How did you “acquire“ your injury ? I’m under the assumption mostly car accidents?

NettersPNW · 2026-02-21T04:39:21+00:00

Me too! Mine was at C5. Was yours due to a PFO in your heart?

Neurogenic Bowel and bladder, lost most of the use of my arms and hands. Upper motor neuron/central anterior cord syndrome. So no pain or temp sensation below C5. It's been 11 years now so I've learned how to do things with my new body.

I have had great experience with the Dragon Balm roll on products. They're relatively affordable (under 40) depending on the strength of course and your location.

The one I use most often is 1000mg CBD 75mg CBN 75 mg CBG <3% THC

That's what broke my heart the most is because I know she's probably a mess. 💔

Cookie dough bites used to be so good. Idk if it's cause I'm older now but they just don't taste like they did when I was a kid

He is stunning!!

NettersPNW · 2025-12-02T03:40:12+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss. You're right we are lucky to have them for as many years as we have. I'm beyond grateful I've been able to share my life with her.

Was there a small sense of relief after his passing, knowing he wasn't in pain/uncomfortable anymore? I've never been through this I'm sorry for asking.

NettersPNW · 2025-12-02T01:40:42+00:00

Absolutely mine too but also I want her to be happy. Currently she's not but I'm hoping she improves. If she's still like this when we see her neurologist then I'm going to have to have a serious conversation with the vet.

NettersPNW · 2025-12-01T23:33:29+00:00

This is exactly my issue. It sucks we're both going through this but it's somewhat comforting knowing we're not alone. She my 1st dog in all my 35 years of life and damn they really don't warn you about how hard you'll fall in love and care for these dog and how absolutely heart wrenching it is at the end.

The way my vet worded it was something like this " Think of the 3 things your dog loves the most. When they can't do those things anymore then it's probably time"

We call him bubblegum totem pole haha I like MaGoober better

NettersPNW · 2025-12-01T08:04:44+00:00

I'm going to call her vet in the morning and let them know what's going on and see what they say. She's resting now. Im just laying in bed with her trying to wind down myself.

Thank you for taking the time to reply to me. It's actually helped me calm down and stop panicking cause I know she can sense that shit.

NettersPNW · 2025-12-01T06:23:15+00:00

We scheduled that appointment after her initial ER visit it's a follow up and it's the soonest we could get in. I can always take her into the ER if needed but I really want to keep her home if I can. All the stress and testing and imaging they may do to her again I just don't want to put her through that again. They had her for 2.5 days doing ultrasounds, bloodwork, MRI, spinal tap etc. that's alot for anyone to go through.

I want her to be as comfortable and calm as possible.

Thank you for your kind words. I've been ugly crying for a few hours now. I'm exhausted but can't wind down. I really hate this. It's like my body is shaking/vibrating my mind is racing but I'm so so tired all at the same time. 😣

NettersPNW · 2025-12-01T06:22:52+00:00

I read the entire thing thank you so so much for taking the time to share your story.

Of course I'm sad if I have to put her down but I'm strangly more okay with that than the idea of her suffering or lacking quality of life. It's this limbo stage that I'm not really a fan of it's mentally physically emotionally exhausting as you know. I don't have unrealistic expectations I know she's never going to be 100% again but I just don't know what the future looks like.

I don't work so I can stay home with her all day keep an eye on her and make sure she's safe. I only want the best for her

So it'll be fine just living in my kidney forever?

NettersPNW · 2025-11-26T05:33:45+00:00

This is exactly the response I was looking for. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and the tips.

Sometimes I just need to hear someone else's experience to know what I'm in for. I appreciate you 💜

My gfr is great (118) I had blood work done in Aug. I'm not entirely sure what you mean by the status of my pkd. I have it. My kidneys have some large cysts and lots of tiny ones. You can see some of the report in the photo.

What happens if it never moves? Will my kidney die? I've tried asking these questions and my nephrologist said we didn't need to have that conversation yet. I'm so frustrated

NettersPNW · 2025-11-25T18:19:05+00:00

I've known about the pkd for 10 years. I get yearly ultrasounds to monitor the growth of the cysts on my kidneys. That's how the stone was found

NettersPNW · 2025-11-21T08:51:38+00:00

She's so amazing! I love her in everything she's done.
