Back in Peggyville


Back to work today. I'm feeling much much better. Yay! Just working on catching up now. Peggy had her doctor visit today. Hope you like Peggy's "Bee in the Flowers" costume for Dr. Davis. Nice job, Hanna! In fact, Dr. Davis told us today that he's pretty sure he hasn't ever seen a costume twice! Here's the update:

Peggy is going to try adding "Aloe juice" to her regime. Aloe juice is good for acid reflux and constipation so we were thinking that it might help with the reflux response that she's been having to the Citrucel. Dr. Davis wants us to call him when we get the Aloe juice and he'll let us know how to work it into her schedule.

Peggy's toenail problem is back again. We need to go back to the cleaning schedule of equal parts saline and hydrogen peroxide every 4 hours or so. We still haven't gotten her to the podiatrist. Too many parties - you know how it is.

Peggy says that she needs elbow pads because her elbows are hurting. Especially her right elbow. She says there is more information about this issue in the ALS caregiver manual. More on this as we find out more...

It is a rainy day here at Peg's. We just heard a crazy scuffling noise in the attic. Peggy says it is the Big White Cat (a neighborhood stray) chasing rats in the attic. Cola and Jack are snoozing on Peggy right now. Eric from HCA told us that Bug has been coming in to sleep on Peggy's bed at night again. Hooray! When he comes in at night, the other 2 cats sleep on chairs - they know who's Alpha Cat around here.
