annother sad passing

Clockwise from top: Little Man, Richard, Minnie, Emmy and Oscar.

While I was in the hospital this last time, Rich had to do the hardest thing. He had to put Minnie to sleep. I cried for 3 days. We knew it was coming and really didn't have to procrastinate. He got up to a very sick dog and knew it was time. Of the Original 5, all that is left is Emmy. Don't know how long she has.

Update on Cathy Surgery again

Tried to use FB, but couldn't get it to work.

This is my shitty life. Called the doctor on call on the 5th. Having multiple problems. He advised to wait until Monday and call regular dr. That went over like a lead balloon. Saturday afternoon, we decide to beat feet to St. Luke's ER again. Called the sheriff dispatch to let them know we didn't want an ambulance but where headed to Boise, trying keep us out of trouble. She acted like I was nuts. "Just do the speed limit" except we were in a hurry so ignored that tidbit. Got to ER (they were expecting me) and I was admitted AGAIN being dehydrated, and having suspected ulcer. Stomach spasms making me heave continuously. Back to all liquid diet, by IV. 2 days later IV goes bad again, so now I have a picc line. And I got to bring it home with me! Now I have a type of nitro pill I take 2 times a day, a spray for under my tongue when I need help NOW with spasms. Got to come home on Friday (11). We have been trying to set up a schedule for my meds and "meals". Each has a specific time frame and I can't take them all at the same time. Just took some nite pills, am getting rummy so I'll see ya. Cathy
