Hospital or Home?

Beloved, My physician called last night at 7:00 pm. He was out of town, but wanted to C how I was doing? “Had I started taking the antibiotic? How was the pain? Could I tolerate a glass of water? Did I have a fever?” Do I want to go to the hospital, right now? “I will call and admit you by telephone", he graciously said!" My specimens and blood work show that I need to come in right away Monday morning, can I do that? “Lonneeee, make sure you drink fluids, make sure you keep on the medicine””” His nurse, also called, said same thing….. I promise…. To do these things..... Lola Mae, is quite the corker, our street is tore up. She got loose in the front yard, and barked at every back hoe, front end loader, pipe, orange sign for two blocks. Once again I put on a show for the nrighbors, I would bend down to get the black beauty and she would jump 10 feet to the side, then lift her lip like Elvis and bark at me. Then she got the Rottweiler going…. I am going to use the fish net, so as to grab her so I can bring her in the house. I have one couple that sit in their yard chair and laugh at me trying to catch her. Baby Em, is pulling notes from my pocket and then reading them to me!!! She loves licking her plate after desert and when she walks down the center isle at church, no one is paying attention to me!!!! Life is very good, with complications and pain, but what the heck, I choose to live, life full of joy and happiness, even tho the beast is leaving some painful scars. Beloved let us face tomorrow together, encouraging each other to manage our health as best we can; remembering always to do what is right and good and forgiving the slacker that just does not get it yet! I love this place, thanks for reading, yea, I am home sick.. Lon

((Lon)) What a blessing you are to me. You really set an example about living. Catching your dog just made me laugh. That is what happens if our little Sassy gets out front. I just get in the car and go after her. She heads out in a dead run but it always is in the direction that I take her on walks so I know where she is going. I stop and open the door and she jumps in and we come home. If there are kids out anywhere that is where she will be. I hope you feel better soon. Drink lots of water. Take those antibiotics. Thought I would just tell you also.  I have been on antibiotics since June and am to take them until I go back in a couple of months. We got rain! today. We are so thankful. We got .6 inch. It is just a drop in the bucket to what we need but it was so refreshing and it cooled things off wonderfully. We supposedly need at least 23 inches to get even with this drought. That is going to be tough. Take care of yourself. You are missed when you aren't here. I hope your eye is better. Wish I could hear your sermon tomorrow. Possi

Hi Lon, Sorry you are having complications and added pain. Lola Mae sounds like such a good dog. She lets everyone and everything know who is the boss. It sounds like she has you well trained. My Nettie Poo keeps me happy and active with all her needs. Get better soon Lon and do what the doctor orders. Bought a handmade walking stick made out of a Diamond Willow branch. God even makes beautiful sticks.

Lonnie Lonnie Lonnie, Lola Mae was sent to you to keep you moving, keep you laughing and help you entertain everyone around you ... including us!!! You make sure you keep looking after yourself so you can keep up with her (almost) OK?
I have a feeling Lin would completely agree!!!
Agape dear,

Lola Mae sounds so cute. I can just see you and her playing her game of "catch me if you can". It seems that both your doctor and his nurse really care about you. You need to follow their orders and take care yourself.
I am keeping you in my prayers. I'm hoping the Great Healer will have you feeling better soon.
