Sick on My Birthday

A Gift to Myself

Today is my birthday. I am 51 years old. Unfortunately, I have a cold. Nothing serious, but being sick annoys me. Not sure if I will be going to group later this afternoon. Do not want to get anyone else sick and want to heal myself. Last night our son said that he, too, felt he was coming down with a cold.

This afternoon I will be taking Thumper our Labradoodle to the veterinarian to have this bandages changed. He had surgery Friday on a tumor on his paw. We first noticed the growth Thursday night for Thumper was bleeding, so we took him in Friday morning. His veterinarian said that tumor had broken through the skin and thought it might be melanoma. We are awaiting biopsy results. Thumper seems quite happy now that the growth has been removed.

    He is, at least when he isn’t barking up a storm.

    Thank you. Just a common cold. Feel worst when I lie down because off congestion.

    So sorry to hear. Thumper came from a breeder in Oregon who loved her labradoodles. We went to check out his younger cousins, but Thumper chose my son by going up to him and playing with him.

    Yeah my mom’s came from a run-down puppy mill in like.. Wisconsin or something (I’m sure that’s wrong, but it was a W or M state.. now I’m leaning more towards M). He was abused and treated poorly and a mess when they got him, but now hes our lovable doof.

    Thank you so much. It’s just a common cold and it seems to be going around.

    My son and husband brought me red roses and See’s dark chocolates. We will head out for dinner soon.

    I hope wisdom starts now, because I thought I’d be much wiser by this age. Still just figuring things out. 🙂

    Thank you for wishing me well.

    1. I am feeling better, just not 100%.
    2. My big guy is actually quite regal and of above-average intelligence. 🙂 That may be because he is only 1/4 labrador retriever and 3/4 standard poodle. Our 100% standard poodle puts him to shame when it comes to intelligence and mischeviousness.

    I did enjoy sleeping in. My son is doing as much sleeping in as he can before the school year begins. He’ll be a freshman in high school! Thumper got a clean bill of health at the veterinarian’s office this afternoon. He’s healing and the biopsy was negative (benigh). I’m doing better than I was this morning. Just an end of summer cold.

    Thank you. The healing hugs are helping, for sure. Thumper’s foot is on the mend, as am I.

    Thank you. He got a good bill of health. He is healing nicely and his growth was benign. Now he’s sporting a bright green bandage which will be brown in no time. He loves to dig and bury his toys.

    Thank you so much! I’m still sick, but feel a little better now. I noticed that many staff members at the veterinarian’s office were coughing and sniffling.

    1. Hope you feel better!
    2. I feel like I should have known you had a labradoodle! My mom has one (only black) and he is the biggest, goofiest, dumbest, happiest dog I have ever met.

    Oh, Kitt, happy birthday! I pray you’re feeling better very soon. What a lousy way to spend your birthday. On the other hand, snuggling in bed with Thumper and the boy watching your favorite video sounds like a perfect birthday to me! 😉 xoxo
