Day Five

Jeff continues to look better and feel better. The night before last I was rudely awakened in the middle of the night. Jeff was having his wicked ways with Stella and they were making quite a racket. Come on now, Jeff! I am glad you are feeling better but you don' have to disrupt everyone's sleep. It woke up the whole house.

He is still wobbly when he walks due to the fact that his back end has atrophied so much. His appetite is good and he seems to be more than happy. Last night he was whining a bit so I gave him some pain meds before he went to bed. The way I see it is there is no reason to suffer. I take an pill when I have a headache so why should I deprive him? Well... other than some late night nooky.

We took a walk-about today in the garden. The sun was glorious in Florida today and we both took advantage of the weather. He had to sit down and rest a few times which gave him an opportunity to roll around in the sand and dirt. He has always loved a good dust bath.

As for myself... I haven't noticed a big difference other than my skin seems to feel softer and smoother and I am very "regular". To give you an idea how I use the "powder" or PXP, I mix a scoop (about a teaspoon with a little warm water and blend it into a porridge). This makes about two teaspoons. I than eat it. This I do two times a day; once in the morning and then in the early evening before dinner. There must be an hour without eating on each side of the PXP. Then I take two pills of the HFI which is the "dirt" In the morning I also take my normal supplements because I am told they will absorb better if taken with the PXP. Pretty simple really.

As for Jeff... We are on the same schedule. I mix the PXP and the HFI together along with some glucosamine. I offered it to him to eat plain but he wasn't that keen on rice porridge so I squirt it into his month. Really he doesn't mind. He seems to have a sense that it is helping him. One noteworthy detail is that since he had his last incident a few weeks ago he have vomited everyday. This has stopped.
