Thank to all of you for your thoughts and prayers. Sorry I haven’t been on since my wife’s surgery. As you might guess, I’ve been pretty busy!
My wife’s operation was completely successful. However, the aftermath has been difficult. The first 36 hours had her in unbearable pain. She was maxed on pain meds and there was nothing going on, so the doctor told her she would just have to soldier through. Fortunately, she found some relief by packing her ankle in ice. By Sunday, she was starting to feel better. She’s getting around on crutches pretty well now but will be unable to put weight on it for about 2 months. As you might guess, I’m learning new lessons in being a good servant. “Good” may not be the right word. But I’m trying! I keep reminding myself that I’m privileged to have two good legs, so the least I can do is to bless her in every way that I can!
Also, Oliver is doing well with his heart worm treatment so far. He’s not normally a dog who bounces off the walls so that’s a plus. But I’m nervous every time he gets a bit active or barks. It gets really old taking him out on a leash to potty in this cold weather, too. Last night I took him and my Shepherd, Cody, out to potty before bedtime. They surprised a rabbit in the front yard and almost caught him. Yikes, Oliver was so excited that I thought for sure he was going to run into trouble!
Anyway, I think I’m back now. Missed everyone here!
