    Things Are Returning To Normal

    It’s been over a month of careening from one family crisis to the next. Things are finally starting to settle down. Mo is doing much better and can even jump up on the bed and chairs without assistance. Her back left foot is finally correcting itself.

    Rappy has improved leaps and bounds. She can go potty by herself now and walk about on flat ground. Stairs we still have to lift her up and down most the time. However a few times when she is well rested she has taken them down without help and up with us steadying her back end.

    I am slowly recovering from my back injury. It’s set back by the lifting of the dog but whatcha gonna do but deal with it.

    Mike’s black eye from the doggie slinging her head in pain as he carried her to the car for the initial vet visit is healing. His back is fine but now he has a bad head cold. Poor man, he kept quiet this weekend while I worked Saturday and we both rested Sunday.

    Aaron is doing well in his AIT school. He actually called this week and we got to hear his voice. He’s making arrangements for his classes in the Fall.

    That’s it in a nutshell. We’re still the family with half of the members in physical therapy but we’re healing as best as aging cat, dog, and woman can.

    Until Next Time.

    Last Friday I reported to the hospital bright and early for surgery.  I have to give a great big CUDOS to the Froedtert Hospital team they made it as comfortable as possible.  I came home Saturday as predicted and all is going smoothly.  It will take the six weeks to recover despite my wanting it to go faster.  I do get very tired very easily.  Shower is a workout that requires a nap afterward.  Pathology showed all was benign.  So now the slow walk to recovery.  If I don’t respond quickly rest assured once I wake up from my nap I’ll get to you.
