Saturday to Saturday

What a week... Riley, my 12 yr old Chocolate Lab and dog poop connoisseur must have mistaken bad poop for good poop last Saturday... Leading two almost three days of refusal to eat with multiple, ample vomits in the house and an equal number of carpet shampoos... 

Noticing a few of my own health concerns yesterday had me at the VA clinic in the afternoon with a "call if it gets worse" diagnosis I was okay with... Til today... 

But first... On our after breakfast hike this morning... JJ, my 10 yr old Black Lab decided that bathing himself in something dead might be a good way to attract Mormon bitches... Covered in the worst smell I have ever smelled... Got him lifted into the tub on our return home, we both ended up with a bath... 

Still having some health concerns... I called the VA  clinic and left a message... I was greeted by the nurse on the return call with this, "Get to the emergency room!!!" Not believing that lead me to stop again at the VA clinic just to be sure... 

EIRMC Emergency... I have had some issues with them before... But today was great... An IV with two rounds of infused antibiotics and something to reduce inflammation... I feel much better... Total time out of my house (doorbell to doorbell) and with a list of things to do as long as the IV tube... 3hrs... Not bad... 

I didn't get everything done on the list... But... At least I'm not living with a "motivational speaker" anymore... She can call it what she likes... I called it nagging... 

Tomorrow morning at 11am (in case any paparazzi care to show up)  I'll be back at EIRMC for a second round of antibiotic infusion... Hopfully that's all it takes... Saturday to Saturday... I need to go on the road again...
