Not So Pretty in Pink

Much to my chagrin, Mary somehow picked up my pink eye. Her ear is also doing some strange draining, but the doctor said it was fine. (I still can't hear right out of my left ear.) It was actually good in an odd way that she got the pink eye and ear problem because she'd been coughing a lot and acting strange in a way that made Jo and I both think she had a UTI--sleeping a lot, talking in her sleep a lot, incontinence, increased shakiness, decreased mobility, decreased appetite... It all forced me to get my rear in gear and take her to the doctor. We got to see the clutie-patutie, as Jo would say, Dr Lemon. He gave her a prescription for an antibiotic and eye drops. I used the nebulizer twice on her and that seemed to help the cough. We had sunny weather today and that does what no medicine can.

I got an email from J earlier this week, so he is still interested. I've had a lot of fun emailing with him--he's very clever with words and has the sort of sense of humor that I appreciate--silly yet intellectual at the same time.

It's after 11PM and Mary's just dozing in her chair, so I should put her to bed. Rudi is in my lap in front of my laptop with his nose tucked under one of my arms, which makes it difficult to write anyway. The dogs would be happiest if we went to bed around 10PM :-)
