The Zometa infusion on Thursday evening went OK. Dirk was with me this time, which made it less daunting. Not much to report, other than one attempt at the needle resulted in a burst vein, so had to find another one and start again. But I have my impression of a pin-cushion down pat these days so not a problem. Infused, flushed and we were out. Straight home to change for the SPCC Night of Nights !! It was (as always) more fun because of the people there, more than the actual event. Had a good catch up with the girls(and guys) and watched the awards being presented. Dirk also won an award for his work around the club. Well deserved I thought. All in all a good night with quite a few laughs Home at midnight, popped my pills and off to bed.Friday was not as good as it could have been for me. Although I definitely didn't get the same flu type feelings of the last Zometa infusion, I still had a few of the side effects. Mostly it was complete exhaustion and a slight feeling of flu. Most of the day I slept or was horizontal on the couch. Dirk made some Hot Cross Buns - which were delicious - and by 4pm he was off to bed for a nana nap. I decided to catch up with some episodes of Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model (LOVE) wrapped up in my blanket. I was just about to drift off when I got a sloppy and sticky(?) kiss from Maverick !! At first I didn't think much of it - sloppy kisses are a common thing - but the stickiness of this one made me wonder..... what had he been into.... then it dawned on me...... the Hot Cross Buns !!! The little bugger had jumped up and grabbed the remaining eight (yes 8 ) buns and eaten them..... and they contained sultana's and raisin's. (Sultana's are poisonous to dogs) I immediately woke Dirk, we called the emergency vet hospital and they told us to go straight in. They then took Mavvy away and gave him an injection to make him sick, then another one to calm his stomach and then some charcoal to absorb any left over toxins.... We heard afterwards that he had been entertaining the staff and enjoying himself at the hospital. And when we got the report back explaining what they had done, it also had a note saying "Maverick appears to be in excellent health and has a sensational personality" Somehow I don't think the experience was bad enough for him !! I'm thinking he may not have learned his lesson !!! Little bugger !!! He's right as rain today and has already eaten another cushion from outside... grrrrr.....
When I woke up this morning, for the first time in ages I felt quite good. I didn't have that drained feeling. It was such a refreshing feeling. I couldn't remember the last time I woke up feeling like this.... it's been months ! So I got up, made coffee and returned to the sack to enjoy. (no dirty thoughts here thank you!) We decided to hit the shops and stockpile for Easter. With the shops being closed for two whole days it's very important to make sure we don't starve !! We bought lots of chocolate (mmm) Dirk also managed to score some new clothes and shoes (I know !! him not me !! WTF!!) ...... but ... as it was Cyclo day, by 3pm the drugs have hit me again. I now feel anxious, buzzy and chemically again. The good feeling didn't last long enough :-( But tomorrow's another day.......
