We applied and were approved for the carecredit thank God. She has an appointment on the 28th for either a CT scan or an MRI, not sure which because the vet said this place does both. I guess they will decide when they see her which is best. The prednisone is already helping a lot. She's not as "drunk" as she was and isn't falling down so much. We put some throw rugs down so the floor isn't as slippery, so that helps. I can't believe how quickly that medicine worked for her. The vet said it can work that fast (24hrs) but it does not mean it isn't a tumor, just that the med helped whatever inflammation was going on at the time. I was so hoping she would say that it meant that it was more a disc or pinched nerve issue. That can be fixed. Even the anal tumor can be removed.

She is in good spirits. Wants to play and run out the door when hubby pulls up. She did that every day for 8 years so it's hard to stop her now. She just sits there and looks at me like "Mommy, why aren't you opening the door so I can go greet Daddy?" It breaks my heart, but it's better than her running and falling hurting herself more. We are spoiling her rotten. Gave her a nice warm bath last night to help with the pain in her back. She almost fell asleep in the tub. Hubby had to get in with her and we put towels down on the bottom of the tub so she wouldn't slip. That seems to have helped her today as well.

I am trying to keep her laying down or being still. I am not sure if movement will make whatever is wrong with her worse or not, but I know that if it is a disc issue it sure can. If it is the myeloma, I don't know. I am so grateful to have you guys to talk to about this. I can't talk to my hubby or son because hubby doesn't want to talk about it and I don't want to upset my son. He knows what is going on, but he is so hopeful. His birthday is tomorrow he will be 21. And I don't want him to remember his 21st as the day he found out his dog was dying.

Ok, I am going to stop now because I am starting to get upset all over again. Seems like a long wait until the 28th..
