I am away from Shadow for the first time since I got him. I wonder how he is doing. My sister is in to take care of the household while I am at the hospital and she is feeding him and getting him outside.
I am in Oak Hill Hospital being given IV antibiotics to combat an infection from a spider bite. It looks nasty. Although after 3 IV treatments, I see a gradual lessening of the redness around the wound itself. I was told that it is not MERSA, which apparently is a drug resistant infection. For that I am thankful. When the doctor came to look at the problem, he didn't seem alarmed and ordered a series of tests to see the extent of the injury.
I miss my dog. This afternoon, I called home and got a pooch update. Sally put the phone to Shadow's ear and I said hi to him. I would love to have seen his face. I didn't expect him to say much because he is a very quiet dog. Still, a "woof" would have been nice.
This post is made from room 431 B, Oak Hill Hospital, Florida. This is my first visit to a hospital as a patient, in all my years, I've only visited friends in hospitals. I'm afraid I am not a very good patient, but I did bring this laptop, a mini DVD player (with 10 movies) a video camera, and my cell phone; I don't travel lightly, ever.
