who lies to take control of almost everything) and she said that basically, if you take no money or food you're not eating or anything which is fair...
Oh I don't know I'm just so teary and emotional today that it's stupid. Hoepfully I'll be ok when I go there with everyone though... but I can jsut tell that my one friend is going to wind me up by being so controlling and obsessive.
I feel a bit shakey and tired. I think I've got a migraine coming on too :rolleyes: Great, I'll feel like a zombie tomorrow if I take my migraine meds, not a good idea as I have exams all day. At least I'll get to sleep at a decent time.
Another hour of revision then I'll have a shower and go to bed :D
I've had duck for tea :D I really like duck. Maybe that's what has set my migraine off, its the only thing that I've had in the last eight hours that I don't normally eat (it's too expensive to be a regular occurance, half a duck cost £8 :eek:).
