Now, I know the title of this post made a lot of you happy! Aw, heck, I'm sure it made ALL of you happy! But, it's the truth, I'm feeling better. Not my 100% Crazy Corbin better, but feeling better sure is better than feeling worse, even if it's just a little bit better.
|
Can you believe it? |
My heart medicines have seemed to kick in really quickly and help me out a lot. I've been sleeping better, more alert and all around more comfortable. The momma even caught me snoozing ON the bed this morning while she was getting ready for work. I haven't been willing to jump on her bed in a long time.
|
Lady, go away, I'm snoozin' |
The momma had to go out and buy me a new pill box to hold all my new stuff. The little box on the left is my old pill box, my new one is on the right. It's broken out by day, then by AM and PM.
|
Mom, there's still a little bit of room in here, can we fill it with treats? |
Now, I went in to see Dr. Mike again last night. He said my heart sounds very good, and he doesn't think my physical big heart will last forever. Although, he knows very well that my figurative big heart will definitely stay with me forever! He and mom decided that I'm going to slowly start coming off of the prednisone. I get to go back to see Dr. Mike next week. At the moment, we're going to leave my bumpie alone... it's in a spot that will be difficult to heal, and the prednisone will slow down my healing process even more. So, Dr. Mike will check my bumpie every week, and if it's still around when I'm off of the prednisone, Dr. Mike might take it from me. BUT, if my bumpie starts causing some issues before I'm off of the prednisone, he's going to steal it sooner.
|
Mom, do you think my bumpie will behave? |
THAT, my friends, is the plan. And, I'm A-OK with that plan because I'm feeling better already! And he gave me the OK to do little walkies, so I'm excited for that! AND he told mom that I can see how I do swimming when the time comes! So, I'm super excited to start getting back to a somewhat normal routine... and super excited that I'll get to make it to the lake this summer!
|
Dreamin' of the lake! |
So, in the mean time, I'm ging to enjoy my walkies, take lots of snoozes, eat up all my food, take all my medicines and keep feeling better! Feels good to feel good! Hopefully my feel goods will last forever and not just be temporary!
Yay! So glad you are feeling better - and it sounds like you've got things under control. I mean, swimming? Dude! That's awesome!

From one big-hearted doggie to another, I am glad you are feeling better! I have an enlarged heart, too, and you are right the medicine works super fast. My big heart is from a murmur and issue with one my valves, but I don't let it slow me down one bit!

ReplyDeleteCORBIN!!! I am dancing all around for you. I hope you get better and better and better. I think sometimes the medicines they give you to get well make other parts sicky. Thats what my Mommy says anyway cause my Dad has lots of health problems. I am so happy for you, but please take it easy, you don't want to push it. I am sending you hugs via magic bubbles, I hope you get them soon.
