I am more than happy to say goodbye to this week. It's been a rough one. Shyla was up with pre-seizure behavior every morning at about 3AM until Wednesday. She didn't seem as tired out by it as we were.
The one good thing from this week was that our vets put their heads together and increased her epilepsy medicine dose. She's slept through the night for the past two nights.
But then it was my turn. I had my bike chain break as I was stomping the pedals to get over a short steep hill. The sudden loss of a chain sent me zooming backwards down a hill. I ended up crashed 10 yards below the trail. Just today, I decided that I had to get the intense pain checked out. It's a broken rib. Dang.
So, let's just wave goodbye to this week and hope for a great weekend and a better week next week.
Farewell indeed. Hope the increase in meds does the trick. And here's to a quick mend for you. Relax this weekend.
ReplyDeleteOh yea, this week wasn't at all polite. We hope the pain goes away super soon.
ReplyDeleteHere is to a better tomorrow!! Glad to hear Shyla is sleeping through the night...hopefully you will get to do the same tonight :-)
ReplyDeleteOh honey, heal quickly! Love to Shyla, and best wishes for the meds working better too!
ReplyDeleteFarewell week!! We hope you heal fast KB!

My computer has been down so I'm catching up. So sorry about your accident. And Shyla's continued problems. I hope she is now on a better regime for all your sakes. And while it's quite painful, the rib will heal with tincture of time. I join you in saying goodbye to this past week for many reasons. And I'm quite ready to say goodbye to 2016 as well.
ReplyDeleteI've broken ribs before. It is SO painful! Don't know how you can ride your bike! I couldn't even breathe!
ReplyDeleteOh, and of course, wishing you speedy healing!
DeleteI am glad Shyla is sleeping through the night. Praying for you. Take things slow
ReplyDeleteOh KB!! Take care of yourselff as well as you take care of the Duo!! Sending rottie kisses. I'll save the hugs - even virtual - for another time!!
ReplyDeleteOMD!!!!! BROKEN RIB??! Holy cow patties! You take it easy, and don't do anythings I wouldn't do...☺

"Holy cow patties" is a phrase that I am definitely going to start using. You crack me up, Ruby.
DeleteGood to hear that Shyla is sleeping better. Be careful and take time to let that rib heal!

No wonder that laughing is too painful. Have you tried the 5 pillow trick, one across, two at an angle, to make a V inverted. and the other two crossways again? New med regime, hope it is helping and all night sleeping will resume soon. What a fab wave goodbye with those hills and mountains behind.

ReplyDeleteCrikey, these things do all tend to come at once, don't they? Having had a broken rib, can completely empathise! Cheering along with you for a better week ahead. Cheerio Shyla, paw waves back at ya! Hugs and wags YAM-aunty xxx
We are more than happy to wave good-by right along with you, Shyla! We're sending you lots of healing vibes, KB!
ReplyDeleteHowdy Mates. I'm sorry you've had such a tough week. I will keep paws crossed your ribs feel better soon and Shyla keeps on sleeping through the night. Take care. No worries, and love, Stella
ReplyDeleteGreat wave, Shyla!
ReplyDeleteBroken ribs are slow to heal, but they do, thank goodness. Be careful, and keep in mind that you can't prepare for or avoid everything that will cause a sharp increase in pain...sneezing with a broken rib is the only thing I can recall that has actually made me "see stars"!
So sorry about your broken rib! But it's good news that Shyla's meds are helping her sleep now. You need your rest!
ReplyDeletePrayers for good health for all!
ReplyDeleteYes, wave goodbye fur sure! Love R's wave! Any pics of him and Shyla waving together (yes, that is a challenge)? Sorry about that broken rib. I heard they are very painful and slow healing.
ReplyDeleteYour Pals,
