So, normally Ollie is attached to my husband's side. Last week I had a flare up of my back/sciatica again, (i've been on medical leave at my work for nearly a yr due to these back issues) It was horrible still is actually, I had to go to the ER, who really said they couldn't do much since i'm being seen by a specialist/pain management dr. Ollie will not leave my side, he has never really showed me much affection, he's been giving kisses, following me around, sits/lays wherever I am, licks my legs and feet. I guess dogs really do know when your not feeling well, something is wrong. My horrid paiin in my back is pretty much gone, still sore but not to the point I was last friday I almost called 911 and for me that is huge! My family know's if I go to the ER something is really wrong! So my pain is about gone but my butt/legs/feet are numb/ yes both legs and feet, one side is worse then the other but it's def not a fun way to live!! Anyhow I just thought it was interesting How ollie has taken to my side now, I've been sleeping in the spare bed as it is higher and firmer so easier for me to get in and out of, my husband was telling me goodnight, Ollie broke in Jumped up (painfully right in my spine he couldn't have hit the worse spot possible if he tried) his paw landed smack in my spine and laid next to me looking at my husband like, no i'm sleeping here tonight! Of course his shenanigans put me in tears but I thought it was sweet how he's been so loving to me, wonder if it'll last!!! Hoping of course this pain/numbness won't!!
