Best friends

After almost 2 months away, at the hospital and rehab, I brought Marvin home on Saturday.

I was a little wary because I felt I had not been properly trained by the nurses at the hospital or the rehab facility. I never had any hands on training. I felt better when they said they would send a nurse on Sunday.

 Unfortunately, I had to learn the hard way because that same night the %$#^ bag leaked. It was not a fun night, but finally we got it done, and hopefully things will improve.

The nurse said I did an OK job, but on Wednesday they will send a specialized nurse to train me properly.

 Marvin is feeling well, a little tired for having dialysis two days in a row. He uses the walker and has no trouble moving around. He is also eating better :)

 I was also a little concerned about Lulu. She's a playful puppy and likes to nip and her claws and teeth are very sharp. Marvin has very thin skin and sure enough, she scratched his hand and it bled. However, after that, she has acted super careful. Marvin has a calming effect on her. She likes to sit with him and sleep by his side while he's watching TV. They are becoming best friends, it is very cute to see them together.

 With me, she's still going nuts once in a while and barks and growls and is generally a big goofy puppy! :)

 Did you all see the Oscars? I am OK with the winners, especially since I've seen The Artist and enjoyed it.

Have a nice week everybody.
