Reclusive
So, I've been a bit reclusive in my first week not working for the church...
I haven't really felt like doing a whole lot - but it's been a pretty full week anyway. I still had a ton of appointments to go to, and I had 2 of my groups ending - though my Thursday night one has a girls night out this week.
Bandit isn't doing well at the moment. It's been two weeks he's been in pain, and he rarely comes out of his crate. The vet said we've done a great job of kennel training him, since that is the first place he wants when he's scared or hurting. We've had to take him his meals and meds and water - feeding him in the crate, and about once a day, I can get him to go outside to relieve himself. He doesn't stand up and walk around unless forced, and doesn't come snuggle with me. It's really disturbing.
Tomorrow we call to get him an appointment with the orthopedic vet and see if we can figure out what's wrong. Our vet noticed that for as well developed as his front legs are, his hind legs are underdeveloped. It explains why he couldn't jump onto our bed without the ottoman...But the cause behind it is what we don't know.
I'm still doing my other job for this last month, and tomorrow we will get the crib and changing table set up in the baby's room. I wish I knew what his name is going to be. It's mildly frustrating to not know - but truthfully we don't.
All this combined with the changes that are happening and are about to happen, and I think being home and not dealing with too many people is a comfort right now - even though it's people I love and would like to spend time with - it's all a little much right now.
