Nothing like a big sloppy kiss from your dog to make you realise how lucky you are to be loved so unconditionally. They are always there for you through good and bad times and never judge. I could not be without my dogs even when they are naughty and drive me mad.

Zoi gave me a black eye when I arrived home New Years Eve LOL, she was that happy to see me. :smt049

Yes I'm fine thanks...........the doctors think I've torn the muscle in the back of my neck.......probably through picking my dog up so often over the past few weeks, the muscle is large and enflamed, looks like a grapefruit sticking out the base of my skull at the back, very very painful, causing major headaches too, so I've now a cocktail of painkillers and I feel great..........

If no improvement in a few more days, then I have to go back into hospital for further tests, but the doctors seemed pretty confident it was muscle and nothing sinister!

phew, glad ur ok

I know if Jas is really,really pleased to see because his tail goes in a circle poor dab doesn't whether to wag it up 'n down or from side to side

I hope your neck is better soon CC.

I love coming home to my dogs. Luca wags her tail so hard,her whole body moves. Storm leaps about like a lunatic and Shaan runs off to go and get me his favourite ball :smt049
The kids on the other hand greet me with "Mum, what's to eat, I'm starving" and they wonder why I love my dogs so much

Thanks........it seems better today, just now my tummy is playing up with the strong pain killers, so if anybody has any suggestions for painkillers that don't cause pain, please let me know!

Forgot to say, the pills I'm on are Co-Codamol and Diclofenac 50mg

Hope it gets better soon CC

Diclofenac is an anti-inflamatory, be sure to have something to eat before you take them, they do play havoc with your tummy. Co-codamaol (paracetamol/codiene) can give you, erm..how can I put this..bowel trouble ops:

Both are pretty good but if you have any problems, go back to your G.P, I'm sure he'll be able to give you something.

CC, I cannot help you with your Tummy.

But I have been told I give a Great Massage ....

So If you want to just pop over, I will see if I can help you with your Neck..

Take Care, and I hope you feel better soon..
