Subject: What a day
Last Saturday Bill became ill with a stomack bug, and all he has eaten is toast and drank less than 2 pts of fruit juice a day. I called the doctor out on Monday and Wednesday but he didn't want him to go to hospital because of the amount of infections are there. This morning, the carer who gets him up, showered and dressed couldn't cope because he was so weak that I had to help her.
I telephoned the doctor and told him that if he doesn't put him into hospital I will, so the doctor arranged for him to go in. There were no beds so we both spent the after noon in Accendent and Emergency, but I had to go home to see to the dogs. I do know were he was going to go, but there were others ahead of him to to there.
While I was eating my tea, Tommy fell down twice in less than 5 minutes, of off to the vets we went. He gave her a good examination and found pain in her hips. He has given her an injection to kill the pain and I have to take her back tomorrow.
We haven't had any rain for weeks, but this evening it made up for it. When I went out I locked the front door and put the key in my jeans pocket, but when I got home the key had gone. I went across to my neighbour who as a key but hers is missing as well. Eventually, by using the caravan step I managed to open the gate and luckily because I was so anxious about Tommy I hadn't locked the back door and was able to get into the house, cold, wet and very miserable.
Dixie is also giving problems, she won't stop pacing up and down the garden and refuses to come in out of the rain. I have a flap for them to go in and out when they want and I have had to close it off to keep Dixie in.
Someone once said, that if it wasn't for no luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all.
Thankfully, Tomorrow is another day, I don't think I could cope with another like this

How are Bill and Tommy doing now? And did you find your keys?

Oh Margaret, what a dreadful time for all. I do hope Bill is improving, I imagine they have him on a drip now? What a worry. I hope the injection has helped Tommy and he's a bit better. On top of that, your key problem. I'm really sorry Margaret and hopefully today will be much better for all concerned. Take special care of yourself and of course, Bill and Tommy.

I telephoned the hospital before taking Tommy to the vets, and Bill had a comfortable night. They are trying to find a side ward for him, but up to then there wasn't one. I will be going in to see him in about half an hour.
Took Tommy back and the vet examined her hip and it was much better. She only had a 20 minute walk this morning instead of her usual hour. After the vet examined her she was in pain so I have given her a painkiller. Thankfully this is not a perminant injury, and hopefully she will soon be back to normal. Tommy seems to have a little more of my heart than my other 2, and I don't know how that happened.vbg

Hope Bill is feeling better after having a good night and that he gets a better room. Also glad Tommy's injury doesn't sound permanent. Take care of yourself as well and sending positive thoughts your way.

I'm hoping by now that Bill has a better bed and that Tommy's pain has decreased.
Take care of yourself. I'm praying for you.
Kylie
