Bailey and Friends

Happy Wednesday!!!!!

Thank you for all the help with the math calculations. I may need to pick your brain some more:rolleyes::rolleyes:

I got sidetracked with my brother last night and did not have time to look at things in depth.

The way my mom's surgeon explained it is that one has to keep up a certain level of pain meds in their body to fight the pain so the meds are there 24 hours rather than wait until the pain gets really bad and then take a pain pill. A constant level iof medicine is needed to help cope with the pain and then reduced gradually. So I hope a healthy discussion about proper pain management with the doc gets the doc with the program:D:D:D:D:D

It will get better, Sus. I kbow it will.

love,
addy

Addy is right about taking pain meds. When my daughter had her tonsils out at age 21 she was in a lot of pain. The doctor said to take the Vicadine (sp) every 4 hrs and the ibupro on the inbetween hours so that way she always had something. Of course Mom was a little nervous about the Vicadine especially when the doctor asked her if she needed another prescription...:eek:

I hope you are feeling better today!!!! Are you getting cuddles from Bailey???:D

((((HUGS))))

Geez....it just blew away what I had written. Man that's frustrating!

Thank you all for your support. It really helps. Bailey is being pretty good, but she obviously would like more excitement. The best I can do right now is throw a ball and make sure she has lamb's ears and chew bones. We did just sit out in the sun for about an hour....then I got too hot.

Tomorrow's visit with the doc will be interesting. I'll report back.

I added up all the pills I've been given and if I average those out over tomorrow (doc visit) I have used about 2.25 pills per day. COME ON!!!!
Mood is not good today. I think I just feel pretty defeated. This recovery was supposed to be DONE in time for Thanksgiving.....and it didn't help that the date on my cane reminded me this has been a 23-25 year adventure.

At least it's a pretty day.

I just wanted to be the first little birdie to chirp...................:)
Happy Thursday!!!!!! :cool::)
If I didn't have clocks that told me the day of the week, the hour and minutes and the date, I would never know what day of the week it was/is.
Now if I can just find one that will tell me where I am and why am I here??!! :confused::confused::eek::eek:
You've made it past hump day..............it's all downhill from here.:D
-crazy me

Hi!
I am back from the doc and he was not rushed and we had lots of time to clear everything up. I have a pretty decent infection and that is the cause of the pain. He has Rxd some kind of antibiotic and some more pain meds and I am to return in one month. If it is not decidedly better next week, I am to return and to tell the telephone person that he said to schedule me right away. AND he took out the pins!! So-I need to keep wearing the boot/shoe and take it easy still. I just feel so much better. We are in synch and the problem has been identified and a remedy is being sought.:)

I had a very rough night last night with Bob. I think he's on overload from playing nurse, he's bored and he needs a hobby.....something. Things are smoother today.

Ryan is coming down tomorrow for the weekend. We will be going to pumpkin chunkin. It's a local specialty. People gather and try to see who can throw/launch a pumpkin furthest....by any means. People come from around the country to see this....it's been going on for more than 15 years-and we've never gone. Other places now copycat, but we are the original. I think it will be a fun thing to do, if the weather is okay. Apparently pumpkins have been launched so far that you could not see where they landed.:eek:

I just wanted to report from the doc. I hope everyone is having a great day. Thank you SO much for all your support and caring.:)

Love,
Sus, Susan, etc.

Hi Susan -

glad the pins are out and the antibiotics are started - Hope it is all uphill from here!! Glad you are getting out for the weekend!!! Sound like something my husband and son would like for sure!!:) Bailey must be happy his mom is getting better:D:) xo

Hi Cindy-
I would prefer it was all down hill from here, but I get your drift. Bailey is very happy and we are now going for a very short walk to celebrate. Short due to my needing to avoid stress to my feet.:)
-Susan

hahaha ok all down hill:D

It's Here, It's Friday!!!!!! We need happy feet icon....:):p:D

I hope you are feeling even better today. It must feel better having the pins out--maybe????

Oh, how wonderful Ryan is coming. I love spending time with my daughter!!!!:D

It is raining here right now--not heavy, but enough to make it so Ella and I could not take a very long walk this morning--boy will she have a lot of energy and have to spend some time in the condo while I am gone...

Hopefully you will have good weather to walk Miss Bailey in, but didn't Addy say it was raining at her place yesterday??? It could be coming your way.:eek: I like the rain, just like to stay home and be comfy, but I also like driving in the rain--I am so weird.:eek:

Enjoy your weekend with Ryan!!!!

Hey! Marie-

It DOES feel better with the pins out. My foot is very itchy but that is because (and I don't know why) the whole top layer of skin peels off with this process. Kinda like a snake, ya know? Toes, tops, bottoms, foot itself - but most of that is over now. I can even wiggle my toes a little!! Very itchy.

I love when Ryan comes, too. Very itchy. We have a "contract" that he will come about once a month. That's the minimum. Very itchy. He's a great kid and my salvation for computer issues. Very itchy.

Bob and I are going north to Rehoboth this afternoon. Very itchy. They will be having an auction tomorrow and today is preview day. You get to go see what's available. I don't expect to go back and participate tomorrow, I just thought it would be interesting to see what's going on the block and how it is all handled. Very itchy.

Well You made it to Friday, again! Have a great weekend. There's not supposed to be a lot of rain here, but temps only in the very low 50's. YUK! very itchy.

Have a great weekend!!
very itchy. ;)
