Distracted

[miladycarol]

Morgana was feeling pretty spry last night after her therapy session, and this morning she is in pain again. I called in the prescription for pain meds. I can't take it any more. I feel her pain. I wince when I watch her. Maybe if she can relax, the muscles will stay where they should and her spine won't torque any more.

I've been incredibly distracted. I had an appointment this morning and I went unshowered, rode there and walked several feet from my bike before remembering to lock it. I left my coat in the waiting room... *sigh*

Maybe a few days away from Gana will do her some good. Every time I wince, she feels it and turns toward me. I think she is more aware of my state than her own. She's like that. Perhaps me sitting here fretting is making things worse. I'll be gone a few days and she can relax into the pain meds and heal. G will take good care of her.

I will do my very best not to fret and worry while gone.

In other news, the ugly tarp job over the doggie door is doing its job. Since I know it works, I'll cut and reposition it when I return.

Okay. I'm heading for the shower. I am damp and in need of the cleanse.

Moose seems to have his worst pain (from his hips) in the mornings, too. A heated bed is supposed to be helpful for this kind of thing, but Moose gets overheated easily and then pants and pants (rather than just move when he's too hot). Ah, my poor doofus. But in colder months especially, he's very gimpy getting up and it takes a while for him to work out the kinks. :(

How old is Moose? I throw the girls into the sauna in the mornings to heat up her muscles. Still... this pinched nerve thing is so old it's fossilized.

He's 9 (for big dogs, 7 is usually considered senior citizen territory). I think he's okay with cold outside of what it does to his hips... he's not fond of heat. My delicate flower of a dog.... :P

Gana is 14. I'm not sure what constitutes senior for teeny dogs, I feel she's there, though. She's my little hero.
