Yay - I got my internet hookup fixed. Practically had to stand on my head, but I got it plugged back in!
I'm home and so happy! It was wonderful to sleep in my very own bed last night. I actually got more than an hour of sleep at a time!
Those of you who have followed Tink's story since last summer will remember that I have a "friend" with a little Yorkie girl Dixie. She
loaned her to me last summer when Tink was in hospital and to be quite honest - she is a terrible little brat! She ended up going home early. Well, I had a horrible suprise when I got home yesterday. A darling little bratty Dixie met me at the door when I opened it. I nearly cried in front of my friends I was so upset. In fact I did cry later in the day because she never stops and has to have attention 150% of the time and I don't have the strength or mental accuity right now to take care of her. Marcy left me a note on the door saying she was there to keep me company!
I do not like that dog and did not want her here. I needed peace and quiet. Oh how awful to feel so badly about a cute little dog but I'm sorry - I do!
My friend Karen (not the one who has Tink) came and took her away about 8:00 tonight - thank the Lord for good friends. Dixie will stay with Karen until Marcy comes back on Monday. I couldn't believe this happened
Anyway, I'm doing quite well, still quite a bit of pain but it's to be expected - if the back will calm down, I will be in good shape. My surgeon said that the back needs to calm down so I can have good mobility in the knee so he is consulting with my spine surgeon and the pain clinic about more steroid shots to my spine. I really don't like those and I think they have stopped working for me. Please pray with me that God will touch my back and I will not have that pain to deal with right now.
I talked with Karen (who does have Tink) this afternoon and Tink is doing well with her therapy. She is beginning to get the walking rhythm back in her front legs and trying to hold her front up to walk. She does quite well in the water with the harness. She is going to try to bring her over this weekend. I would love to see my little girl.
I'm going to post another thread about all the cards and gifts I gotten while in hospital and rehab. Other that the frog Sue sent (which we've already given to Tink), I hadn't seen the other things. I opened them all last night and today. I took some pictures and I'll post pics and thanks tomorrow. I really can't sit any longer to post and this is a long post already.
Thank you all for your thots' prayers, cards, well-wishes, and gifts for Tink and me. I'll try to thank you all individually. I am so thankful for all my YT friends. Please continue the prayers for us.
Hugs - Susie!
