I was starting to think that I didn’t have too much to tell y’all from the last few days. Not too much excitement in my life. I’ve been home for the last day and a half, due to worse than normal weakness and fatigue. I’m hoping tomorrow isn’t the same. Anyway, I felt like such a useless lump, since I wasn’t even able to read or concentrate on anything while in bed today. That all changed when I opened the door to the balcony. Abby ran out, followed by Mya. I almost had a heart attack when I noticed Abby run up to a great big bee. I tried to reach her before she got to the bee, but I didn’t make it. She put her face up to it and quickly jerked her head back. I knew she was stung. She ran in the apartment and I quickly grabbed Mya and ran after her, closing the balcony door behind me. Abby ran under the bed. It took me over five minutes, but I finally got her out. Her upper lip was so swollen! I grabbed a blanket, wrapped her up, got my purse and keys and left the apartment. Fortunately, the vet’s office is only about a block away. Considering how weak I’ve been, I’m surprised I was able to run most of the way. They took her in right away and gave her a steroid shot. The swelling went down within minutes. We were there for about an hour, before calmly walking back home. I think I should change the spelling of her name to Abee!
I took a picture of the bee…I should have taken one of Abby’s swollen, cute, little face, but that wasn’t my concern at the time:
As you can see, she’s back to her cute, googly self!
Today’s symptoms: Very weak and fatigued. Blah. I hope it’s better tomorrow!
