Up, Down and All Around
Since my last post, things have been, well, quite something. Our emotions have run the gamut from happy/thrilled to indifference and sadness.
Thrilled for Dylan! He's begun to navigate through his senior year and what's coming next. Watching Aidan grow as he realizes working is actually work. Jackson is doing better than ever now that he's fully healed! Bryce is back to cheerleading. She's also starting singing lessons.
Sarah, Adam and Sam are doing great! Also quite busy.
Of course there's also the flip side. Sigh.
Lucky, our 12-ish 6 pound 4-legged boss child, has been quite under the weather. This is probably way too much information and I'm sorry.
Poor baby ruptured her anal glands. Outside of when she hurt her back, she's never been in so much pain. We just finished her antibiotics and gabapentin.
At least with Lucky it's easy to get the meds into her. Wednesday, I take both dogs in for re-checks and blood work.
Tuesday I meet my 5th new primary in 3 years. Here's my indifferent part. I have little hope of her staying long enough to form a medical relationship.
Then to wrap up -Steve's mom passed away. Almost 95, very fragile and bent over, she fell and broke 6 ribs, wound up with both congestive heart failure and pneumonia. The hospital ER doctor bordered on elder abuse.
Another topic, possibly, for a different time.
They got her to rehab where she immediately tested positive for covid.
Steve literally got there within 30 minutes of her passing.
Tomorrow we will be up at 4 a.m.. Drive to Los Angeles (8 hours, if we're in God's good graces), have the funeral, reverse the former and hopefully be home by midnight.
Sam, younger grands and all the pets will stay at home. I don't envy Sam! Sunshine is a difficult eater. Plus, she still has hard feelings about Daisy.
With all this said, I wish everyone peace and good health.
