My week in a nut shell...doctors and veterinarians...repeat.
AL is doing very well. He had two doctor appointments this week. The first one was to our new Primary Care Physician, Dr. Dunevant, who is in the same office that Dr. Doner was. It was a little hard to walk into that office and know that Dr. Doner was no longer there. Dr.Dunevant was so kind to take us on as he is taking no new patients, but out of the kindness of his heart he took us. He is a nice man and I think we will be happy with him. He can't replace Dr. Doner, however, I think we have found a good doctor who will do what is right for us. He wanted to see AL to meet him and to get a short history of what had happened in the last month. He said he was going to read the tome that is AL's medical records and we are to see him again next week. That was on Tuesday.
Wednesday I decided to play ball with Beau and Schuster in the afternoon. Beau chased one ball and ran right into a cactus. He came back full of cactus quills...in his mouth, nose, face, paws etc. I spent about an hour trying to get them all out, but after pulling about 100 of them, I gave up and took him to the emergency vet. (Let me tell you, I am quite tired of Emergency Rooms.) They pulled out over 150 more quills. Poor dog, and he didn't utter a word of protest or whine about being hurt. All he wanted to do was play more ball!!!!
Thursday AL had an appointment with the orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Martin. He is such a good doctor and we feel very fortunate to have him. He said Al was doing great, better than he expected and he doesn't want to see him for a month!!! YEAH. After we got done there we had lunch with Jude and Roger and Pat and Patti Voss to celebrate Pat's 62nd birthday. I always like to give him grief about being "older" than I am!!!
Friday I took both dogs to the vet for rabies shots. By now I am sick and tired of any doctors office, human or animal. As usual, when we arrived at the vet we had a greeting committee...they all love Schuster and Beau and treat them like kings!
Today we decided to go for a ride and get out of the house for a bit (and not to a doctor's office) so we went across town to a craft show where Suzi Waddick had her booth set up. It has been so windy the last few days I wasn't sure she was going to set up, but today was a bit calmer. We had a great lunch at a Greek Restaurant and we both had Shwarma's....a sandwich we used to enjoy when we were in Saudi. YUM! And the best part is that these were just like the ones we had in Saudi...finally, someone knows how to make them. WE will go back to this place!
That is pretty much what our week has been like...hope yours has been good as well.
