Tuesday, May 29th, 2018…… This morning I woke up really sore. My left knee is still giving me fits and now
the muscles are tight as well.
Yesterday, I felt the same way but found that walking a bit helps loosen
it up to where I can walk semi ok. Still
have a limp. This morning I’m going to take some Aleve and see if that
helps. Rylee is doing well on her
meds. I called the vet and they said he
was off today but they would relay the message to him. His associate said she thinks
he will suggest I keep her on the probiotic but may adjust or cancel the
antibiotic. I needed some more dog food
(she’s still on the prescription food) so I told her I would be by later today
to pick that up and get some more probiotic.
Almost $80.00 later (who said having a pet is cheap!) I was back home
with what I needed. Meanwhile, the team
was back today and started on the walls. They got a good bunch done and will be
back tomorrow. I’ll take pics when they
get farther along. Kirk came by and got a lot more done on the flowerbed. He will be back next week. Lydia said she had
labs this morning and took off to go do that. When she got back she told me wasn’t
feeling well and told them that. They
ran a culture which may help find out what’s going on. Should be back tomorrow.
She spent the day resting and watching tv.
But later she was hungry so we heated up the rest of yesterday’s steaks
and made sandwiches. Yummy! We ended up the evening watching the first of the
season’s America’s Got Talent.
End of day 38......

Wednesday, May 30th, 2018…… Rylee is still getting me up pretty early in
the morning. She pees outside before bed
but I worry she wants out and I’d rather train her to let me know that than
just go inside on the piddle pads. So, I get up. Afterward, I let her up and
the bed and she settles down again and I can sleep for an hour or more. Then it’s
on! I try to play with her enough to make her happy then I feed her, which
really makes her happy! Then I can shower and get ready for the day. This morning I took off and got breakfast and
coffee/tea. I waited a while and then went out to start string trimming the areas
on each side of the driveway. This is
the part that I can’t mow with either the tractor or the mower. Lydia waited
until 10:00am or so and then went online and looked for her lab report. It was there and showed nothing negative for
anything virus or infection. So, she
called and they said they were going to have her come in for an antibiotic shot
plus they will call in a prescription for her. So, she went off and did that. I
stopped my work and played with monster puppy and kept her busy. I also got a call from my sister asking me to
go check on Quincy later this morning.
She said she’s had runny poop and was throwing up. Once Lydia got back I went out and checked on
the dog. Everything is fine. She’s feeling fine now and no signs of any
issues. I came back and finished up the weed eating and put everything
away. I also helped Tim run my DirecTv
coax through the back wall and down the wall.
He added a baseplate about 8 inches off the ground which I will use to run
the coax out of and straight under the rear of the coach and out to the front
where my connection is. That keeps it tucked out of sight and I won’t run over
it going in and out. I got a call from Dr. Hiett and after a quick update of Rylee’s
progress, he decided to take her off of the antibiotic and just extend the
probiotic another week so what I bought was what I needed. I ate another late
lunch so I didn’t want dinner so Lydia fixed a bowl of pasta and I ate some
cheese and crackers and we were good. She’s
still a little down but feeling better.
I’m sure the meds will help as well. I got an email that my sweeper was
in at Lowes so I will go tomorrow to pick that up. We watched the new MasterChef
and then called it a night.
No pics today –
it’s just partial drywall anyway.
