I probably should put this in diabetes, but since it doesn't concern his disease, I've always felt it was best here. Anyway.....the last few days have brought some changes with Nash. He seems to be much more restless, and today, I couldn't get him to settle out on the deck. He kept pacing and crying. Now Nash has always been a cry, and it's not about pain....it's about him just wanting his way. So it's hard to evaluate what is going on. To complicate things, my dad is back in the hospital with complications with his brain shunt, and had to have surgery today to remove it so they can rule out an infection. So I'm here at the hospital a lot. Hubby and I are trying to split up our time so one of us is with Nash most of the time. My experience in the past has always been that dogs seem to be doing 'okay' for a while, and then it seems ovenight something happens and they are bad. I fear we're on the edge of that right now. My husband and I have always said we won't let him suffer in pain. So I do fear our decision will be very soon. I didn't want you all to be caught off guard. I can't think about it too much or I'll be a puddle of tears. Thanks for caring.....my Nash has been quite a miracle boy, and it's hard to believe his path is being shortened....okay, I need to go, the tears are flowing now...
