PNEUMONIA!!! Hasn't she had the pneumonia shot!!!! Like you, I hope they keep her there a few days!

yes she had the shot and this makes the second time she has had it since Oct. It's wierd because this just came on all of a sudden ( makes me wonder if it is really pneumonia) but everything else came back ok, even a CT scan.
Sorry didn't mean to steal your thread.

{{{{{{Lynne b}}}}}} I'm so sorry that you're going through all of this with your Mom. I know that it's hard on you.

Lynne!!! Why didn't you call and let me know. I thought I saw your online light on early this afternoon and when I went back to check it was off. Thought I was seeing things. I hope she gets to stay awhile too, especially to make sure she gets over it good.

My mom is in Florida now....suppose to start the shots and probably the dialysis, but she doesn't even get into the Dr. until Feb. 11th. So far she says she is feeling fine and keeping busy. I wish she would have stayed home.

I got the call @ 6am and by the time i got home i was exhausted.

I hope your mom continues to feel better, hopefully she will get good news from the Dr.

How's your Mom Lynne? I hope she is feeling better.

I had some wonderful doctors in Brooklyn. There is no reason to go to a doctor in NYC who you don't love. There are so many available.

Up here, it is a different story. Thank God I rarely get sick. I needed a chiropractor and found a nice one, but my Brooklyn chiro didn't crack your bones like he does. She uses something called an activator - no pain! And, it works just as well. I did find a terrific, but insane in a good way, massage therapist.

I am on antidepressants and will only go to a psychiatrist for them. I hated him at first. Now, it's become a love-hate thing. He likes to argue. I don't. I also don't think he is emotionally qualified to do therapy. He is as crazy as they come. But, I still drive down to his Westchester office because none of the Psychiatrists up here even call back when you leave a message. They suck.

I'm probably going to have to go to a Bassett center nearby for doctors. I need doctors who take my insurance.

Oh - my vet has 1/2 the county loving him and the other 1/2 hating him. I really should change because a lot of bad stories are told about him. I happen to like him, but what if Max or Annie got sick?
