I just found myself barking, “Kizzie!” as she was getting into the trash. I read somewhere that it is a bad thing to scold a dog by using it’s name. Both DSB and I do that all the time. My mom does, too. All of our dogs seem fine. Or maybe I should start worrying about it, and worry it to death. I’m pretty good at that.
I’m a little loopy, having taken my evening meds about three hours behind schedule and now just writing a bit in the hopes I can fall asleep. Today has been a long and exceptionally unpleasant day.
DSB has been fighting off many medical issues here lately. I finally talked him into going into the hospital today, and it turns out that his ribs are bruised (from where he fell off the couch), and he has blood clots in his left leg AND in his right lung. This is very serious and, after being in the ER from 1:30pm today until 7:15pm when they gave that diagnosis, I really thought they were going to tell him that his foot was broken (and that’s why he can’t walk) and that his ribs were bruised (and that’s why he can’t catch his breath and is in such pain).
Good thing we went to the hospital. Good thing he finally listened to me and went to the hospital, is what I meant to say. And now I’m going to bed, about two hours past my bedtime. I hope this means I will sleep two hours later, but what it actually means is that I have now officially gone off schedule and will probably suffer for it the next few days.
I just felt like I needed to get a word out into the blogosphere, I guess.
Glad you finally got him to the doctor. Men can be so silly about that sort of thing. Hang on. You’ll get back on schedule. You did what you had to do. Now rest.

Men are silly about that kind of thing. Very! I am somewhat back on schedule, but it’s a bit altered. I’d like to try and post something later tonight or tomorrow. I have not read a SINGLE post from anyone I am following for the past week. It just got to be too much and I had to delete my inbox. I feel bad when it gets that hectic, but ya gotta prioritize and right now my mental health is getting priority!

I hope he starts feeling better soon!
This is utterly none of my business, but I’m always curious about other folks’ med regiments, particularly when it sounds like they take stuff to sleep. Would you mind elaborating on yours?

Sending positive thoughts your way., I’m glad you were finally able to get him to the ER. I’m stubborn too so maybe I can learn from this.

Many thanks for the positive thoughts. They are needed! Yes, when in doubt, go to the ER. We should have went a week from when we actually did go. The doctors even said things might not have progressed so far had we gone then. Ah well, learning lesson for DSB!
