OT - wildlife count for Dennis

[SarahL2491]

Some of you are familiar with Dennis and I counting wildlife on our very long travels to doctors and I don't think he will mind if I post, as he's on the "road again".  He returned to our (well it was mine and he bought it a couple of years ago from me) house and he reported yesterday that he has seen moose every day since arriving but the weather has been crappy.  He's doing porch and step remodeling and the weather isn't helping, but I must admit defeat as I have seen nothing but stray dogs, snakes slithering into my pond and a cat I wish would go back to its home.  Diesel reports she has seen squirrels but none want to play.

Cardio visit yesterday, only have to go once a year now.  CPAP working better, have dissolvable zofran at bedside, as I wake up either with a headache (from straps too tight) or nausea, so grab one of those; they work almost instantly.  So am sleeping better and with Adderall and better rest, am feeling much better.
Can I wish away the summer heat/humidity?

Not sure I will get the invite for Lemtrada as medicare requires that you have been on two other drugs at least.  I am in year 4 on Tysabri and had a brief dance with Tecfidera but guess they may not count that.  Wonder if you can appeal Medicare?  I was all excited over it until they called and talked about two drugs.

Stay well everyone, I have a Tysabri infusion tomorrow IF I don't have a fever (those remain a mystery) and am anxiously awaiting it.  I've fallen more and have had more fatigue the 10-12 weeks I've been off of it, but hanging in there.

thanks for the update, gang, still had a fever of 99.0 yesterday but neuro okayed the infusion and I slept the whole two hours, then came home and went back to sleep.  Went to bed at 7pm, forgot my night pills and CPAP and must have sweated off the fever.  Hopefully today will go better.  Service dog has a groomer appt, I don't have the energy to give her a bath today.  

Dennis is "on the road" but sure he will check in with us all when he gets back to his southern home.

Hi Sarah nice to see you post again good luck with tysabri and yes you can appeal medicare. Glad Dennis is doing good miss you both around here.  

Sitting outside the other night and a baby dear was calling for its mama she came out of the woods right in front of me then back in and the baby was quiet. Tons of squirrels here that sit on my porch waiting for my husband to feed them he has been doing that all winter so now they expect it. A wild turkey came up to my patio and I freaked out but I feel bad there were 10 of them this winter now she is alone. Coyote problem here and I live in the city.

take care and pop in more if you can

I'm happy to hear that Dennis is alive and well and that youo seem to be nearing cruise control :-)

As to animal sightings, they have been largely limited to a finch, a mule (half finc, half canary) and two potentially dangerous felines (even though they have never been outside!)

I'd forgotten about these! Yesterday was all about out friendly, neighbourhood herons. And whilst they may not count as wildlife, a random Dublin sighting of a boy holding leading a draft horse by the bridle at a traffic light was had on Tuesday. Many magpies and bumblebees from the balcony.

Fingers crossed you're good to go on the infusion! And thanks for the wildlife musings on a lovely morning.

I live in the inner city and my property is being staked out by these huge scary looking wild bunnies. Hoping they don't sabotage my novice attempt at  vegetable container gardening.

Good luck with your infusion.

I also hope Tysabri goes well and am thrilled your CPAP therapy is going well. My darned straps are tight too. Leave marks on my face for a couple of hours after I take the mask off any looser though and it leaks air so what's a girl to do? :-)

I have seen some deer, tons of squirrels, a skunk or two and a gopher.

Be well,
