I had just finished chemo and radiation and had was stuck home feeling pretty aweful, I could not go back to work for a while until my blood levels were correct ( still working on that) , my children are 25,21 and 13 they all are very busy with thier own lives, school , working and my youngest is a competitive cheerleader, I had sickenss and empty nest syndrome
, I went to a cancer support meeting where I had a melt down , a lady said did you ever thing of a dog, I thought Hmmm, she said they dont care if you look terrible one day, they dont care if you clean your house , they are glad to stay with you on the couch if you feel horrible one day... I discussed it with my Dr and she said yes great idea... I had radiation on my pelvic area which left them soar and a little bit of nerve damage so it had to be a small dog, I came home googled little dogs and decided on a Yorkie.. I thank god everyday for Laci she has been my angel.. she loves me no matter what I feel like, what I look like like, or if Im tired she still loves her mama
