YOU CAN TEACH AN OLD DOG NEW TRICKS

*PAUSE* Must let the hand-nudging dog out so I can type. Dang, now I have two of them. One on each hand. Swing back by the coffee pot, grab a second cup of Joe. Now, I think I am ready. I was "tagged" the other day by Mellisa B. and being the Old Dog that I am, I had never done this.. My cries of help were heard by my NEW BEST FRIEND in Blogspot, Dana. This poor woman has talked me through it all. Dana I hope I did you proud.

I have been "tagged" for a "meme"

I was over at Melissa B. site http://www.MelissaB.blogspot.com/ the other day and came home with this. This is my first attempt at this and My new best friend Dana http://www.danajoywyzard.blogspot.com/ has walked me through this. If its wrong "SORRY" I tried. But it was fun learning something new I can do now. Thanks again Dana! So here goes.

Teriffic Tuesday

Good Day everyone. It is a terrific day. My sister is coming home , at least by Saturday. Susi ( my son's dog) has come through her surgery and the night's stay at the vet's with flying colors. All is right with my world. Susi will be staying one more night because she refuses to eat so far. Poor thing she probably thinks she will start throwing up again. But her prognosis is great. Thanks to everyone who prayed and to the wonderful vet that finally figured out what was really wrong with her. She has been sick for almost a month now. It took 3 different visits to find out what was wrong with her. Wish we had taken her to this vet first. It would have saved her a lot of pain and precious time. Time she almost ran out of. But I think the worst is over now and that is what counts. Can you sue a vet for malpractice? Well he did misdiagnosis her and put her through a lot of extra pain and cost to my son and his wife. Two weeks of pain is to much for any animal or human to go through. But I digress. Whoopee! I feel like dancing a jig. The old hip( or should I say the "new" ball and pin ) cannot take it. LOL

Rainy Wednesday

Today is not a good day for me. So, if I rant and rave to much just click off my site. My sister is back in the hospital. She just went home yesterday afternoon. She was in the hospital for 2 weeks after surgery on her parathyroid. She developed complication of a blood clot in her neck. They were doing a "wait and see" what happens . Well yesterday they deemed her well enough to go home. She goes home only to return after just 5 hours. She told them yesterday she was having a lot of pain in her neck and they said "that's normal" SURE IT IS! Any way she had emergency surgery last night. Some of the sights were oozing blood and they had to cauterize them, strip the blood clot out of her vein and general cleaning up. The have her on a ventilator now, and she will stay on that all day in the ICU. My other sister is with her and she says she is alert and is writing orders with a pen and paper, so she is doing great. I missed a visit with my daughter this morning, because I slept in till 9. She came by and I was sleeping so peacefully she would not wake me. Good thing she was not a mass murderer. So much for these VICIOUS man eating dogs we have here. LOL But, in their defense, they know her and did not bark when she came in. I am sure they would have alerted me if a stranger broke in. Right? It has been raining all morning, so the dogs are in a blue funk because they cannot go out, and I am right there with them. So, today has to get better, and I am sure it will. Eventually!

BLESSED DAY

So I have returned from my visit to my sisters yesterday. Her surgery went great and she is doing fine. The trip was long and I was very tired when I got home. R and A and myself went out for lunch, and visited a few shops. Found out that "IF" I ever want a trike that it will cost me approximately $30,000. Needless to say I will probably never have one unless I buy a used one, and the person feels very, very sorry for me. After our little outing we came home. A made a Kalua pie to take to a "kegger" that we were invited to last night. I didn't go. I knew I would be ready to come home way before they were and I didn't feel like driving myself. It was probably a good thing I didn't go. The last thing I remember was watching tv around 7:30 and the next thing I knew it was 3:15 AM. So, I have been up since then, drinking coffee and blogging. But as I sit here I feel blessed. My sister is fine, I am at home, and I am loved. No one could ask for more.

Babycakes pt. 3

Yes, he is still here. Living under our deck. He acts like he wants to be loved so bad. He will let us get close, but when I extend my hand he flinches and runs. I am not sure how to gain his trust. Its a work in progress. I am making a trip today, back home, to be with my sister during her surgery. They are operating on her parathyroid gland..It is sucking to much calcium out of her body and they think this surgery will help. I probably won't be able to be on-line until Saturday again. No computer to post from there. Be sweet, play nice, and mind CC while I am gone.
