Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts!!!!! It has been an bad few days.

We both have rallied enough to get online and everything had to update on my computer, from Windows Updates to Adobe to Norton and Photoscape. Been offline a day or 2 and everything is waiting in line to download, restart 3 times.

We got Guinness' gifts opened and played with some and Tibbe is back asleep. I have just downloaded all the pictures, had to download an update to PhotoScape and then retouch a couple of the pix(I'm new and very slow at working in PhotoScape and am going to post a new thread about the wonderful and funny gifts - funny to watch Tibbe with them!

Tibbe is much, much better today. He was better yesterday but still not playing much and only "acked" twice. I had picked him up and held him so much I guess over the weekend and Monday, I irritated whatever I did to my sternochondral joints and then was shaking out the couch pillows yesterday morning, got a severe pain there in the chest - owwweeee. Just couldn't stop the pain so I went on to the doctor, he gave me a script for Tramadol and ordered a CT of the chest so ugh!!! Could barely get in and out of the big truck to drive there and back. Hated leaving Tibbe to go but ice, heat, and regular pain medicine weren't helping. Anyway, he must have been okay that 1 - 1 1/2 hours I was gone because I found no vomit or anything and he settled nicely once I was down on the couch again with him and no "acking", hacking, coughing or anything but then last night he had a mini-panic attack from a noise on TV. He can get really weird when he's taking medicine or feel sicks, reverts back to his old "wild" ways at times. But we worked through it and he settled again.

I guess it must have been an irritated trach or something like that as he's no longer making the throat noises or anything after being on the Clavamox, Famotidine. He seems almost back to normal. He ate voraciously last night late, drank a lot of water, ate breakfast today and did well with his gift package opening, even playing with his new Guinness'/Alisha's gifts. I did put them away after 15 mins. as I didn't want him to overdo it and put him back on the couch and it is time for his Clavamox and Famotidine. I will give him those, rest a bit from working on this darn computer and holding my arms forward typing hurts this stupid chest thing so let me rest the area a bit. Then I want to post a new thread in just a bit about his wonderful Christmas gifts from Guinness and sweet Alisha(GuinnessStout)!!! Can't wait to share the pictures and wish I could share the laughter and some of the looks on Tibbe's face from them with you! I would give anything for a zoom and faster cam so I could get those when the toys "spoke"!!!!!!!!
