So Much ....

Update on Sassy, our dog, after the messed up disc in her back:
She is having an amazing recovery. She can use her hind legs & wag her tail. She isn't steady. I'm not sure the hind legs will every be the same. We have been adding Apple Cider Vinegar to her water. After researching, I found that Apple Cider Vinegar is suppose to be helpful with joints, along with many other things. She is still not allowed to walk on stairs or get up & move around alot due to needing more time for her back to heal. But, we are thankful she is still with us & has use of her legs again.

BAD NEWS>>> Wednesday, my step-mother fell at work. She is 76 years old & works more than some people my age. Anyway, she was trying to catch some merchandise that was blowing away from the front of the store. She tripped & cut her face very badly!

It was quite a traumatic injury. She ended up with 29 stitches + 2 more stitches inside & some glue. The thought she had broke her nose. But, amazingly, she did not break anything! She has a large, very deep gash from the middle of her nose across her cheek, another cut between that & her eye, a small cut barely above the eyelid & one above the eyebrow. We don't know how much of the cuts were from her glasses or from something she fell on.

Yesterday, I had to rush her out of town. She had to see a doctor just to have it checked. That doctor thought the ER had missed a cut on the corner of her eye because the bottom eye lid is down & out away from her eye. I rushed her to the eye specialist, who determined that there was not a missed cut and she didn't have to have surgery right then. But, she will be having surgery to repair the bottom lid. The way it is sitting, it is not protecting her eye. As long as the surface of her eye does not get damaged, they hope to wait until the tissue in that area heals. The surgery has to be done within the next 2 months, though.

As it turns out, it appears that she also did something to her arm. It has been x-rayed & it was fine. But, she is having some problems with using it due to pain.

EASTER>>> We were planning on a quiet dinner. We thought it was going to be me, hubby & the 5 children that are still at home. My 20 yr daughter asked if we were having a dinner. Of course, I invited her , her husband & 6 month old baby. HAA HAA!! Today the total for dinner has turned into 18 and the menu has grown! My oldest daughter, her husband & 4 kids and my Dad & step-mother are now coming. Oh well, just more yummy food to make. It should be a nice ...... busy day! :)

WORK>>> Hubby is still looking for work. I do have good news. I start my new position next week!! Field Coordinator with a demo company. I pray this works out great and some other things that I've been working on work out!
