Dog is Stroke Victim

I didn't realize that a dog could have a stroke. However, my friend's dog did just that. It happened last night and she gave her dog an aspirin. Then today she took the dog to the Vet and he said that was the best thing she could do. That the dog would be ok. It will lay around for awhile and she has to carry it outside to do its duties, but it will get to walking again. She is eating so that is a good sign too. I am glad my fiend didn't have to put her dog to sleep.

Chills and Fever

Boy was I sick yesterday. The night before I had such chills, I just shook the bed. No matter how much I pulled up the covers, I could not stop shaking. I finally got out of bed and put on my heavy winter fluffy robe and slippers and got back into bed. It took awhile but I finally warmed up and quick shaking. Then when I got up I was warm. My temperature was about 3 degrees above what is normal for me. I just burned up all day with a few chills at noon and then more fever. It got to 100.5 and didn't know what to do. Kept drinking water as they say that will bring down a fever. Anyway, I took 2 coated aspirin and by the time I went to bed I was warm but felt almost normal. Slept pretty good and about 3 am took 2 tylenol. Then when I woke up I was soaking wet with sweat and knew the fever had broken. My husband and I talked about it and he had this about 2 weeks ago. When the weather was 90, he wanted the a/c off and bundled him up in a heavy throw blanket and heat pad. Must be a 24 hour virus like our old doctor used to say. Glad it is over.
