Life with a visual impairment requires some adjustments. You saw the stroller for when we are actually trying to get somewhere. I sleep on a high bed. I can no longer see the edge clearly, so a pillow bumper is in order. I like it- nice and cozy! Under me is a rubber mat and a towel, just in case.
My friends left this morning. Last night they chose pupperoni pizza for dinner! Lady ordered me chicken strips. Oh happy day! Vicky shared with me! I didn't share my chicken strips. Lady made them chocolate nut cookies. They didn't share, either.
The steroids continue to wreak havoc on my bladder and bowels. I wreak havoc on the bedroom floor, despite having an open door to the bathroom and the balcony, and it reeks! Lady took me out to take care of business early this morning and I led her back to our gate when I was ready to come in. I walked in the door (an improvement in itself -I didn't bump into the door), went to the bedroom and pooped. Praise the Lord for dry dog chow and easy pick up. Tomorrow is my last day on roids. Praise the Lord. We just hope my eyesight continues to be as good as it is now. I can't see at night, or right in front of me, but otherwise I do really well.

Just keep on keeping on, Marley. The chicken strips sound delicious.

ReplyDeleteOh you do look so cosy and comfy under your blankie... taking the good, coping with the not so good. Pretty much describes life anyway, Marley. Continued POTP and blessings to you darlin'... hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
Yep...sounds just like me. I can see distance but when a treat is held in front of me, I just snap at the air until I find it (or Mom puts it in my mouth). I'm happy I can still find the doggy door to go outside by myself though.
ReplyDeleteIt's very challenging when you're dealing with bladder issues. :( Momma sends Lady her sympathies. She's still trying to fully housetrain Jessie!

ReplyDeleteWe hope once you get off the steroids you feel better.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Lady does, too. Last one today but I have to now skip a day, and then skip 2 days... Lady leaves on the night of the 23. Not sure where I am staying yet. I don't want to stay at the vet's!
