We're in the process of getting a sunroom...and our backyard is somewhat messy right now. We also haven't been getting any rain....until today! It poured today and it's still raining now. Well, in between downpours I had Murphy go outside to use the bathroom. He did his business, then decided to stroll around a bit all over the mud created by the construction guys. So, he was slipping in it and his feet were covered in mud. I brought him inside, put him in the basement, and threw him in the tub. The water was dark brown when done.
Then I had to clean the floors (obsessive compulsive), and my back went out on me (have had back problems for years)...herniated discs are killing me. So, I'm in bed right now watching tv, and "dirty feet" is right by me. Wish he could go downstairs and get my soda!
Sorry this is so long, but I'm bored.

You are so funny, I will mop the floors and within one trip outside they get ruined!!!
Have you tried acupuncture for your back yet?? It sure helped Lee.

I've never had acupuncture, but I need surgery for 2 herniated discs. I just don't want surgery, until it's too bad. I just take mild pain meds right now. Whenever I go to the base hospital, all they want to do is send me to physical therapy. I've done that about 4 times since 2002...didn't help.

I don't clean the floor anymore unless there are 3 or less dogs in my house. I live to go to the acupunture Dr they can fix so much with out cutting a person up. In your case Evelyn they could help at least with pain mangment. Ask Golly he goes twice a week for his eye (lack of eye) it's helped him so much.

Unfortunately the military health care system will always to try to get out the cheap way. One thing I learned over the years is to be somewhat demanding with the doctors. I had the acupunture done about 4-5 years ago and it really helped me. But surgery may be the last option if you really need it. Personally I dont want to be cut on!
