I've been suffering from one pain or another for the past month, or perhaps longer. Taking care of Snoopy in his old age is certainly punishing both physically and mentally.
My shoulder, arms, right down to my hands ache from carrying him. The last I checked, he was approximately 19kg. And when he struggles in my arms, surely he's heavier than that. The thing is once I strained my muscles, I don't even have the chance to rest and recuperate. I just keep using the same set of muscles despite the pain.
And because I hardly get to rest at all, what with having to clean up his poo and urine in the middle of the night, once or twice almost nightly, I am so stressed out that I have a new ailment myself.
I could just feel my stomach or somewhere internally being bloated with wind, or some say gas, and I could not even burp or fart out. Imagine the pain. My doctor calls this gastro paralysis or gastroparesis. Whatever its name, I know that I'm suffering from this only because I'm totally stressed out.
