Take it one minute at a time, and you come through OK. Keep us posted, and if things get too bad, get medical help no matter what the cost is!

It's more likely I'll call my friend to come over than go for a walk. She has nothing on her agenda and doesn't mind driving far. She suggested she could get to know my pups before I go into the hospital (if I do). What I will try to do (as I've been successful in November) is to maintain. I have to suck it up and yet realize I have limitations, as does my body. In our misery, and I know I am not alone here, I will try to lay down and sleep. Sleep is good. Thank you.
