Well, its happened again.  The day started before I was ready.  I guess that when you don't pay attention, things can sneak up on you.  Wednesday was an eventful day.  As I mentioned in yesterday's meanderings, I took Sugar to her doctor.  The first visit went well.  Her weight was perfect as was her overall health.  She had her shots, the bill was north of $300.00 and she is good for another year, or at least so I thought.  By early afternoon, it was obvious that Sugar was having a bad reaction to the shots.  She was groggy, limping, and I felt like I had done her wrong.  I called the doctor's office and told them what was happening.  I was asked to return Sugar to their office for observation.  She was feeling better when we got there, but they still decided that she needed some Benadril and to be kept for a few hours of observation,  Meanwhile, I had a doctor's appointment of my own.  Got there in time with the help of Mary, had the x-rays of my feet and knees and I was off to the orthopedic doctor.  Got good news there.  Yes, my feet are old, but still functional.  Yes, my knees are old, but nothing is structurally wrong.  What I have is wear and tear of daily life for 60 years.  But, I will be getting shots for a few weeks to build up the good fluid in my knees.  I also got a referral to the orthotics  provider for some better shoes.  That comes up on Friday.  So, I would have to say that yesterday was a split decision.  I got good news and excellent treatment by Dr. Rick Baszler and the entire staff at Grand Haven Bone and Joint.   Sugar got excellent care from Dr. Bytwerk and the staff at Haven Animal Hospital.  Very caring people and now that the crisis has passed, Sugar is feeling much better today.  Well, I guess it is time to get on with life here in GH.  I'm retired and I feel as though I never have enough time.  What a city.
