So I was merrily racing around in the park yesterday afternoon, full of the joys of spring, when Gail suggested I pause for a moment and tell you about the results of my recent blood test, just in case you were wondering.
Now I don't like to be one of those dogs who goes on about his health problems all the time. Suffice to say my urea levels are a bit elevated, but the creatinine level is just fine. What does this mean? Well it seems that my kidney function is slightly compromised, so things aren't perfect. But the vet thinks the Previcox tablets are doing much more good than harm, as six months after my bladder cancer (TCC) diagnosis I'm still eating well, feeling comfortable and enjoying my walks. So no changes in my treatment are recommended.
Excellent.
Back to bouncing through the crocuses.
Do hop across to the LLB Gang to see their post today and links to all the other Nature Friday posts.
Have fun bouncing through those crocuses (croci?) Glad your vet results were good.

Gail replies: Back in September I honestly didn't expect Bertie to see another spring. So we are indeed focussing on enjoying each new flower as it appears to brighten the scene.
DeleteBertie, we'd be so happy to bounce through the crocuses with you - to celebrate your good news!

ReplyDeleteBertie 4 hands giving your lab/vet visit a standing ovation. Yay for you being such a good patient with an excellent NURSE.
ReplyDeleteThe spring in your WFT step traipsing thru the purple and white field crocuses speaks volumes and it way more fun that tiptoeing thru tulips
Hugs and head pats all around

ReplyDeleteso happy for this good report and we want to hear you talk about your health.. i have heard of tiptoe through the tulips but not bounce through the crocus. Maybe you could write us a song about that..

ReplyDeleteThat's such good news, Bertie...you'll have plenty of bounce left for a while. Love your crocuses.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder you're bouncing Bertie! That is an excellent report. And you're so lucky to have wild crocuses to show off your handsome looks.
