I once
had an allergic reaction to some medication that I was taking following one of
my many surgeries. This was the one when I ate the rock. I told you about that
whole thing in an earlier blog. Anyway, this was a pretty serious deal as I
couldn’t breathe very well and it was really scary. My Mom had luckily taken me
with her to work that day and took me to see the Doctors at Internal Medicine.
They are in the same building that my Mom works in and they usually just pat me
on the head and say hi, but this time, they had to save my life. I am so
important that I was given 2 Doctors. And these aren’t just any Doctors, they
are board certified super specialists of Internal Medicine. This didn’t mean
anything to me at the time, but I now know what good hands I was in. They put
me in the oxygen kennel. Have you ever heard of such a thing? I felt like the
Chihuahua in the plastic bubble. I was there for three days and this was my
second trip to Internal Medicine, so I was like a regular visitor. I was only
snarky when they tried to examine me, or touch me, or take me out of the
kennel. On this visit, they had to figure out what was wrong with me and it was
pretty scary. They even asked people to stop coming to visit me cause I am
pretty popular in the building and all of those people got me excited and that
made my breathing worse. It wasn’t very fun, but I am still here and I thank
Dr. Cannizzo and Dr. Hines for taking such good care of me. I’m glad to be back
to head pats and hi’s!
