WHAT THE SURGIN SAID

TY'S WIFES WORDS

What the surgeon said!
Current mood: thankful

So yesterday we met with Bomb's surgeon. I almost threw up on the way there I was so nervous. I felt so bad and started to cry as soon as we walked into the vet. He wasn't is happy self this time, he was stressed and just sat down on the floor. We had only been there three days before and he knew that last time it hurt, and was stressful....
The surgeon looked at his x-rays and ultimately said that our initial concern wasn't the concern at all! The "fracture" in both of his knees was just from his growth plates that never healed properly. She said it's very common in puppies and since he's only a little over a year old, she wasn't surprised. That's not what's causing him pain. What's wrong with his knees is that he has luxated patellas. What's that you ask? Well his knee caps aren't on the front of his knees where they are supposed to be...they are on the insides of his legs. So to explain that a little better, if he were human, his knee caps would rub together on the inside of his legs when he walked.
She said he was born this way and that it's a genetic disease. The good news is that many dogs live that way their entire life. The bad news is that Bomb is at Stage 4 which means it's already at the most severe that it could ever get, and that she doesn't even know if she can fix it.
So....she suggested we at least do the surgery on the right knee in the next two months, and see if she can even fix it. She said the cost is $1,500 for each knee but if she gets in there and finds that she can't fix it, she'll close him back up and would only charge us $500. So, if she can fix it, we'll have to do the left side sometime soon. If she can't, we won't.
She said the reason that his knee is hurting so bad right now is probably because he twisted it and it got inflamed and on top of the messed up knee caps, it's hurting to walk on it. We have him on an anti-inflammatory medication and she wants us to keep him on that for 10 days, and then take him off and see how it goes.
She suggested swim therapy to keep him using the full range of motion in the back legs so he doesn't get stiff and she said that we just have to limit him on days that he's sore. We will have to make some changes around the house, like bringing his kennel upstairs so he doesn't need to go up and down the stairs and building a ramp off the deck, so he doesn't jump off the deck anymore..(which is how he got his name..."Bomb's away!") And then years down the road if his legs get too stiff for him to walk comfortably we'll need to get him a doggy wheelchair.
SOOOOO.......over-all he's going to cost us money for the rest of his life. But he won't need to lose his life, and we love him more than the money anyway! We went from a $5400 surgery to a $3000 surgery (assuming we do both knees). So it's good news. We still are going to do some fundraising to pay for his surgery, but will be trying to team up with a nonprofit organization to also help other dogs like Bomb! If you'd like to donate, you can check out my donate button on my home page! Keep your eyes open for information about a pet photography session to help us raise money. Thanks to LUKESHOOTS, we will get this thing up and running shortly!
You can contact me on myspace or at taraparish@gmail.com for more information!
Thanks again to all those who have been so eager and willing to help! It means a lot to our family!

THE BOMBER FOUNDATION

Well yesterday was the we were told that BOMBER our Pit-Bull might have to be put down. We took him to the vet because we noticed he was not standing on his right back foot. We thought it might just be that way because hes just a silly dog. meaning when we got him from the Madison Wi Humane Society he had a funny head tilt but we didn't think too much of it. His file which didn't have much in it, said they took ex ray's but didn't see any bones that were broken but when we checked him out he had some scars...But we were just happy to have another pup that we could take in from a not soo good life.

His File also said that he was found in a old house and the name of the old owner of the house seemed like he was black. NOT TO STEREO TYPE BUT ... with walking him around north port in madison. which is kinda ghetto we have had MANY comments and offers to breed him or sell him to a bunch of black guys.. but when we told them he was fixed they were really bumbed and lost interest.

