Still alive, or something resembling the living.
Well here is a recap of the last several weeks, as best as my memory will allow. Some of you may have known I haven't been feeling very well for quite some time, weekly fevers, severe head aches and muscle aches. Not wanting to visit a doctor cause I didn't have the money to do so, I just put up with the crap but it finally caught up with me.
I woke up on the 16th feeling incredibly ill with a mild temperature so I went to the doc finally, when I got there I had a temp of 102 deg. they did a bunch of tests and told me they would call with the results. Tried to drive home, but couldn't keep the truck on the road, so I went to my parents house (20 min. drive vs. 1.5 hr drive)when I got there my temp had jumped to 108 deg. and stayed there from about 4:00pm on the 16th to around 11:00pm on the 17th.
Since I wasn't able to drive I had my little brother go pick up my 2 puppies along with their 2 litter mates and their mother from my house (which belongs to a friend of mine which I have been taking care of for around the last three months). Some time during the 18th the mother escaped the enclosure she was in and went across the street to chase the neighbors horses, with the pups in tow. This caused the neighbors to call the sheriff, so they could find the owner of the dogs, to which they came to me. Of course I didn't know they were out of the pen when the sheriff showed up. I admitted to owning the dogs which meant the sheriff then had to bitch me out for not having them penned up and threatened to have them destroyed if it happened again. I then had to go out in the rain and round up the dogs from the neighbors field, still feeling very ill and weak from not eating any thing for the last 48+ hours.
That episode with the dogs was the final straw and I decided to return the mother to her owner, at the end of the week. Later that evening I had to go back to the doctor for more test, cause they still didn't know what was wrong with me. Around noon of the 19th the doc finally called and told me I had a viral prostate infection which was causing all my illness but wasn't able to tell me what caused it, he then gave me a prescription to help fix it to the tune of just over $300 for the tests and drugs, plus the loss of a weeks worth of wages around $600.
The end of the week the 20th was now at hand, I finally got help to take down the kennel at my house so it could be returned with the dog. It was getting pretty late when I got down to my friends house to return the dog and kennel, which pretty much pissed my friend off and he never even came out of the house, his mate came out and helped unload it but wasn't happy about it at all. I then decided to go out hunting on the 21st, which was a bad idea I felt like hell the next day. I had to put up a new kennel type thing by my self that day to keep my puppies and the other two pups in, which didn't help me to feel any better.
I had to work the next week on top of it all, due to my taking the previous week off work the mechanic shop I work for had fallen severely behind, so I had to work 12 hours a days mon-thurs, 14 hours on friday and 6 hours today. I am totally tired now, but at least the drugs I have been taking seem to be knocking out the infection.
So I have had it for now!
