THINGS ARE LOOKING UP.
I had a few rough nights over the weekend especially on Saturday - lot of pain and I could not settle down and get comfortable despite all the fussing and attention given to me by the staff. I couldn't take any of my pain medicine as that may be what caused my trouble in the first place. Finally Daddy Thom decided to cover me with an nice white throw. I still shivered a while and then all of a sudden, I dozed off. I wasn't cold; I think the blanket was just the bit of security I needed.
Sunday was better and Monday was the big turn-around. I went to see Dr. Teer for my blood work and I felt great. My legs and hips were still a bit sore and stiff, but that "sick" internal feeling was gone. Dr. Teer gave me a script for some pain medicine that won't harm me and I had a wonderful night - slept like a puppy. This morning I greeted the day from the balcony and checked out my territory. Then I had a big breakfast of liver and rice (with a bit of my prescription dog food sneaked in.) I knew it was there, but ate it anyway.
Now I am napping in the sun in the dinning room. It is a beautiful sunny day and the furnace is off and the doors are open. I just had another pain pill and I feel great!
Later this afternoon I'll have another nap with Daddy Thom - What a life - Eh?
