> It was obvious my partner knew I wasn't feeling all that well and just wanted me to go home to be in a safe place.
> While we were leaving Denver Health Medical, Odie suddenly became distracted and I couldn't figure out why for at least ten minutes what was causing him to do that.
> I had to get on him a couple of times to pay attention and finally, using the word PFUI (pretty funny unplanned incidents).
> He did get his act together, but I could tell that my partner wasn't very happy though that I wasn't listening to him.
> After I had crossed over a side street or a driveway, I then heard an ambulance come shooting out of the 6th Avenue side of the DHM campus and then on to Bannock Street.
> I then told Odie I realized why he was not paying attention that he was trying to warn me ahead of time that one was coming out of there rather quickly.
> We reached the bus stop and he pulled to the right, indicating to me that I needed to face the shelter at the stop and have my back facing toward the paramedic truck as it was going by us.
> Odie heard the engine of the truck start up and saw the red and blue emergency lights flashing as it was perparing to make its exit.
> We took the route52 from in front of denver Health down to 18th and Laqwrence to disembark near the Fire Department to walk a block home.
> I let Odie take care of business before going upstairs.
> By that time, the migrain was so bad that I just threw my pajamas on and went to bed immediately for the rest of the day.
> Saturday was bowling practice.
> Odie and I went to that and by the evening afte returning home, both of us werw exhausted and wiped out from the heat.
> Around 9:15 Saturday evening, Dale and I ended up being woken up by the fire alarm in the hallway.
> Someone carelessly burned their Tortino's pizza.
> It actually made our whole apartment complex smell and I was able to pick up on the odor even outtside in the back of the building while the bedroom windo was opened all the way.
> Surprisingly, Odie didn't respond to the noise of the fire alarm.
> Dale had to touch him to physically get his attention upon having him come into the bedroom with us and close the door.
> He then realized what was happening and looked toward his daddy.
> Dale said to him that we did hear what was going on.
> Fire department showed up in four minutes and turned off the alarm.
> I am proud of myself as I did not experience a convulsive grandmal seizure during that incident.
> Regardless, I still have to be on guard as it could occur another point.
> As for Sunday, Odie, Dale and I were worn out from the heat.
> I slept off and on during the day and Odie had his nap with a good long sleep too.
