All Fun and Games Till Somebody Gets a Cone

If you don't follow me on IG this is news.

Howie and I were back once more 

at emergency vet on Saturday.

He scratched his eye and infection set in uber fast 

and he was in agony.

He really hates the cone and can't go 

out dog door or navigate the stairs.

I moved his bed against the couch

within reach for petting and rubs.

SOoooooooo

Mama has to let him outside as he

does that frequently day and night

 through dog door, and I also comfort him

 and stop him from trying to 

constantly rip off cone and scratch.

He has Houdini skills.

DR said it is extremely itchy and meds

can only partially soothe.

Three days to relief it says and today is #3.

 I've been back on couch as he'll whimper 

and cry if I'm upstairs without him.

 I have not slept 

a continuous 2 hours since Friday night.

Most of you know I wasn't sleeping well 

anyway but jeez this is hard.

I'm a zombie.

I try to limit my activities as

he follows me everywhere and 

he does not manage the cone well smashing

into everything. Of course current vision 

in only one eye is a huge hindrance 

to depth perception and peripheral vision. 

I feel like we're the two poster children

of geriatric medicine these past 10 months.

I repeat my prayers of gratitude

on a constant loop, but I am getting weary.

Tests and new Drs in August.

As long as I don't have to wear a cone.
