Extremely Urgent Phred Needs Our Prayers

[gini]

Phred, I hope you are feeling better and have someone to have Thanksgiving dinner with or at the very least, bring it to you!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
It will be lots happier for all of us now you are on the mend!

I could not have expressed this in a better way.
It is indeed a Happy Thanksgiving for many reasons - but foremost is that Phred is home with the critters and getting better each day. We all give thanks for this.

We're still alive & kickin!

Not kickin very high - but functional.
Chased the Doc again yesterday ... squalked about the NO sleep problemo.
Doc's Secretary called back: "Take 50 mg Benadryl."

I've taken 25 mg Benadryl for bee stings (very alergic to them kritters!) and
one tablet knocks me out!
Took 25 mg last night ... sorta helped - I actually SLEPT in the BigBed for a few hours!

Down side is the effect last about 12 hours = sluggish all day.
Took another Beny about an hour ago ... starting to "fade" ... BigBed tyme soon!

Turkey Day?
I've had a couple offers - I asked that we just *skip it* this year -
I just do NOT feel like "socializing" right now!
Between what I suspect is a Hoppsbittle-sourced cold (little stuffed up + koffin)
and my general run-down / no energy condition - I'm happy just *chillin*
with the FurKids and stayin Home!

THANKS again for all the Kind Thoughts, Purrayers, and notes being sent my way!!

I'll check in after the Peerade tomorrow.

{{{Hugs}}} to y'all!!

Happy Thanksgiving Phred to you and yours!! Chilling out sounds like a good idea. I'm a certified insomniac so I feel your pain. Nothing really helps me sleep except for just forgetting that I have a problem and then I usually sleep well about every 4th day. What can we do? I figure we go with the flow and hope for the best. Take it easy and enjoy your day.

Thinking about you today, Phred and wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving. Please make sure you are resting up and healing. I'm sending out lots of hugs for you and your furbabies.

Turkey Day?
I'm happy just *chillin*
with the FurKids and stayin Home!

Oh, I know that feeling well. Hope that someone thinks about bringing you a bit of the *left-overs*. Don't forget to check in with us as *no news* sends us worry warts into overdrive.

Happy 'Chillin, Phred!

Dearest Phred,

When Staci texted me that night you were in ICU, I was worried sick. I had many horrible dreams... I went to church with grandma that morning and I prayed A LOT to God and asked Grandma too! I put you on the prayer request cards and have prayed and thought about you since.

I'm SO happy to see you home and on the mend. The sleep thing I can identify with...when you're a patient, your sleeping hours flip and you become somewhat nocturnal. Keep with the Benadryl at regular bed time hours and you'll be fine.

Just wanted to check up on you. I'm going to email you about some stuff, my dear. Keep on getting better.

Love,
Kelly xoxoxoxox

Phred-
Hope you and the Pups... an Kat... have a nice relaxing holiday.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Hey Phred, how're you doing these days? Haven't heard much from you over the holidays, and I really don't like the tone of your last post. Depression is common after an experience like yours, and I hate the idea that you might be suffering such a bout and not reaching out as much as you might otherwise. I hope some of your friends that live closer made sure you had company over the last few days.

Please check in and let us know how you're doing, even if you're feeling down so we can cheer you up.

Hope all is well!

Hey Phred, how're you doing these days?

Depression is common after an experience like yours, and
I hate the idea that you might be suffering such a bout and
not reaching out as much as you might otherwise.

Phred's doin OK!!

I'm really not "depressed" - just uppyset that I don't feel "better" yet!

Feeling "tired" is upsetting - but everyone keeps telling me it's "normal"
and will start to pass ... sooner would be better!

The local Fire Family has been "droppin by" evey day - bearing FOOD and company!
I've had "home cooked" for dinner every night - one more Turkey, mashed taters
and green beans in the fridge - and a promise from Unka Pat & Miz Joan of
"lots" more Turkey & Fixins just down the street!
Brian & Tami brought 3 months worth of breakfasts & snacks -
Tangerines, Pears, fruit & nut Trail Mix bars, and Brian's favorite -
Instant Oatmeals! (Oatmeal *looks GROSS* - but tastes GOOOD!!)

Today was almost HOT (55+) - so the FurKids & I took a bus trip to the BigLake Park.
We made two stops and took two "hikes" - prolly put in almost a mile!
Wasn't the "speediest" walk we ever took - but I lived through it!

Tomorrow is supposed to be 60+ ~ We'll go Hikin again even if it rains!

THANKS, Deb and ALL of you PTers, for all the "Worries" -
but try not to "worrry" too much -
I'm gonna be A-OK with a lil luck and a few more Purrayers.

It's REALLY nice to know I've got so many Good Friends!!

If I know one thing then it is how impatient you become after the first shock is through and you know you survived.

Take it easy. It will work in its own time - and unfortunately not any earlier

Those hikes sound good. Every day five minutes more- it will be fun for doggies too.

Your food supply sounds purrfect. Enjoy it
