MASH UPDATE

Currently in Kerrville TX (Low 72 Partly Sunny: HOT High 100) 

It has been an interesting last few days for the Baskerville household. Jo has been having pain near the battery for her neurostimulator implant so the Pain Center decided it was time to replace it with a newer model that hopefully won't have that problem. Plus during the surgery to replace it the surgeon will also see if there is any scar tissue and nerve issues that can be taken care off which may have been causing the pain. She had that surgery at the South Texas Spine and Surgical Hospital.


This was an outpatient procedure so Jo is certain that Nurse Ratched is her caregiver.  She is doing OK but with some tenderness. She has a followup appointment next week.

It was also an interesting few days for Tiger.



We thought she might have had a stroke a few days ago because she was wobbly on her feet but it turns out she just must have been dehydrated. After bloodwork that was amazingly good Tiger spent the night in the hospital getting fluids and a B12 shot. The vet called the next day and said she was ready to come home. She put Tiger on the ground and she ran away from the vet. When she got back she was her old self for a few days then had a different setback but a quick visit to the vet quickly diagnosed the problem that could be taken care of with an antibiotics shot and a steroid shot. We brought her home and in no time she was her old self. She has been through a lot but bounces back quickly. She also has a followup appointment in a few days.

Sandra has also been to the vet.


She had bad itching in her ears that needed antibiotics and antifungal liquid. She has a followup appointment this week.

We'll try to keep you updated on Jo, Tiger, and Sandra. The boys (Bob and JJ) have nothing to report on in this area.

Till next time,

Bob and Jo
