It seems all docs have the potential to screw us up with some med that we shouldn't have - all with good intentions, of course! (gag on the sentiment)

I have to chime in on the dog stories though. I had a german shorthair named Heidi that just died last year. She was SO sensitive to my conditions that when I had problems, she walked so she lightly touched my leg at all times. She saved my life once by nudging my arm so many times that she got my adrenalin going well enough to pull me out of my stupor and realize I was barely breathing and needed a Mestinon. She stayed right there staring at me until the Mestinon kicked in, then she went and laid down. Close by, but not right against me.

They are such amazing creatures. I miss her alot. I have 2 labs now, but they don't have the sensitivity yet. I whelped the litter when Heidi was born, so we bonded almost from the day of her birth, so I don't know if these two ever will be like that. They sure are good for a laugh and a bath though!

Hope you get lined out there Rach. I'm sorry bout the kidney infection - those are so painful. And try not to feel guilty about sitting around! Just remind yourself that if you don't learn to ignore the dust bunnies for now, it'll be that much longer before you are able to do something about them without wiping yourself out. Patience is key with this disease!

Hugs to all!
