This morning started with a positive note as Pandora, (Dorie), was able to wake me with her happy kisses and tail wagging while keeping her balance on the bed, a first in a little over a month. It made my day let me tell you and she seems better, less falling down and her ears are up and her face happy again. I feel like all the prayers have been heard and she is moving in the right direction and I am so thankful, also thankful to everyone who held a good thought and prayer for her, it is working. i am still not hungry but forced myself to have whole wheat toast, scrambled egg with 2 egg whites added and 1 cup fresh pineapple as well. I am not allowed to drink with my meals or within 2 hours the each side, today I cheated a bit and had coffee, also a No No. I will not do it again, back to herbal teas. I am also weaning off my pain medications, I am half way there now, yet this last step-down was a real dozy. My next cut is today, but I can and will hold off till this weekend as I am going to go into the office tomorrow, yes am taking Pandora. I have chosen to stop taking the Tramadol for pain, my old Dr has had me on it for almost 4 years. I talked it over with my new Dr and he agreed it may be the cause of my heart palpitations, yet will still see a cardiologist for a test. i am now able to walk a mile on my own and have been out of my scooter for over a month. I am making progress.