Well the fact of the matter is he has two fractured knees and he is not being able to walk on them anymore.. the doc says they happend along time ago (PitBull Fights) My thoughts on the whole thing is they tried to fight him but because he is a lover they would beat him when he wouldn't fight. he would also pee when ever i called his name. so after beating him and fighting him they left him and thats when we got him from the humane Society. But we are not able to pay for this sergery he needs ... which will cost us about $3000 - $5000 so if you are a dog lover or just a pitbull lover please help us help this dog.. HE was beat and fought (my thoughts) and left for dead and we gave him a home for 5 months and now we have to kill him. WHICH I DON'T WANT TO DO .....so please help us...

THANK YOU

The Media Runs your Life!

Everyday I wake up just like any other person here on this earth. I work a full days work at a place called ETC. ETC [ Electronic Theater controls ] is a great place to work. Great benefits and all but the lack of vision is amongst us. I have been working there for about 3 years now and i have totaly lost the vision of my life. Thats because I wake up at 5 in the morning and then I return to a blob on the couch after work. I watch everything that they want me to. I think of how I want to change my life but I can't the TV has sucked me into mono channeled homosapiane.

Anther great thing about my life and the place I work is, I work 9 hour days and on friday such as the one I am currntly living out. BUT living this life has turned me into a person I don't care to be. After working a nice long day, not including when I work overtime I need to recollect my strangth for the weekend. I sleep all day with the TV on! I can't get away! I get up and take a shower doesn't seem to help, Sometimes I do get off my lazy sack of crap and I do record some music and do some art the very thing that keeps my passion alive and i just become tired and go back to TV. TV is my idol not too mention there is a show called American Idol. Which really means watch me!

I REALLY want to cancel the cable and move out from the rock of nothingness BUT, I have a father in-law that watches the cable just as much as I do and when the cable was shut off for a day he went into a state of panic and went to his mothers house to watch tv untill further notice .

Charter, Direct tv, basic cable movie channels RUN YOUR LIFE! you have no control anymore!

I started thinking about how this was effecting me because I felt as if my mind was being taken away from by not using it so i did a little search and found real fast a few things that I agree with!

There are alot more studies and links you can search for your self and figure out if watching tv is good for you and your family! I have to run, I wish I could talk more about this but my time is up for today. Thanks for listening and remember to think before you act!
Godbless

Deja Vu

Sitting back in my ol couch from the 1980's I am starring into the computer screen feeling the same emotions I have felt when I broke up with my other few bands. [frusterated][annoyed] In this city of Madison in this state of Wisconsin I find more flakes then in a Kellogg's box. Two faced is all I really need to say. Why is it that one day its one thing and then next day its on the flip side? why should we be able to change skins to quick? Am I being to sensitive or do I have the right to feel the way I do when I have already gone through this high school drama a million times too many!

Well I am not too supprised I did expect it to end just as fast as it began. I mean people come running into this musical creation wanting the very things I have created, But. Get bumbed out when they can 't create how I have. I think because they are relating to the sound/noise and the words but I am able to project it through each chord. I guess thats why I do create for others release and my tharapy.

Well I am still here in Wisconsin the very [cold and snowy] place I could care less to be. I have been here for 24 years now and I wish to see the world. but instead I am sitting on my 1980's couch and starring blankly into my computer screen, listening to instrumentle music and having TLC on in the background.

I wish I wish I could change my skin
I wish I wish I could release my dreams with in
I wish I wish my tounge could speak what I dream
and I for once I could feel real - inside - of me

Have a Good night!

[Good Friday] [Recording update]

Very Excited for this weekend. Tomorrow we have a half day of work so I will be able to work this whole weekend on my new song and a song we all know. Rewire. [ROCK FOR LIFE] has asked me to give them [Rewire] so they can play it on their featured artist of the week. I also have this new song I have been Recording/Writing I am very excited about It.. starts out with a random digi sound for about a minute then it runs it self into a pretty intence dirty bass tone and a techy drum piece. I find the sound a dirty/south, dark grunge which I find very motivating for the dark words I have picked out for this world. I will post the words along with the music in the next few weeks.

wish me luck
