Sickness/Illness prevails in this household. I went to the Dr. on Thurs. and stayed home from work and slept almost all day. I have a bacterial infection in the throat. I tried to work on Friday, but even after being on antibiotics for 24 hrs. I actually felt worse than on Thurs. and was sent home at lunchtime. I have a sore throat and swollen tonsils and also swollen glands going down my neck and under the tongue. I was off today, but had to take my dogs to the vet. My little dog was peeing blood again, and the big dog needed a re-check for the recurring problem with infections and bladder stones. The big dog was surpisingly worse than the little dog and they are now both on antibiotics too. My big dog seems to be a puzzling case for the vets, and the vet I saw today told me that the other vet will call me on Monday. Three years of infections and stones is ridiculous. My Big Girl is a candidate for a specialist because she is a case that they can't figure out. They are going to recommend my Big Girl to a urologist. By the time I got home my throat and head felt terrible again. My tonsils are so swollen I can hardly swallow. I need to go to the store to get some aspirin for the pain, so maybe in a couple of hrs. I will feel up to it. Oh, the Dr. also gave me a beta-blocker for my heart. We will see. When I got home from the vet my cat must have gotten angry that we were all out. He does this sometimes if we take a long walk . He gets in the window and makes that sound that only he makes. Candles and stuff near the window were knocked on the floor, and the expensive blinds were in disarray but luckily, for him, not broken.

T.M.I.-- too much information, you bet, but the way I feel right now, too bad.
