Muddling Through

Still sick. Stayed home yesterday, and would love to be home today, but need to be at work. Tigger is also sick - he got a flea bite, had an allergic reaction to it, and chewed at it until it became infected. He had several irritations on him, but the worst one was on his back, right above his tail. They had to shave that patch, which is about 3 inches by 3 inches. He is very embarrassed by it. He is also taking Prednisone and an antibiotic. The skin looked much better today, but he's still not quite himself. Yesterday all he did was sleep, right next to me. His skin hurt too much for him to walk much so I had to carry him outside, or to the kitchen or put him on the bed with me if he got down. Poor little scout - he's so brave and good! But I really missed Mama yesterday - being sick and fatigued, and having no clean pots or pans nor any soup to make in them, and no money to order any delivery food, and taking care of the dog.. I needed someone to bring ME food and medicine, and go out for candy bars and magazines and keep the house somewhat straightened.
