Living the Home Life

Nearly Dead Dog

Well, you guys aren't going to have to read about fiber this time.  Instead you can read about the absolutely insane week we've had here.  It started out last Saturday with me having excruciating abdominal pain, which lessened, but did continue, all the way through Easter and continued into Monday.  After a trip to the local Urgent Care place and many hours in the ER, I found out that I had ruptured an ovarian cyst.  If you want to know what it felt like, think labor pains.  I spent Tuesday in bed and Wednesday at the vet's office, because my 21/2 yo male German Shepherd swallowed a rock.  Actually, he swallowed three, but only one had to get cut out.  The surgery was pretty cool, though.  Fortunately, my boy came through it, but unfortunately, he needs much pampering.  The first night he was home, I had to get up every hour to water him, feed him every two hours, and potty him every three.  Now he only needs to eat every six hours, which is a major improvement.  In the midst of all this, my son ended up at the same Urgent Care to get his head fixed up after his friend hit him in the head with a rake.  He got a tine right in the forehead.

Do we think things are going to improve?  I surely hope so because I am EXHAUSTED!!!  I am about to collapse.  I know this whole entry stinks and is nothing more than a rant, but it's about the best I can do in my present state.  I'll try to do better next time, I promise.  I do at least have next weekend to look forward to.  I get to spend Saturday at a fiber show with a friend, her llamas, and my spinning wheel, which sounds like a little bit of heaven.

I hope all of you had a blessed Easter!

Hope the next one is better and fibery! And that you get some rest; pampering isn't just for pets!

You know I definitely think it will get better, it has already been horrendous, so it is bound to perk up. Take care!
