I\u2019d got my seatbelt on as I always do, but it didn\u2019t stop me twisting awkwardly and pulling both my back and leg. Given I\u2019ve already got back problems it wasn\u2019t a good idea. I\u2019m in a lot of pain if I move and am struggling to do steps down. I can just about do up, but down is awful. I just don\u2019t know what to do with myself. I\u2019m already on painkillers but they aren\u2019t coming close to dealing with it. I squeal with pain every time I try moving. I just want to stay here in the bed right by the side of our Mistress and rest. That\u2019s easier said than done with Aristotle around. If I&nbsp;squeal he can\u2019t stop himself from jumping on me and I really can\u2019t cope with that right now. I didn\u2019t actually swim as I was too poorly, but the hydrotherapist is a veterinary nurse so she had a good look at me. If I\u2019m as bad this morning our Mistress will take me to the vet, but to be quite honest I don\u2019t want to go anywhere at all. I hope this is going to improve soon as I don\u2019t think I could stand it being like this for very long. I\u2019m miserable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilma comes over and gives me a comforting lick now and again and our Mistress is giving me lots of gentle strokes and brings scraps of food to me that might cheer me up, but even lifting my head is a lot of effort. Lying flat is really the only thing I can cope with. We\u2019re feeling pretty glum. At least our Mistress says she will sleep downstairs with me for as long as I need her to. I don\u2019t think I could bear not to be near her at night. She\u2019s my world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find short stories to read at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alfiedog.com\">www.alfiedog.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alfie\u2019s Diary \u2013 the Book as well as our other books are available <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/s\/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;field-keywords=rosemary%20j%20kind\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>On the way to swimming yesterday, our Mistress had to break sharply and I wasn\u2019t paying attention.
