Thanks Sally,

Yes, I'm home alone...with doggie .
He was at the trainers but got into a fight with another dog (his best friend) on Saturday, so he has been home since then for nursing of a puncture on the top of his head.
He'll go back out there on Wednesday once it heals up a little more. I just can't walk him or exercise him with the body like this, but for now, we make a good pair

My friend is checking in on us and is only a few minutes away if we need help and can take me to the hospital if need be. I'm sure that all will be OK as long as I can continue to drink water and stay hydrated, so I'm doing that.

At least emotionally I'm doing well (still cantankerous)...this is more of a body thing, and it just needs some time to get things sorted out.
Tomorrow is a new day, as they say.

Thanks again for the concern, the prayers and for being a friend

With love, Erika
