Life is a journey. Too bad someone hasn't come up with an easier way to travel. I'm supposed to be doing daily Physical therapy for my back. I couldn't afford going in, but got a set of exercises to do on my own. Now, all I need is the self discipline to do them. My wooden ramp at home needs yearly painting and maintenance, but was a free gift from my neighbors. Best of luck getting help with yours.
Guess what! Friday is going to be a great day! Our ramp comes on Friday! That means my wife could go to the eye surgeon next week! Now she isn't sure she can handle getting outside again. (slamming head into door.)
I am waiting on a call from the woman who holds our mortgage. It seems she thinks my wife shouldn't wait a year to get her sight fixed. If she can pull the money out of one of her accounts, it looks like she is going to refinance. That means we could possibly have a ramp by the end of the month at the soonest.
Strangely this news threw my wife into a panic attack instead of a feeling of relief. It seems she is scared to leave the house again because the last time wasn't any fun. And she is looking forward to surgery when she goes.
I am depressed. It looks like the waiting list for help with the ramp is a year or more long, and we are at the end. My wife will most likely be completely blind by then. I got an estimate from a handiman for 3500 for a ramp. I am ready to try refinancing my mortgage and just paying for that ramp. If I can convince the woman who holds our mortgage.
Today was a pretty good day, even though my wife had a hard time with things this morning. She is scared that she will go completely blind before we can get her in for her surgeries. I am doing everything I can to get the ramp put in, but at times like that, it just doesn't feel like I am doing enough.
We are breathing easier. It seems precious only has a bad sprain. The vet gave her 10 days worth of pain meds and said nothing was broken. No x-rays were needed. So just a relatively small hit to the budget
Already putting away birthday celebration gift points. I won 10k for my 12:01 review. That was cool. I was disappointed at not getting my review done to count for yesterday but this was cool.
Precious gave me a scare today. I had to go to the store and my wife was home alone with the dogs. Usually that means the dogs chill on the bed with her for nap time. Today precious was nowhere to be found and she wouldn't even come to her for cheese. I was sure I was going to come home on corpse patrol and have to figure out what to do with her until I could get her cremated on Tuesday. But no she was just hiding out in the craft room on the twin bed we have for guests we got a memory foam mattress topper almost as thick as the mattress. I guess she just was more comfortable but she had us both freaked out.
Precious is puking probably because i tried to give her puppy asprin for her leg. She's still hurting and having trouble keeping things down. We have an appointment on wednesday but if she gets any worse we're going to have to go to the er. That could get pricey. We already spent our vet budget for this month on sophie so we may have to cut other things from the budget.
