More Prattle from Povey

Cooper on the left.  Gustie on the right. Gustie is fifteen years old and very weary, He belongs to my friend Fred and his wife Diana.  They are in post hurricane digs in Bradenton; their Longboat Key home having been damaged by the Hurricanes.  I visited them this afternoon. What fun. To our delight the ancient Gustie and the youthful Cooper had a ball.   T hey wrestled and played indoors for more than half an hour.   Fred and Diana could hardly believe their eyes.  They'd never in fifteen years seen Gustie have such fun. I was proud of my dearest C as he minded his manners.  He knew that Gusty was in charge.

                                                         YESTERDAY An injection of Cortisone to alleviate the severe pain caused by Sacroiliitis.  In and out of the clinic in 45 minutes.  The Doctor asserts that these injections may have to be more frequent than I would wish, given some of the side effects of Cortisone.   I'll have a checkup in two weeks at which I will raise the possibility of Physical Therapy as a preventative.             Please, no suggestions unless you are an Orthopedist.                                                         DINNER TODAY    Fine Italian made Rigatoni with Chili  (and a bit of cheese)

  He is a thirteen years old Greyhound. Old and tired. He wanders around a bit, bit is not up to romps with Cooper. Buddy sometimes strolls over to me for a nose rub.

 I am very fortunate

  I've rigged this up so that Mr. C can sit in the front passenger seat to enjoy the view; and to prevent him from wandering around as we drive out and about.
