Hi Everybody!

Gus, I am so grateful for your good neighbors helping you! I can't imagine snow up to my shoulders! Brrrrrrr. Stay safe and warm!

I took Belle to the vet yesterday. A huge brindle Cur and Pit Bull mixed came out of a room and decided it wanted to attack Belle. Belle wanted to play with it until it started trying to attack. Belle got between me and the dog, showed her fangs and uttered this feral growl! The idiot dog's idiot owner thought it was funny, until he had to start yanking his dog backwards and couldn't do it. They literally dragged Belle into a room and slammed the door. I started to throw a fit on the man. I haven't thrown a classic one in over ten years, but I decided he was too ignorant to learn anything from it. Oh, if Belle or I had been hurt though, it would have been a different story.

Belle's tracheal tube is swollen and inflamed. It's so bad I can't lead her by her collar. She can only have her dog food and water. Then in one month, we'll try a different protein in the dog food, etc for three months until or if we see improvements. Then we'll try environmental factors. If nothing works, she'll have to be on a monthly allergy shot forever. She got a big prednizone shot and she has to take 5 mg. of Zyrtec a day.

Belle can't have any treats or any little bites from my food. She cries and asks for them and I feel so guilty for not giving them to her...

Yesterday was my birthday! Except for the fight at the vet's office, it was a wonderful day!

I went to the eye Dr. today. My eyes are infected again. He gave me the antibiotics to use in them. My eyes are also inflamed. So, I have the drops for that.

I could barely walk today. I am in a lot of pain. I am going to go ahead and agree to be sent to a pain specialist. I can't function on tylenol and placquinil. I go for an MRI on my back on the 7th. I don't see the Rhuemy until March, but I don't know if I can hold out that long.

My other really urgent health problem is a little better, but not much. I don't know what the Gastro is going to do to me. It is a life threatening issue.

The heart specialist hasn't called yet, so that must mean he didn't find anything immediately life threatening on my tests. So, that's a good point.

I love you all!
