We are FINE

 

I had to give my stamp of approval for Daddy to come home and sit on the sofa with me. I looked at his vital signs and said Sure, Doc, let him come home.  

Ummm! Reality Check! Mama took this photo just 3 hours after daddy's surgery was over. His vitals always come back to perfect really quickly, or so she says. Here she is to tell you the current update.

Just the Facts, Mama! Puleezze

we both slept 4 hours straight, another 4 hours broken by pain pills. YAY

He is walking great, with walker of course and all is well, Just now 24 hours after surgery.

so far this knee is less painful than the other was.

We are fine, all 3 of us.

 Nurse Chats during the long boring day gave me the answer to how the 11 cars got smashed in the parking lot last week.

Lyn, the nurse said the man came to work drunk and was fired. He rammed all those cars on purpose. That makes sense, because we could not tell just how a drunk driver could to that.

The nurse that was screaming over her car was because it was a brand new Mercedes. 

Today we are thankful, for a successful left knee and that the man did not decide to come inside the hospital with a gun instead of ramming those cars.

Here's Da Scoop

 

Here's the Scoop for today. The collage is Me on Monday Sept 6. 

What you see here is just about all I do all day. I went 5 days with no walk, but yesterday, Tuesday I got a five minute walk with mama walking like she is an old lady, you know toddler style... 

today I got 10 minutes walk, she walked a little better.

Her head hurts but comes and goes, her dizzy is there but not as bad, it comes and goes also

I do get 2 ball games a day, but I am out of shape and only want three throws, Mama says all three of us are past our expiration date on our internal parts, like a really old car.

They went to therapy today and daddy's new part is doing really, really well. he goes Friday and will be done which means I will not get left home alone three days a week.

This is the elevator they ride on to get up stairs to therapy. 

Looks to me like they are just playing and now working while I am left home. I could ride in that box with them.

There are 2 more on MadSnapper!

Tale of Woe

 

I  sad and wondering if my wonderful life has come to

an  end.

When I try to do this lap dog thing, he says No Beau that hurts daddy's knee.

I can lay my head on his chest but not get on the lap.

Daddy can't  walk because he has  a new knee, which doesn't make sense, before the surgery he could not walk because the old one did not work and now he has a new one and it will not walk either.

And my mama got sick and I did not get to walk for two whole days.

She said she thought I could walk today, but she is still dizzy and Daddy gave me 6 runs chasing my ball.

Mama has been in the bed more than out and  Yes she is taking care of feeding me and daddy, but that is all she does.

Butt Sunday morning she said Beau I can't stand  up but I am not dizzy sitting down, and Daddy can sit too, lets go for a 

and we DID, we rode a long time.. she rode fast so my ears would flap and rode slow so I could smell and see things.

I want my Pawrentz back doing MY things.

I hear Mama saying over and over, This Too Shall Pass!

I hope she is right and soon because this is day 13 that Mama is Out Of Order

PEESSSS  I still gets lots and lots of hugs and pets and kisses

I PLAYED BALL TODAY

Throw it! Throw It!

Today, August 28th 2021, on the 13th Day After Daddy's New Knee, HE THREW the ball for me 5 times. 

We were both pooped and happy.

Mama said I have been and Angel and Oh so patient! Daddy walks slow, but no cane or walker

and it is MY secret why I would not chase the ball when Mama threw it!

Daddy said ball games are HIS job and Walking is Mamas Job.

 

Just so you know

 Comments are off, I just wanted all of you to know, I do not have Covid, my headaches are sinus and STESS related. I am stressed to the max and will start telling the story when I can stand to do it.

Doc had told me to take Ibuprofen every 4 hours and Zyrtec. I take Z every night of my life for allegies. This morning my head was splitting and it occured to me to try Flonase Spray. I sprayed twice in each nostril and within an hour the headache eased. I will do that am and Z pm and see what happens.

Don't worry, I am OK, just dizzy and feeling STRESSSSSED... I am staying OFF LINE until I feel better,

thanks for all the love and caring... Back Soon

UPDATE

 

This is front and back of Daddy's let, it is doing well and he is 3 weeks ahead of where others would be. His numbers are almost back to normal and he is bored to death. So Am I..

Love Beau.

Mama here, I am not posting because I am having crushing headaches and thrush in my mouth, i am totally exhausted and in pretty much of a snit. In the past 8 days, we got at most 2 to 4 hours of sleep due to Bob and pain and not sleeping, when i woke up to help him, with meds and ice, I laid in bed castrophizing. Will be back when the headaches go away.

