That’s good to know LZ, thanks. So maybe my box is at the unknown location before the border. I hope the sand one is in there too as I ordered it for a friend and have to ship it to her once it arrives.

My dragons shipped over 10 days ago but the tracking hasn’t updated in the last 5 days. It showed the box was on the way to the next destination which should have been Canada. I’ve been anxiously checking it everyday and there’s been no updates. I know Canada Post has been really backed up the last few months as they said they were delivering more packages than at Christmas, since everyone was ordering online when the Covid stuff happened. But I was hoping they would start speeding up now. I don’t know if the box even arrived in Canada yet. Maybe it’s still stuck in the US.

I agree the Ocean’s flame young uni is really pretty with the aqua blue colour. I just don’t love the orange/red eyes but I know a lot of others like red eyes.

Thanks everyone. We are in Canada so things might work a little different here with what they call things. I’ve been visiting my mom each day and she didn’t seem as confused today when we were talking but she was tired when I was visiting and wanted to rest after a while. They said she was eating better and they got her blood sugar and blood pressure down. I saw the menu of food they were giving her and it didn’t look too bad but there were still some things on there I’m not sure diabetics should have. They gave her an ice cream and pudding a couple times. I don’t know what’s going on with the leg weakness and dragging but I don’t think it’s siatica. After her injury she got x-rays and ultrasounds and they said she had tendinosis in the legs and arthritis in the hips. But I think she has nerve damage from the high blood sugar as well. She hasn’t been able to get out of bed, just sit up to eat. I gave her her phone to use with wifi if she wanted to message me from the hospital but she hasn’t used it since she went in the hospital. She just told the nurses she wanted to see me. They didn’t call me but I’ve just been going in each day. They said she might be there a few days or longer. I don’t know. They did bring a physiotherapist in to work with her a couple times which is good. I might bring a cat or dog in to visit if they allow it in the next couple days too.

I may have gone a wee bit overboard…
I am head over heels for my rainbow tigers!
Wow, so many pretty ones Drag0n! Do you have more pics of the two in the front middle, the other rainbow tiger and one to the right of it? Which one is the colourful one third from the right in the front?

My mom was admitted to the hospital a couple days ago and will maybe be there for a few days to see if she if she improves and then see what to do next. I’ve been really worried the last few days about if she is going to get better or not. For the past year or so her health had been going downhill. It started with a fall on ice a year and a half ago where she injured her leg and had trouble walking after. I had to buy her a cane and then a walker the last few months. We also moved over a year ago to a bilevel house (where she has everything on the main level) from a two storey but there are still a few stairs here she was having trouble with getting down to go outside.
She was diagnosed with diabetes and high blood pressure a year or so ago and I think the diabetes has really taken a toll since then. Her injury turned more into neuropathy in her legs where she was getting pain all the time and having trouble walking and her right leg recently started dragging a bit. She also had all her teeth out and got dentures a few months ago but they weren’t fitted right and were uncomfortable for her to try and eat with and she gave up on using them and just would eat mostly soft foods or stuff I blended for her like smoothies and soups. She lost about 70 pounds in the last year from like 180 pounds to 110 which she thought was good and would help her diabetes as she was also eating healthier because I was cooking for her but she wasn’t eating as much because of not having teeth. She wouldn’t take her diabetes medication for months either because she was afraid of the side effects. I got her to start taking it again a couple weeks ago and it made her throw up her food and have the runs and then she was getting nose bleeds and coughing up blood clots and not eating for a couple days starting last weekend. She also was losing bladder control and wasn’t able to get out of bed to go to the bathroom for a couple days and I was getting really worried so I called a nurse on Tues and they told me to get her into the hospital.
We had a doctor’s appointment scheduled for Thurs but I tried to get her out of bed Tues and she was so weak she couldn’t get up even with my help so I had to call an ambulance to take her to the hospital. Her blood sugar and blood pressure was high. They had to give her a catheter in the bladder and an enema which helped as her tummy was bloated. They ran a bunch of blood tests and got her a couple scans and x-rays and luckily nothing else was showing up but she was dehydrated and they had to get her on an IV with fluids and then the last couple days she was mostly resting but they were trying to get her to eat more too. She also started acting confused a couple days before going to the hospital and saying some things that didn’t make sense. I’ve been visiting her in the hospital the last couple days and we could converse but she was confused about the day and time and being in the hospital and wanted to come home and be with her cats who sleep on her bed. She said she missed me and the cats and I felt bad. They don’t know if the confusion is temporary or if it could be the start of something else as my grandma had Alzheimer’s but she didn’t get it til she was maybe 75 and my mom is only 70. She is still really weak and hasn’t been able to get out of bed and they have to keep trying to get her to eat. She also said she was depressed, not sure if it started before or after she went in the hospital but it made me feel really sad.
I have been having a really hard time with knowing what is best for her and trying to get her the help she needs and I’ve been really worried about her and hoping she gets better but they are preparing that if she is released that she will need home care or have to go to a senior’s home where they can care for her more than I can. We were also supposed to move by the end of Aug but it’s hard to find another rental without stairs for my mom so I’m not sure if we will be able to move to another rental where my mom can have someone come in to help her or if she will have to go to a senior’s home and I will have to move to a smaller place or share with roommates. It’s been really stressful and I hope my mom can gain strength and get better to be released from the hospital.

Yay I got a tracking number for my dragons that shipped so they should be here in a few days since it takes a while to get to Canada.
