Dying with Debra

I am happy to report that I seem to be getting better better better every day. I went in for labs this morning which only took a few minutes and then headed over to meet Sue and chief Brown at Manatee County Animal welfare.   We had fun catching up and quite a productive meeting…

I’m getting better all the time. That’s what I’m telling myself and I am feeling a little bit better each day, but still pretty shitty. I’m enjoying a nice quiet day at home and the RSO has kicked in so I don’t have pain. My body feels very heavy, however, and getting up is quite…

Having gotten through a pretty terrible day, I am appreciating how much better I feel. The tingling in my feet and hands is still present but the headache has dissipated. I may even get dressed today ….shock of shocks. The high today should be in the low 60s so I get to wear one  my…

“Today was a Difficult Day,” said Pooh. There was a pause. “Do you want to talk about it?” asked Piglet. “No,” said Pooh after a bit. “No, I don’t think I do.” “That’s okay,” said Piglet, and he came and sat beside his friend. “What are you doing?” asked Pooh. “Nothing, really,” said Piglet. “Only,…

And the winner is… Hans. Baxter weighed in at 105.8 pounds. The consensus is that he needs to lose about 10% of his body weight so we are going to concentrate on more exercise and a little less food …for both Baxter and Hans (good thing Hans doesn’t read my journal!) besides that, all went…

Home sweet home😍 the flight home from Reagan National was smooth and short. When we arrived home, Lillianna and Russell, our house/dog sitters were still here with their three dogs. They have two Chihuahuas, Princess and Luna, and recently got another named Keto who is a dachshund Chihuahua mix. Roxy and  Baxter were delighted to…
