Friday, September 7th, 2018…… Today we had plans to go to
Chuck and Linda’s yard sale. My sister had agreed to help so she needed to
leave before 8:00am to help set up. I had doggie duty. I showered and took
Rylee out first for our normal walk up Oak Creek Way. Then I took Quincy out to
the west forty like she’s used to. We still have some remnants of the weed pile
that Kirk & Caleb and I are in the process of transferring out of here so
Quincy hunted in there for a big part of her outside time. Of course she still likes a few rounds of
fetch with her tennis ball but mostly she hunts for field mice or whatever else
she finds. Like I said, we had planned on going over after Lydia got ready. But
– she came out and said go without her, she wasn’t feeling well. I took Rylee
over there and we visited for awhile and then we came home so I could check on
Lydia. She wasn’t feeling any better and said she had diarrhea and was
nauseous. She went to bed and took a couple of Tylenol. I hung around the house
and watched all three of the girls today. The pups rested and Lydia slept in
between runs to the bathroom.

8th, 2018…… Lydia was doing better but
stayed in bed all day today. I did make a couple of trips to Walmart to get
Imodium and Gatorade and soup and crackers.
She’s tried and can’t eat or drink anything without losing it. At least
she has no fever but if she still isn’t better later, we will be heading in to
urgent care or to the er.
(Later) she was able
to relax and sleep and so we were ok for now…..
Sunday, September 9th, 2018…… I got to bed pretty late last
night and right away I realized now that I was in trouble! I was really queasy and
I knew I had the same thing she had! Nothing stayed in and I was in for a rough
night! I have never had that extreme kind of stomach and bowel issue ever! Wow!
I now know what Lydia went through. The good news was that she was doing ok
when we got up this morning. She took Rylee out and closed the door so I could
rest. I ended up staying in bed all day. She brought me Tylenol and water to
keep me hydrated and by the end of the night I was able to keep some peaches down.
She was still having issues but was keeping things down and doing ok.
Monday, September 10th, 2018…… We took everything
super easy this morning. I did get up and managed to rest in my recliner all
day and didn’t nap too much. Lydia took the monster mutt out for her exercise
so we were good. We’re still not sure what happened for us to get this. It
could be something we ate but since it took an extra day for me, I think she
got something from the folks at pickleball. We’ll never know.
Another easy day. Neither of us cared to do much. We were still
not 100%. My sister came over to check on us and took Rylee back home for the
day which gave us a chance to rest. She stopped at the store and picked up some
things for Lydia to make for dinner. She asked for cube steak and Country Crock
potatoes. Thanks, sis! Problem was they
only had garlic mashed. Bad choice for us and we could only eat a small portion
each and tasted it all night. But at least it all stayed down. That was the
last few days. Sorry that they weren’t that exciting.
