HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY

MUSKETEER PUPPY!

So GLAD to be

HOME from the Hospital!

Here are some

Hospital Photos:

I liked this discrete sign because I didn't want Musketeer walking out into the hallway while I was trying to rest.  HOWEVER...

Someone wrote:  ** SERVICE DOG WORKING!!! ** on the paper the next morning

which caused my room to become a circus side show.

I had CNAs fighting to take me to different appointments so they could see my dog.

Because I wouldn't tell anyone his name (because I didn't want anyone else calling him and distracting him), that was the main topic of conversation at the nurses station.

It got to be so bad, I had two different people come in and ask me what should be done when service dogs are working, memos went out and procedures were implemented.

Musketeer waiting for me to return from a test that he wasn't allowed to go along with me.

I had a cardio cath in my wrist that went up to my heart to shoot dye in to find any blockages.

One was found in a place that they could correct it right there and then by

blowing up a "party balloon" twice, then placing a stent.

I was told that wrist pain was extremely common during and afterwards.

I didn't feel a thing in my wrist.  It was my lower back from laying on a metal table

for over an hour!

I am now on blood thinners, baby aspirin and two other medications

that I wasn't on before.  I feel like a pharmacy!

I'm glad I went into the ER on Saturday (Feb. 2nd) afternoon.

I was told I would have (someday) ended up having a heart attack if I hadn't.

Thank you for all of your prayers and well wishes!

that Musketeer couldn't be near,
