Thistle teenage kicks right through the night

It has been a crazy couple of weeks.

We went on the Spider Murphy's shop camping/ canoe trip. It was super mega fun! But I drank way too much and didn't eat or drink enough water, and on July 3rd I found myself with a fever and pain in my side. 13 hours at the hospital, a CT scan, an ultrasound, and an IV later, and it turns out I had a kidney infection. They didn't really say how I got it - I assure you I wasn't having wild sex or holding my pee for too long or whatever normally gives people kidney infections. It was pretty weird. The doctors thought it was appendicitis which was scary because I would have had to have emergency surgery. But, it was a kidney infection.

So, 10 days of antibiotics, no alcohol, and extremely limited caffeine. Since coffee is my reason for living that part has sucked. But I will be all better soon.

In more positive news Paul Dobleman started a massive tattoo of two fighting gamecocks on my thigh. I will post pictures when it's finished.

And in the best news of all, we are fostering a teeny chihuahua named Lola. She is so cute and sweet and goofy. It will be hard to give her up when we find her a home. zoom image

That part when you have an infection and get the bad flu-like symptoms, it can be unsettling, as you remember the Jim Henson story. An insignificant scratch on my ear followed by cellulitis a week or two later sure got my ass to the hospital in a hurry a few years back. Glad you're doing better!

Funny how cocktails, beer and wine don't quite qualify as food & water. Bummer you came ill but great that you'll be fine soonest, and you have impossible cuteness to keep you company while you heal.

Glad to hear that your recovery is going nicely.

Yeah, "extremely limited caffeine" sounds rough all right. But it'll be back to normal soon, it sounds like.

Glad you are on your way to feeling top notch again. Lola is so cute! Have you fostered before? At my work we have a lot of "foster fails," where the foster parent just couldn't let go and decided to adopt smile

I originally was looking for a job dealing with dogs, but ended up at a stray cat shelter smile I don't think I could be a foster parent right now. Ones that need bottle-fed are so much work!
