Well, My, My, My
Let me just say- this has been a week.
http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Carine_Nadel
Our eldest grandson is leaving today for a 3-week college course in Costa Rica.
Lucky still has uncontrolled high blood pressure. So are that got in touch with a specialist who decided she needed to take two different medications.
Okay.
The problem was, one of them was $800 a month! There was quite the stern discussion. We told her there was no way we could afford $800 a month no matter how much we love our dog.
Then there was a compound company who would do it for $100 a month. Still too rich for us! Steve and I together do not spend that much on our high blood pressure medication for a year. Nothing close!
So we started her on the medication we can afford.
Then finally got word that I was ready for step two of my jaw reconstruction. This part entailed drilling into the empty hole and putting in a titanium post and covering it with tissue so it could now heal for another 2 to 5 months before I can go get the abutment and crown.
Had the surgery yesterday. There went another $2,000! And by the time I went to bed, I was looking a little as if I were a chipmunk with acorns in my mouth.
This morning, for those of you who are old enough to remember a case of the mumps, my entire left side of my head looks like I have a very bad case.
So that's my week. I've declared today a PJ day. And Lucky and I will just cuddle in my recliner.

More Weepies
Forgive me.

The roller coaster of Life just seems to be inundating our existence of late.
We have shed many happy tears for our eldest grandson Dylan and his high school graduation. We added to those happy tears for joy regarding his next stage of life.
Then came the next wave which hit an all-time low. Although we have not felt since losing our beloved tabby pepper five years ago.
Weepy is not exactly the correct word. Bawling our eyes out is much closer to the reality.
Sunshine took up a huge space in our lives and now we have a crater that seems so deep that it's impossible to repair.
Poor Lucky! This is her first time being without a buddy. She has been looking around, smelling around and whimpering.
Then to further emphasize our loss, John Denver comes on singing "Sunshine on my Shoulders". The crying re-starts.
Yesterday I got a call that our footprint was ready. I managed to hold it together -until I opened the gift box.
Still, no matter how deep the grief, I wouldn't trade a single minute of the last 8-1/2 years.
