Whew - Feeling Better Today!

What a siege - I thought I'd never feel right again, but I guess all that rain overnight washed away the heebie-jeebies because I felt quite a bit better when I got up this morning.  I felt even better after the FM gave me a pain pill.  That spruced me right up and I ate a nice big breakfast afterwards.

So, I guess I have some busy days ahead of me - mostly because I seem to need some sort of medication or treatment every 17 seconds!  A person can barely catch a nap around here.  But, it's all making me feel better.

I get my antibiotics (and the probiotics to compensate for the antibiotics) twice a day.  Some allergy pills in my meals just because the FM thinks maybe I have a little bit of an allergy to go along with my skin infection.  Then some fish oil capsules, and some digestive enzymes, and a bunch of other nutritional stuff - all of that goes in my food, and I get a BIG bowl of food three times a day!   Then I get Vaseline on my dry, crusty nose about a thousand times a day.  My ears are checked and I heard her say that I have to have them flushed weekly for a while until they're all sparkly and clean.  Then an antibiotic wipe (with aloe of course) scours around my face several times a day to keep the bacteria down.  I get eye ointment in the morning and one drop of cyclosporine in each eye in the evening.  Between going out and getting treated, I hardly have enough time to chew on my bones and eat all my snacks!  But somehow I manage. 

The FM noticed that my eyes are already looking a LOT better since I have the prescription meds on board -  when I was outside this afternoon, I saw a leaf blowing across the snow and I chased it.  She was so happy.  She wasn't so happy when I ate it though!  I think she had visions of another stomach upset but I'm tough.  I could probably eat a whole tree if I felt like it. 

When the weather cleared up a little I continued my mission - reading all the notes Magoo and Timmy left behind for me.   I'm looking forward to maybe taking a trip to the Post Office next week to meet my new friends there - it sounds like a lot of fun!

I'm still a little tired from my stay at the hospital, so I'm going to head off to bed.  Happy Dreams, Everybody!

Love, Magee.
