24Apr24: Andy’s ‘nipped…

He’s got the blank look of a ‘nip user, and he stayed there like this, immobile for several minutes.

He’s really twitchy now, my next clue.

He moved over to the lapboard and slept it off. Good ‘niip!

=(^+^)=

I couldn’t access the Internet on my laptop yesterday. It looked pretty grim because Spectrum tech support’s Jaimie wasn’t able to come up with a solution. I decided it was a good time to stand away from the problem and come back the next day. I have exactly no idea what I did differently today, but I have WiFi again. I hate computers! And I love them to death.

01Aug20: What’s up, Doug?

Andy’s curious. Why won’t I let him come around to the other side?

Maybe it’s because he has “Itchy Paws” and all I need to start hyperventilating again is Andy to wipe out what little hard won progress I’ve made on the nightmare configuration issues on my new laptop and photo sharing from my smart phone.

Seems like I resolve one issue and bring up twelve more. I’m not kidding about hyperventilation! ( I hope the person who cuts my beard and hair is operating again soon or I might be tempted to do it myself. >self to myself< “Don’t do it, Doug!”)

Post 1896: The kitty boys are back!

IMG_20181104_071823

We’ve had a grumpy few days, thanks to a laptop giving up the ghost, but my new laptop means the kitty boys and I can return to regular posting.

What’s going to fall apart next? I suspect it’s time for the smart phone to go belly up. I mean, don’t expensive things always fail close to expensive holidays like Christmas? And it’s about the only bit of technology I use that’s left to croak!

21May26: updates

I turned this into roast beef sandwich. Very tasty!

This device in back allows me to get out of bed, sit in a chair, and get a bit of exercise in the process. Good deal! And poop like a human on a toilet….

I feel a lot better. White blood cell count down two days in a row. One of night nurses is German and so I got talk in my lousy German with her and trade stories about favorite things about the FRD, *a beautiful* *place.*

A selection of wee Andrew photos for you!

I’m w/o my glasses, so doing this blog is problematic at times. Maddening for an English major!!!

I do want you to know how I’m doing. It’s worth it for you loyal readers!

Here till Saturday at least.

20may20: victory!

Tnat’s a chair I’m in! Second day. It was easier, my feet worked better. I was stronger on the gizmo they used to maneuver me into a chair. Yey Bulldogs!

I hope Andy’s still being a good boy for Tori. It was really heartening to hear him giving her his loud purr and scratching his scratching post the other day!

Pretty good. Pot roast beef for lunch very tender.

19Apr26: Tori takes great care of my kitty!

Gad! I may look like heck, but I’m feeling.much better. I will be at Regional West at least till Wednesday, then….

16Apr26:

No.idea when iI get out of here, the beginning five weeks of radiation trratment….

The stir fry was good but much. I hate wasting food, but the servings her are huge.

15Apr26: can’t finish lunch becaus…

Day 2 at Regional West.

Excellent care; diarrhea from antibiotics;my hospitalization not known by all who needed to know; weak and probably will need therapy after pneumonia; miss Andy and try not to think about it.

They got three liters of fluid of me today in dialysis. The goal is two more.

Emergency room…

It looks like I will be transported to another hospital. This blog my be down while I recover from pneumonia. Andy is taken care of. Please don’t call since I need to conserve on charge till I know where I’m going to and charging availability. I won’t reply to comments for a time either.

Thank you!

Pretty sick Doug
