Doggie trapped a rabbit against the fence last night about 9:00 pm.  The back yard is not lit that far back so here is me, grabbing a 70 lb. doggie by the collar and she decides to change directions abruptly.  Of course, she took me down.  Then, I got up and started walking back to the house.  Uneven part of the lawn and down I went again.  This time into the pile she must have left before she trapped the rabbit.  Yuck.  I laughed all the way to the shower.  I was glad it was dark as I was in my jammies, robe and slippers.  No witnesses.  Kathy

I guess at this time I'm still the lucky one.  Waiting patiently for my surgery (january) I just have now to tolerate the dizzyness that I feel when I get up from my dest at work, turn the corner of the hall to my office, or try to move quickly through the ER that I work in, erither as an Admin or as a nurse.  Have come close to falling at work a couple of times, haven't hit the floor yet.
The handrails at home upstairs to my bedroom have gotten more use in the last 2 months, than in the last 4 years.  I still get dizzy driving when I turn my head quickly.
Gee.  With all of this pre-op, I can hardly wait.............

Yuck!! .. reminds me of the time about 6-7 years ago .. I went outside to turn off some Christmas lights .. and UNKNOWN to me I stepped in doggie poo  >:( .. and went BACK inside, and walked around in all the rooms in the house turning off lights and closing drapes as I went getting ready for bed .. until I was interrupted by my wife SCREAMING (at me!  ::) ) that there was my foot prints all over the house!!!  ...(I now take off my shoes off at the door  :o )
