I was up all night with my dog (soul mate)– a 165 lb St. Bernard. After developing ridiculous hot spots (leaking pus and ooze) I went to the basement and got ‘The Cone’ to put around his neck prohibiting him from biting at his sores until we could get him to the vet the next morning.
I was up all night.
Husband and other dog snored. St. Bernard panted and panted and crashed into walls as “The Cone” is the size of a large overstuffed beanbag and prohibits him from fitting through a doorway. After whining to my husband to shut the hell up and stop snoring, I gave up and tried to sleep on the couch. My dog just stared at me, scared to move in “The Cone” and panting and drooling. After a total of 2 hours and 10 minutes of sleep I climbed off the couch and rushed to get ready so as to be the first person (and dog) at the vet. In my rush I didn’t see the giant puddle of drool my panting dog left on the kitchen tile. I ran through it. My legs flew behind me and remained parallel to my ass as I bell-flopped to the hard floor landing in said giant puddle of drool on my hip, elbow and face. I began to moan. My husband was there in a flash as he thought, “the refrigerator had fallen over.” Apparently I need to lose weight too, as I sound like the damn fridge.
Brusied, cut up, burned and aching like I haven’t before, I have made it through two days since the fall. My dog is doing better. I still can’t lay down and my right side throbs. I am constantly reminded that I am getting to be an old refrigerator.

Pfftffffttt.

3 weeks ago when we cam back from Las Vegas I got the flu and a double infection in my ears and throat. Not so fun, but to top it off I was 12 weeks pregnant and not keeping anything down so I was put on bed-rest for 3 days and could not take any of the antibiotics – so I am still getting over the ear and throat part of the problem.

Being on bed rest with a 2 year old and an equally sick husband is. not. possible. Ever. Dumb. Idea. From. the. Hot. Doctor.

Tonight I go work a 13 hour night shift at the hospital. Fun times hey?

What high school/jr. high did you go to in the city did you go to? There seriously can not be that many Tanis’s out there could there…???
