Yeah, I'm on a roll tonight.  But Buster and Prissy have been in the chair, totally oblivious to the world for quite a while and since I had the camera handy, I had to get a picture of the exhausted "lovers", lol. 

I actually took two pictures and Buster never even knew it, so he's got to be totally exhausted.  He's so camera shy that he can just sense when one is in the room and normally has "high tailed it" before I can snap a picure.  Bless his little Romeo heart, lol.

They've been "at it" for days now and other than their "moments" that I'd just as soon not witness, I do enjoy watching their constant little gestures of love and romance.  Buster is either nudging her gently or she's doing it to him.  All the face licking and ear washing is getting to be a ritual with Buster, while Prissy just soaks it up.  I can't help but smile and have taken up calling them Romeo and Juliet.  Here are the exhausted "Romeo and Juliet", sleeping in the same chair, of course.  Shhhhh......they need their rest. lol

 

I've had two days of physical therapy and with all the machines, electodes and sonar power I've been hooked up to so far, I figure I'm about "medium rare" and after tomorrow's session, I'll be "well done".  What the heck, if it works, I'm a happy camper. 

This Sciatica is one thing I never want to experience again.  I'm all over the map as far as pain goes....I can go from fairly comfortable to in excrutiating pain in a matter of minutes, and vice versa.  And what works a little to alleviate it one time doesn't necessarily work the next. 

I felt pretty good for over an hour this evening, so Ice and I took advantage of the opportunity to get some newer pictures of the LaQuinta's remaining three puppies and Sally's two.  I keep getting calls and emails from prospective buyers that want to see pictures, so I'm glad we were able to get that done.  Ice cooked me a great supper, which was breakfast (bacon, eggs and toast) and it was delicious!  I've lost eight pounds since this curse came over me and haven't had much of an appetite, so it was great to have a great meal and the appetite to go with it. 

I'm currently reclining totally back and typing on the laptop, which is great for the back, but it's hard on my neck, so I'll shut up and post the pictures.  Keep those prayers and positive energy coming this way, folks.  Every little bit helps and I'm determined to be a lot better real soon!  Love you all!

I've had a couple of really bad days but feel a little better today. I can sit more comfortably, which is a blessing. So I'm back to doing a little more with the laptop and hope I can catch up with everybody. My grandaughter showed me a video this weekend that tickles me every time I see it, so I'm going to attempt putting it in this post. If I'm successful, I hope you all enjoy this little misfit "frog" as much as I do. Bing Bing! Later, gators! Pup

The ole positive attitude is wearing thin the last couple of days.  Just when the majority of my back pain went away and I regained some semblance of normal movement, the hip and leg pain set it.....with a vengence!  Doc says it's Siatica and that I need to just be patient and let my back continue to recover. 

Siatica, huh?  Well, I'd heard of it, but never experienced it myself til now.  One thing's for sure, I am not enjoying it at all because at least before it started, I could be fairly comfortable by remaining still.  That's no longer the case and seems the more I try to get up and walk around, the harder and faster these horrible pains ping across my hip and down my left leg. 

Am I whining?  Yes.  Complaining?  Yes.  Losing my patience?  Yes.  Getting irritable?  Yes.  Generally pissed off?  YES!!!!!

I was getting just a tad of relief today, so like a real smarty, I decided I could get by on Ibruprophen rather than the prescription pain medication and I also decided to do some reading on the internet about the condition.  Well, the first article I read stated that it was very important to stay active, so I got up and decided I'd do some back exercises and move around the house as much as possible.  Boy, was that the wrong thing to do!  Now I'm back to hurting as badly as I was yesterday morning and back on the pain pills.

So back to the internet I go and find case after case with advise to rest/stay active.  What is a person to believe?  Getting active didn't help mine a bit and made the pain much worse, so my doctor's words keep ringing in my ears...."Be patient". Okay Doc, I get your point now, but I really need to be lots better before Monday when duty calls...LIKE A BULL HORN.  "Patience" and "the work force" don't seem to mix well. 

Whoa, is that violin music I hear?  Okay, I get the point and I'm gonna shut up now.  Later, y'all.
