So sorry my friends that I have not been around much this week.
Last Sunday when we were in church George began to feel cold – it was cold anyway because of the boilers has broken down – we dashed home right after the service and George went straight to bed.
He stayed in bed until Friday – has had a recurrence of a kidney infection. He is now on antibiotics but not at all himself. So I have been nurse, carer, shopper, head-cook and bottle-washer all week!!!!
He must have felt really poorly because he doesn`t do nothing slowly anywhere as near as well as I can.

Hope he picks up soon!

Thank you very much – he`s feeling much better today I`ve just got to stop him charging around again too soon – not an easy task!

I can understand that…;-)

I wondered where you were! Men aren’t usually good patients, are they? Sue

George is a pretty good patient – it just grieves me to see him lying there so listless and so off his food (which we normally both so enjoy!)

Hope he’s better now. I think it’s really the convalescence they are not so good at, but plenty of the rest of us aren’t too good at that either! Sue

Missed you, but glad it’s not anything too serious. Kidney infections can be horrible, so it’s good you caught that in time. I’m thinking you get some extra chocolate-filled gold stars this week for working ‘above and beyond’ !

Oh boy – chocolate-filled gold stars are just what I need right now! Yummy. George is over the kidney infection but now waiting for the side-effects from the antibiotics he had to take to wear off.

Thank you so much – missed you too. Hopefully he will be on the mend now – he`s finished the tablets that made him feel so poorly.

Thank you so much – it is so sad to see him just lying there – not eating – not really feeling like doing anything – hope he picks up soon. He`s like a fussy pussycat – I`m trying to tempt him to eat with things he really likes …think I`ll lay off the jellied eels though!!!! (That`s a Londoner`s real treat – I loathe them myself)

Poor guy. I hope he’s up and dancing again soon, and then you can take a nap and recover from the work and worry.

Poor George…I do hope that he will soon make a complete recovery..and poor you..it puts so much more on your shoulders. What happened about the house sit…was it this weekend?

Thank you for your good wishes – the housesit was just Saturday night – we had to find the manor house in the dark in the Essex countryside- it was 2 miles up an unmade, unmarked road – even the locals didn`t know where it was! Felt idiots as we had to phone the owner a couple of times – still lovely house, lovely dogs and nice owner – she wants us back for a longer stay!

Wanted to wish George a speedy recovery so I clicked “like,” but want you to know that I don’t like that he’s sick and that you’re having a rough go of it as well. Take care of yourself, Anne, and praying for healing for George!

Thank you Becky – we did the housesit overnight on Saturday and he insisted that it should go ahead but came back home yesterday evening and went straight to bed – he is still there – poor George 😦

I hoping a bit of time at home after the adventure house sitting will get him squared away quickly.

Thanks – he`s now off the antibiotics which had awful side-effects – necessary as they killed the infection but darned nigh finished him off with them. He insisted on driving home yesterday evening – I kept offering – I have never been so scared in my life – I was a nervous wreck by the time we got home.

Funny how hard it is for some people to give up control of the car. I love driving and am always happy to drive anywhere at any time (and as much as I may complain about my commuter lifestyle and the miles I put on my truck every day just going back and forth to work – I really don’t mind, but shhh don’t tell anyone), but I’m equally as happy to relinquish control if I’m not up to par.

And glad to hear he is off the antibiotics, hopefully that means his mending will commence even quicker.
