Our Week for Doctors

   It seems that this week is our week for doctors.  I had to do a self-INR test on Monday and after a little trouble getting started ended up with a score of 2.7 which I called in.  My nurse at Bassett called me back and told me to keep my Warfarin dose the same and test again next Monday.  Lovely.  I do not like self-testing. 
   Then Jeff had an appointment with the pain specialist that afternoon and she decided to try the radiological surgery and steroid injections again beginning with his shoulder next Monday.  On Tuesday he had an upper GI done at Little Falls Hospital that took all morning. 
   Today Fanny went to the vet and got 3 booster shots (rabies, distemper, and Lyme's disease),ear cytology (her ears checked)with erythromycin ointment for infection in both, a vetalog injection to cut down on her scratching, her nails clipped and weighed (87lbs, down a couple of pounds from last year.)  Fanny's total bill was $195.00 but she's good until next year.  She did not like being at the vet's, hiding under the chairs in the waiting room and

pooping on the exam table.  She didn't mind getting the nails on her back paws clipped but definitely did not like the vet touching her front feet!  She even managed to wiggle out of the

muzzle but Jeff got it back on before she could bite anyone!  And she definitely did not like all the shots!  But we went to McD's before heading home and she got an ice cream cone, so I think that may have made up for the unpleasant experiences.  It was a stressful day for her and right now she's napping on the chair behind me and Jeff's napping on the bed.

oh...Jeff found the lost handset/phone yesterday while playing catch with Fanny in the TV room...it was in a corner under a chair.  Haven't the foggiest idea how it got there but...a night on the charger and it's working again!
