As you know, I have a paraplegic dachshund. I’m in multiple Facebook groups for paralyzed pets, IVDD, and other diseases of the spinal cord. Myelomalacia, which involves the death of spinal tissue, comes up sometimes. Way more often than it comes up for the average person not in these groups, that’s for sure! It comes up more often for someone like a veterinary (or regular) neurologist. Ascending myelomalacia, the death of the cord traveling up until either euthanasia or respiratory paralysis ultimately leads to death. It’s so sad to see people going through that. 

Anyone else still so sleepy from being sick? Yes? Okay, that kinda sucks for us, but we’re in it together. I actually cooked today. Something I used to make a lot but haven’t made in quite a while. I think it’s been close to a year. I will be writing about it tomorrow. I am just too tired tonight! I just made myself some hot chocolate. When I say “I”, I do mean Ms. Swiss Miss. I didn’t add marshmallows, but I did have plenty of whipped cream and a little dash of Ceylon cinnamon on top. I haven’t done that in a while. I did use milk and not water, btw. I deserve it xx. So do you. Unless milk fucks you up, then you don’t deserve that. Well, maybe you do, but since you’re reading this I don’t think so xoxo. 

Last things. Ugh. I started off so well in my football pool this year, but I went through like 5 bad weeks. Now, I’ve been doing well the past 2 weeks again, but it’s, well, you know, “Too Little Too Late” – JoJo.
