Lucky Update

Well, it has been awhile but I hope you are following my Twitter posts. The last month has been a bit of an adventure but as of today, I'm looking pretty good and I seem to feel much better. My skin is clearing up and I am much less itchy and scratchy.

I am finished with the chloramphenicol (last week) and the ketaconizol (yesterday 1/28) and I feel like a new dog. I am resting much better and letting my owner folks sleep more through the night.

Tha adventure part? Well, I ate two washclothes just before Xmas. I puked one back up on New Years Day morning (Happy New Year!) and the other a few days later. It interfered with the meds I was on and I got a little run down and sick. I skipped a day to get settled down then finished up my meds.

The other part of the adventure was me having accidents in the house. I couldn't help it. Hopefully that is behind me. I think I was stressed with the meds making me have to go all the time.

One bummer is that my hips are bothering me a bit. I had some trouble on the stairs - even wiping out and scaring the bajeesus out of Jim and Beth at one point. But Beth installed some really nice stair runners that make my traction much better. We even went for a couple of longer walks when it wasn't so cold out. I also have mini stairs that go up to the bed, so I can sack out with them at night. Plus Beth bought a night light so I can see them if I have to get up late at night! Cool, huh?

Anyway, that's all for now. I'll post some pics so you can see my progress.
