Yorkie of the day - I nominate my wee soul-mate Tara as Yorkie of the day
I have a life shortening syndrome which brings me so much pain you would not believe
and today was a very bad day !
I was rocking on all fours on the floor, pouring in sweat, freezing cold and shivering, crying with the pain and needing morphine - if only ! - for the pain, it was
that bad ! I have a fear of being sick and apart from 9 months of sickness 17 years ago carrying my daughter, I have only ever been sick after being on the operating table countless times, and then I am usually well out of it ! .....today I was sick at least 10 times as the pain was that unbearable it made me sick......
Who was right at my side all through this...TARA, "nurse Tara York" as we call her !
She sat beside me, licking my hand and nose, and looked up at me with huge concerned eyes.
She never left me once.
She is my angel
and is sooo special to me you would not believe. She has stopped me taking my wee Mini off the Kessock bridge here in Inverness, Scotland - many a time.....
I couldn't leave her ! So Tara, this is my thankyou to you wee poppet, and thankyou soooo much !
I am feeling sore tonight, and just hoping it isn't a bowel rupture, as that is a favourate ending for us with this rare condition - EDS if you were wondering !
Sorry if this post is depressing - it's not meant to be - I am quite "up" at the moment, and I will get through it - as usual, hee hee.
Tara keeps coming over to check on me, and sits with me for a while, sees I'm ok, and goes back to her bed until a few minutes later. How cute and wise is that !
Next thread I put up will be a funny one, promise !!!
....see, I'm laughing already !
