It has been awhile. Have had the computer from hell and have not been near one in I am not sure how long. It seems to be working for now so am able to catch up with you all.
Our A went through a 35 day rehab and seemed to do fine for awhile. Ended up in hospital again not long ago and we almost lost her again. From what I understand she is not drinking at this moment. I do not know, I have kept myself far removed from the situation.
I have been spending what seems like an inordinate amount of time in physio. I have adhesive capsulitis. When the doctor told me i said "huh". When he realized I didn't have a frickin clue what he had just said he told me I have a frozen shoulder.
At the moment we have a very ill dog and are having to make hard decisions. We adore her and want her here forever.
In spite of all this life is good. I take care of my side of the street, don't get involved in other people's stuff, spend time with those I love and keep on keeping on. Took a long time to get to this place.
I have missed you all and if the computer continues to cooperate will be around. I should give in and purchase a new one but vet bills are my financial priority at the moment.
The sun is shining. Am taking my furry baby out on the deck to soak up the warmth.

Welcome Back! Gone but not forgotten. Love the cat pix. I had shoulder surgery in August (actually 2 because the screw came out). Stay with the PT, it works in the long run. It is a tough surgery. What a a great positive attitude you have. Keep coming back. How did we stay connected before computers?
Welcome back. I'm sorry about the relapse. But as we all know that comes with the territory. I'm so sorry about your dog. Pipers Kitty and I will say extra prayers for her/him. No one wants an animal to suffer, but it doesn't make the tough decisions any easier. You'll do what's best and the sweet one will know it. Take good care of your shoulder. Listen to the doctors. (Or I'll have Pipers come over and bop you in the nose! ) Don't be a stranger. We've missed your sweet face around here. Much love and blessings to you and your family. Extra love to all the animals.
Live strong, Karilynn & Pipers Kitty

I have really missed you lilms!!! So good to "see" you back. Take care of that shoulder. And that dear old doggy. Your attitude has seen me through a few dark days. Thank you. Nothing would please me more than a visit from you. Hang in there. Hawaii beckons.
With great affection,

Just like someone turned the light back on...here you are!! I read your later post on your pet and it's present condition and diagnosis. Sorry I don't do sadness real well when it comes to the pooches cause we have two little ones and I am close to them and I am also a projectionist. I project into the furture what might, may, can, should, could, will happen and I have a very hard time with the consequences of that. That is one of the reasons that I didn't want to have pets again except maybe birds that could outlive me. Serious thought tho a little unrealistic but then again. I get close to the pets. I'm codependent to these little critters and that's just me....At times it sucks!!
Anyhow I will now include you heart and the hearts of anyone else in your family who is going thru this with your pet, in my hugs (((((lilms)))))