I simply am to exhausted for the past 5 months of  being the only person able to do all things. Bob has had several scares with his health, just to much to tell. will be back when I can. Just typing this is making my head hurt

Dog Eat Ball World!

 

I guess I live in a dog-eat-ball world!

In my basket, you will see balls ,a bone and an old worn shoe.

None of those will I ever chew.

Jakes shoe and Big boys bone and his big green ball,

 I have never never touched at all.

The Kong is mine but I only chew when it is full of peanut butter

Put their for me by my mudder.

She knew I loved all things orange and round,

so a great BIG orange ball she found.

She kicked it for me inside 

and she kicked it for me outside

I refused to chase it,

But I loved to taste it.

Now it lives all ragged and torn

On the high shelf in the closet all tattered and worn.

THIS POST was created on Aug ll and it was sitting with 8 others waiting.

 And now since Daddy has been NOT Daddy it is no longer a true poem.

.

In the past he played with NOTHING but orange thing. I kept trying to entertain him and Friday I got out the ripped ball and wonder of wonders he loved it, Of course he loved ripping it, but when I tried to take it he Shocked me by playing tug, He pulled me all over the living room

First time ever playing tug, Saturday I bought at rope and not only did he play tug with me he grabbed it and acted like a REAL DOG! Throwing it in the air, whipping it around and then chewing it and chewing it.

Not playing with orange ball has its benefits. 

In the past

Day 4 Friday UPDATE Daddy

I miss my daddy, this is what i have done for the past 3 days, sit and look sad, I can see him on the sofa but something is wrong with him. He is not himself and Mama is acting wild and crazy and racing around. I stopped talking to her. all three of us were depressed and they did not sleep much, up all hours of the night

Today  I talked again. From the time mama came home without daddy, I did not use my voice to direct my people on what and when they needed to do.

Day 4 daddy went to therapy and was told he is way ahead of the game, I want to know what game, because it is sure not MY games,

Mama explained that Daddy walked 87000 feet without the walker, aced all his exercises including 10 minute on a bike. 

Mama said daddies knee laying flat should be 0 his was 4, flex bent should be 120, and Monday it was 100 and Wed it was already 105, she said this is rare this soon that most people start at 20 and have to work up to 120. Most people take 3 months to get to 120.

She told him when he hits 120 he is done with her. YAY

He was cleared to go outside and walk around the pool and MIGHT go on a cane on Monday. Daddy went out with me and I peed and peed and after that I got my voice back, I woo wooed every time I always did. 

The good news is Daddy is MUCH better, he cooked his own breakfast today . As of 3 AM is off the Oxycodone Narcotic and on Tylenol. YAY he said NO to Drugs

Mama is still not back to normal, headaches and anxiety attacks She will UPDATE here. And may or may not comment. She is taking Daddy to Therapy 3 days a week. She fears she has Alzheimer's or a brain tumor. 

Daddy is home

 

Daddy came home pushing a weird looking rolling thingy in front of him, as soon as he sat down, I was there. I am not very happy, He will not go outside, he just sits there putting cold things on his knee. I am a little nervous when he pushes the rolling thingy. He either sits on the sofa or lays on the bed.

Where is my real daddy.

I am told I will be home alone today because he goes to therapy, but only for a couple of hours.

He got zero sleep last night, from pain and Mama got maybe 2 hours.

things are not the same.

this too shall pass

Creative ways to eat

Beau always watches daddy cook his breakfast on a cast iron griddle, then I cook mine. He gets an egg from me and daddy's toast crust. we blocked him off and Daddy through the toast to him. he loves to catch things. He is happy. Daddy not so much, I don't cook breakfast like he does but it was the same food if not the same taste

Paws and Jaws

After the rain, 

I played my GAME!

Inside my kitchen I came.

from door to dog,

all 12 tiles I did log

a beautiful copy of my paws

and mama cleaned them up after video of my chewing jaws.

PS this video was created way back on the 14th just sitting in drafts. Before My daddy disapeared.

He got a new knee, but did not come home. 

I got up this morning and wandered looking for him. I did eat my breakfast and Mama whispered in my ear that she thinks daddy will reappear today.

she talked to him last night on the phone at 5:30 and he had not been out of bed yet.

He had Talapia, carrots and mast taters and gravy, with Ginger Ale. He said it was good but not enough of it. He went 17 hours with no food and was really hungy.

Sound up please to hear my pop pop
