My chemo appointment was at 10:30 so that could wait. The first order of the day was to take a used plastic container with a snap on lid, the creamed cheese size, and get a urine sample from Bandit.
At 6:30, after a no puddles night, I was sure I could get it. I was in slippers and robe. It worked well for a very short time. As soon as he realized I was there he stopped but I thought I had enough.
I started for the house carefully holding my container level – I hadn’t thought to bring the lid.
Everything was fine until I caught the edge of the door jamb with the toe of my right foot. Slooowly I went down to my right knee, then my right elbow, then my butt.
I probably could have caught my balance if I hadn’t been determined to keep that plastic container level.
Not a drop was spilled. Cussing, then laughing didn’t help me get up so I sat there a moment thinking how this would make a good comedy routine. Maybe I could sell the idea to Tim Conway.
By 8:30 the sample was at the vet’s. To make a long story short, Bandit has an infection. I picked up the pills this afternoon. He is to have 2 pills every 12 hours. He gobbles them down when I put them inside hollowed out pieces of hotdog. Of course, Teddy also has to have tiny pieces of hotdog too.
I had 2 mashed boiled eggs for breakfast, took my shower, mailed some packages, and made it to my appointment 10 minutes early. My blood was good and I got my chemo on schedule.
My next stop was Barnes & Noble to talk to them about their different models of the Nook.
There is a new one coming out next week that they say is simpler to operate. I put my name down for one but I’m not obligated to buy it. It’s black & white touch screen. It can surf the web and download books from Barnes & Noble or the library if WIFI is available. It’s a bit smaller than the others and the battery life is longer. We will see.
Later….
