Florence Nightingdogs

Early last week, I was hit with my first cold of the season. 


"Southwest style" ceramic tile is so flattering to pit bulls
An interesting aside, it seemed I was getting sick all the time my first three years in this house, before we replaced the "Marmoleum" floor in our kitchen with ceramic tile. Yes, it's really called Marmoleum and it's supposedly eco-friendly as its made of recycled and natural ingredients, but I also happen to think it was moldy and laid down with nasty glue that made us constantly allergic. 


This little cold last week was shorter in duration and intensity than what I used to get, perhaps in part because I had the highest quality home health care you could ask for. 


Nurse Fozzie's bedside manner cannot be beat. 


Not content to just check in on his patient, he basically lay on top of me for the better part of the afternoon to ensure I stayed warm. 
Dr. Sandy meanwhile made sure all the equipment was in order. She did get a  little bit distracted by the humidifier.




In fact, this was the longest she's ever stayed in one place except when she's asleep. 


I'm sure she was just making extra sure it was working.


Meanwhile, Hospital Administrator Lamar was the highly qualified bureaucrat, standing sentry in the living room to make sure I wasn't bothered by any unwanted visitors.  

With this sort of medical team in place, it's no wonder I was all better in just a few short days.

  6. I'd rather have doggies visiting me too when I'm not well. It makes you feel better even when you're not. I hope you get well soon.

  10. When one doesn't feel well, there's nothing like a herd of critters to make things better. The only drawback (if it can be considered a drawback) is that it's difficult to sleep with a critter stretched out on top of you.
