I was thinking about you and what you had to go through today... however, I
sure didn't realize that it was truly a surgical procedure and that you were
put to sleep.... glad all went well and that you and the little ones are
relaxing in the recliner.
We had Benji in for her rabies vaccine today and all is well except for
bleeding gums. Don't know where that is coming from as she just had a dental
a month ago.... hummmmm... Tilly spent time at home alone for the very
first time and did well. She sure was glad to see us come back as there had
been deliveries and yard work done while we were gone and she was guarding the
house <G> Anyway, things progress along. 6 weeks now for Tilly... seems
longer.
Joan, you take care, check in when you can. I'm thinking about you and
sure wish there was something I could do to ease things a bit.
give little Dolly and Desi hugs from me , benjigirl and tilly....

My injections were about three hours later than anticipated. I was so tired
from taking my Lyrica and Norflex at 2 pm that I almost fell asleep waiting.
Then in the OR, they had a lot of nurses and radiologists…more than at the
other surgery center. They got me all strapped down in place and laid a blue
cloth across my face because it wasn’t sterilized. I just remember the cloth
going over my face and then the pain management anesthesiologist told someone
how much of the drugs to give me…I don’t know if I even remember coming out of
the OR. I think that longer it has been the less that I remember. I am a
little sore now, and Desi & Dolly have been fed, so I am going to grab a bite
and then we all can sack out in the recliner chair for a while.
I took Dolly & Desi to the vet this morning for their Bordatella vaccines. He
said that they are now doing it by injection for the little ones because they
are more susceptible to reverse sneezing when they do the nasal spray one.
Dolly weighs 8 lbs, and Desi weighs 8.1 lbs. I think that Dolly’s weight is
wrong…but I would have to take her somewhere to verify that.
But, Desi has an infection in his right eye. So, I have ointment to put in his
eyes now. Desi needs ¼ of a Benadryl every 8 hours and Dolly gets a half of an
Atarax every 12 hours for three days, then Dolly goes back to ½ of an Atarax
every night.
I took them today because I don’t want to be lifting them so that I can give my
cervical spine the best chance at the injections taking down the swelling of
the disks. But, it turned out good because if I waited another week or two,
Desi’s eye infection could have been worse.
That’s my day…going to sign out of everything until tomorrow.
