Recovery

Well, Pugly went to the vet yesterday and they gave him a clean bill of health plus a vacination for kennel cough.  He can go back to doggy daycare next Monday.  Lucky puppy!

And here I am in the hospital.  After 4 hours of being unable to pee, they finally used a catheter to help relieve me of 700cc of pee-pee.  Owie.  That’s after they inserted long needles into my left kidney eight times; the doctor told my mother it was only three, but they didn’t use any drugs and I was wide awake for the whole thing.  They weren’t kidding about making me lay flat on my back for six straight hours and the television channel selection sucks.  I didn’t get to eat until nearly 2:30pm and dinner was only so-so.  No caffeine until almost 6pm.  The only painkiller is tylenol.

Right now I’m just praying for some sort of sleep that will take me until morning as I’m uncomfortable, it’s noisy and my arms ache in addition to my back and head.

And I miss my puppy and kitties. :((

Oh, and today they told me that I can’t pick up or walk Pugly for the next 5 days.  Well, I can’t pick up anything over 10lbs for a week or two but no walking the dog for at least 5 days due to possible pulling.  So my mom has to do all the walking.  *sigh*
