Illness

Dainty was quite ill 3 weeks ago. On the Friday she developed the runs so we starved her Saturday. Sunday we fed her again but ended up at the vets Monday. She had two injections and was given some paste to go on her food. By Wednesday all was fine as she had normal poos. Late Thursday afternoon she started throwing up and I took her to the vets again. He gave her another injection and I walked her home. When home I ended up staying up the night with her as she was still throwing up every time she had a drink. About 4 in the morning she got up for a drink and kept it down. Half an hour later she perked up a little and had another drink. It took another 48 hours for to get back to herself. Ang’s birthday was nice. Martine and Lee came over and Ang cooked them cottage pie. Afterwards Ang and I went to Wareham to an Italian by the quay. Ang had pizza and I had a chicken dish with rice. Dogs were fine with Lee and Martine. Meal was good but we mistimed trains and couldn’t get a taxi at Wareham station so had to walk to quay in the rain. Monday went to Pokesdown and ordered a computer for Martine’s birthday. It arrived Wednesday and I spent Thursday updating all the OS and installing antivirus software. Yesterday Ang ended up in hospital after taking loads of her tablets. Martine went to hospital for me and kept me informed until she had to go home. Ang came back home just before two in the morning. Her arm was covered in blood where she’d a drip in her arm removed. I cleaned her up and then we sat up for a while. Woke this morning and sorted dogs out. Got in touch with Dr about Ang and he’s made her an appointment for next week. He also sorted a prescription out as the hospital had taken all Ang’s medication.
Global meltdown continues as predicted. 3 to 11 weeks till next wave of events.
