Off Topic..Dog Bite

View More Posts Ignore
Sorry I haven't been around lately. June 26 I broke up a dog fight, and ended up with several bites to my hand. They were fighting over food. Luckly, they both had their rabies shots. I went to the doctor Friday, and was put on antibotics (4). I had to go back on Saturday, and my BP was 54/46!! The doctor called an ambulance, and for two day I was pumped with IV antibotics!! Still feel rough, and waiting on the blood culture results. Anyway....pray for me, and I hope to be back soon!!
Love, Becky
P.S. Happy 4th of July

" You guys and gals are the best! My doctor called today and the blood cultures were negative. So that was good news!!!

Now as to Alaska...I'll be ready. Only thing, someone needs to keep track of my debit and credit cards! I lost one today and had to cancel it. It just happened to be the one I had my rent money in! I can get a new debit card Monday...where is my mind??? Also, I'm really upset that Sarah Palin has stepped down as the Gov. of Alaska. I really admire her. But maybe she will now have time to visit us.

Well, I'm heading back to bed, so hopefully I will be up to visiting with all you tomorrow!

Love, Becky "
