Hump Day-What's New?
Thanks Margaret,
The answer to your question is, yes, it all started in the spleen, which we were not sure of until surgical intervention and I was told 90% of the time it is the very aggressive form of a blood vessel cancer, but, of course, I hoped he would be of the 10% that was not the case for. . . I am blessed to have him with me for whatever time he is here.
Thanks for your kindness, Laureen

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Try and spend as much time as possible with Dillinger as I know you will..Life as we know it is short, and our pets are very special to us in our life's. I send my prayers for you and Dillinger as I know what you are going thru..because this time last year I lost my yellow Lab named Aspen..she was the best dog.Best wishes

Laureen,
I lost my ****er of 18.5 years the day after Mothers Day last year. She too had cancer and I thought it would be the hardest thing for me to do when I took her that morning. I can say now that it was the right thing to do and when she looked at me I knew she wanted to go. It was so peaceful to see her there without pain. It also was great that she had one of the most loving vets I have every seen. He lean over and gentle rubbed her and told her what a wonderful dog she had been and never stopped rubbing her until she was gone. He had been her Dr thoughout her life. It will be hard but I hope you find some peace with it like I did.
Thinking of you

Debi,
Thanks and I will hold my boy in my arms when his time comes, it is very least of what I can do to let him feel my love as his spirit transists to the waiting room I hope to find him in when I make that journey one day and I know from all the people here, there are many furry friends enjoying one another's company as they await a reunion with the people who shared their lives with them.
Hugs, Laureen

Hi Margo and my OFF family:
And happy birthday
to Pat R! My friend Roxane's birthday is Saturday, so I already had a funny card for her, but forgot your birthday until I looked at my calendar ... Rox is on my mind because she is an old friend (in terms of longevity of our friendship, not her age); you are a new friend, Pat, so I don't remember your birthday as easily. Rox and I have been friends since freshman year in college, and although just a few years ago I thought we had strayed a bit in our friendship, I guess we just had both changed and I had to accept that change. Something I learned in therapy.
I'm up early for PT. Knee isn't feeling too badly today, although I have little twinges of pain, like the knife sticking in the top of the knee where the patella tendon connects, like it hurt before surgery. Stretching it out helps, I've found, so that's what I'm doing now.
After PT, I'm getting my new glasses. Haven't had new glasses for three years. Our new insurance allows us a $10 copay for exam, $130 allowance on frames (mine were $145, so not too much of a difference), progressive bifocal lenses, portective coating ... I also got glare-free coating ... I couldn't stand the glare on my glasses anymore. I had the glare-free coating before and really liked it, but the most recent pair doesn't have it. It will be nice to have it again.
Yes, Easter is coming ... it's the day after my 54th birthday (it's also my grandnephew's fifth birthday). I'm taking the week after Easter off. Not doing anything special, but I have three weeks of vacation, so the best time to take them is when no one else wants time off, and that's in the spring and fall. I may try for a weekend in the summer, but that's hard to do.
Oh, got a new toy yesterday ... an air cleaner. Discovered that allergy products are covered by my FSA, so I ordered an air cleaner; it came yesterday so I have to set it up. I hope that will help clean the nasties out of the air and help my allergies. It's not a big, fancy expensive one, but it was well-recommended in the allergy products catalog my allergist gave me. Also got the furnace filters that are supposed to be very sensitive. They are discontinuing them, so I bought two years worth.
Well, I've babbled on long enough. Have a good day.
