    I hate it when a surgery of mine doesn't go as planned. Dog did well and went home just fine and now is back vomiting. Can't figure out why.

    That is SO sad! I don't think I could handle working with animals. At least with humans I can (75% of the time) explain why I am doing what I am doing to them. That makes me feel a little better. I would lose my head everytime another animal was brought in sick or injurred. So happy there's people like you to help me care for my dog.

    I think I've stopped the vomiting but I still don't know why it started.

    Obstructions? Volvulus?

    Fellow night shifters. Is there a way to choose when your food diary starts and ends? Some weeks my "days" end at 5 am. I end up with a meal and a snack logged in on the "new" day since to after midnight. Any ideas?

    I start my log when I first eat, which is usually between 1-2 pm. If I eat after midnight, which is rare except for Red Bull, I just go back a day log it. I don't start my new day till after I wake up. I've never tried changing the start and end times.

    Already went to surgery twice. No obstruction or volvulus. Gotta be the irritation from the chewed up plastic we took out two days ago.

    Since I keep my sleep schedule the same times all week I log my breakfast lunch and dinner as I eat them. I also added snack time slots between meals so on mfp I usually finish my food diary for the day before most people wake up lol

    Me too. I looked into just changing my timezone so that I was on Aussie time but that never works for some reason. I just changed my meals to numbers 1-6 and log as I go now.

    I changed the headings on my diary to reflect six hour periods. I just log things when I eat. I don't always keep my schedule, so that was getting too confusing.

    Yeah!! My concussion dog when home today. If you find you are getting passed over by a very large truck and the wheels have missed you, don't pick your head up to see if it's past.

    Tomorrow (tonight, same difference) is my 5th of 5 straight 12's. I may potentially have 6, count them six days off in a row afterwards. It's been years since that has happened. I have no idea what I'm going to do with myself.

    brb... probably gonna pick up a shift at my 2nd job because I work nights and have no social life.
