MORE THAN PETS by Granny Annie
Madeline had to get out of bed
slowly to avoid any sign
of dizziness. She also wanted to rid her mouth of that horrible
metallic taste. Two large dogs seemed to
be in agreement for slowing her down. They helped support the
reality of the situation appearing in
front of Madeline in a flash .
It was their job to keep
her from rising too quickly.
Was it possible tomorrow
could be a better day? She smiled artificially
at her sweet pups
and the way they protested
her movements. Madeline's heart broke as her head began to sway. She
felt she was riding sea waves once more.
Would her doctors always be
stumped by her undiagnosed illness? Now
she simply faced another day of labor/labour
as her dear support friends monitored her every step out of the room and
into another tedious day.
Ouch, this sounds bad. At first I thought she was suffering from veisalgia, but it seems not. Mysterious look into a lady's life.
ReplyDeleteI don't think support dogs would be needed for a hangover. LOL
DeleteThey do sense how we are feeling don't they? They are doing their job well. Hope she gets a diagnosis and cure that puts the dogs out of a job.
ReplyDeleteMy dogs keep an eye on me. When I fell out of the attic they both saw me and ran the other way. LOL
DeleteMaybe, it was vertigo. It can be frightening when it hits without warning for the first time.
ReplyDeleteA good use of the prompts.
Good diagnosis.
DeleteOh Dear, poor Madeline. I hope the doctors can find the problem, meanwhile she has the dogs to steady and comfort her.
ReplyDeleteMy dogs tend to trip me more than steady me. They always think I might have a treat for them.
DeleteVery nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThank you Cindi.
DeleteWell told, i am glad she has her dogs.
ReplyDeleteCould she have mal de debarquement syndrome? One of my clients actually has that.
I believe you made a correct diagnosis. Madeline can inform her doctors:-)
DeleteI haven't had many days like that since I retired. I think letting go of that stress was very healthy. It's a good thing; the cats would more likely trip me than steady me.
ReplyDeleteYes I would hate to depend on a cat to steady me.
DeleteThe dogs are great for comfort. Good use of the prompts.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day.
You have quite a story on your blog. I have read a part of it and will go back to catch up on the rest. Thanks for commenting on my post.
