Catching up

Wednesday, February 11, 2009

It has been an eventful few weeks. Things seemed like they we were in a movie or something most of the time. Here are a few pictures to catch-up!


Today Findlay came home from the vet hospital after having his "surgery". He was SOOO happy last weekend, having no clue what was in store this week. You can see he played Frisbee in the snowy yard and just chilled out inside.



















He did really well with the surgery and is now home - a bit tired, but seeming pretty happy to be here!! Findlay is to 'rest' and be kept on leash when outside. That will be a treat for mommy, as he does not like to do his business on the leash. Long roams in the yard have already provided ample evidence that the next 7-10 days will be LONG!!
Now for me. My surgery went pretty well on the 29th. It was much more painful than they said, but I figure that they did not want to worry me at all. There was an eventful post-op time with an ambulance ride to the ER and a night in the ER. Yes, I became very short of breath and has shoulder pressure - resulting in a 911 call. The story ends with the potential of a small clot having been in the chest but dissipating OR I just am a WOOSEEE. You can be the judge of it all! Overall, it was interesting and made for a slower recovery time than expected. Thanks for the cards, calls, wonderful edible creations (from family) and prayers. I am feeling much better and the tiredness is slowly going away.

Well, that is about all the news from here. Have a great Valentines' Day! Love to each of you. Hugs!
