Back home again.

I'm not too sure where Friday and Saturday went to, but it was spent mostly hooked to the IV with a new bag of antibiotics being hung every four hours.  Then twice a day they came for more blood to see if it was doing anything.

By Saturday evening, I was beginning to know my own name again, and even when it was time for more antibiotics to be put on the pole.  It takes 72 hours or three days to get a culture to tell  them what specific drug would kill the invader.

So just like that on Sunday morning, they declared that I was out of their hotel.  That took Loyce by somewhat of a surprise, and she had to get down to the hospital  to haul me and all my belongings home.

So I have the strongest antibiotic made in pill form to try and win this battle and my own bed and recliner from where I plan to get it done.

Biscuit is wondering why she can't sit in my lap like before and is whining.  She does know that I am seriously sick because she continuously is trying to lick my feet and sweat pants.  Perhaps that will help me get fixed up, you just never know.

    Dogs are wonderful like that. Mine used to lick my elbow.

    Hope this medication works for you. You've got to get recovered and get to Arizona.

    Speedy recovery, which will be speedier if you don't try to overdo it. Of course, you know that :-)))

    Glad to hear your back home, Rod. Make sure Biscuit looks after you. I hope you just park yourself in your recliner and sleep, watch a few ball games, rest and sleep some more. Give your body a chance to heal.

    Glad to see you are back home. Dogs are such cool creatures. Our little Rusty has been right by my side through my illness. They sense things that we just can't. Hope you are soon feeling good enough to get on your scooter and go for a burger.
