Life has been on fast forward for I don't know how long. Family, friends,dog, all is just pretty nuts.
I leave in a couple of weeks for Atlanta, then two weeks after that, go to Munich for a week. I am not too crazy about flying so far cause I am a bit concerned about lymphodema, which can happen after nodes are removed.
This weekend I go to INDY for a breast cancer survivors meeting, should be interesting. ANd, lately, I have found myself sharing with people that I HAD breast cancer, so I guess somewere in my mind, I think it is over.
Time will tell on that one.
Rosie is engaged to a great guy. Marriage is slated for 25 Jan. SHe has 3 sisters and a soon to be sister in law in the wedding party, so it should be interesting.
Homer, my dog, has been sick. I had him at the animal hospital last night, he had to be catherized, and stayed there all night. Seems he has prostitus, and some suspicious cells. Dr cant tell if it is cancer without exploratory surgery, and that would mean Homer would have to be sedated and catherized for a week or so. He is about 12, and I am just not doing that to him. He is the best dog, but if it is his time to go, then I think he deserves some dignity.
Larry and I talked about it, he was in tears. What is it about our pets that pull the heart strings? They wrap themselves around our emotions, and ask for nothing more than to be loved. He is the best dog, and I know he is older, and slower. He is going deaf, too. Is on a special diet for ear infections. I guess we have spent over $1,000 on this dog since Feb, so it is not the money. I don't want to prolong his pain. At least we can put animals to sleep when they are so sick and in so much pain, with no hope of getting better.
My favorite uncle died on the 26th, and it has been so hard. That was the same day, 3 years ago my dad died. Uncle Ralph had leukemia, and was so positive, and upbeat. He was undergoing palletive chemo, but his body just wore out. He was a fighter. He figured one more day with his family was worth whatever he had to go through, to get that day.
I miss you, Uncle Ralph. May your soul find the rest your body so desperately needed, and may you know how very much you are loved, and missed.
