Hello all;
Just checking in to let you know the good times just keep rolling here at the Hull-Pendergrass estate.............................
3 days after my father in law's memorial service, (which was just perfect; it could not have been done any better than Pa's kids did it), I spent the entire day in E.R. with my mother. She had spent from 3:00 in the morning until 11:30 when I arrived attempting to get out of bed. She wears one of those "I have fallen and can't get up" buttons, but this is the 3rd time she has needed to use it and has forgotten all about it. She was so very weak, in such pain and dehydrated. She had some cartilage behind her knee that had hooked or snagged on a ligament or tendon. Once they were able to find out what it was and break it loose, she was fairly pain free; just very fatigued and sore. She is agreeable now that at 91 years of age, she should no longer live alone. We would like for her to come and stay with us until she decides where she wants to settle, but she is dragging her feet. Mother does not like children or pets. So I am is spending most of the time I am not doing child care, down at my mother's.
And the good times just keep rolling...........
Saturday after watching our lab, (who turned 1 Thanksgiving), take forever to get up and then hop on her hind feet, we took her to the Veterinary Animal Hospital. And yes, even at just 1 yr of age, she has hip dysplasia and her knee joints are extremely inflamed. $10,000.00 in U.S.D. for the hip replacements; the vet opted for medical intervention and then perhaps surgery to remove the top of the ball of her hip joint, if necessary. Dear hubby and the Dr. Fay, (who also has a yellow lab and has been Abby's vet since birth), were all in tears. So she gets a shot every Wed. and Sat. and three medications daily. She is not so crazy about the fish oil that we must put on her food and has stopped eating. We figure that when she gets hungry enough, she will eat it. It is strange. One day she was getting up and moving fine and within 3 days she was at the Vet's. Our vet says that usually when they are that young and develop this, it does come on rather quickly. She is better already.
AND NOW THE GOOD TIMES ARE REALLY ROLLING..............................................
On a lighter note; I am now a Great grandmother. Our 23 year old grand daughter, Erin, gave birth evening before last to a beautiful bouncing baby girl. Weighing in at 8 lbs. 1 oz and 19 inches long, our little Madisen Lena is just a bundle of joy!~!
So go to my profile page and please meet Maidsen Lena. She has strawberry blonde curly/wavy hair and is lovely. Great nanny is not proud at all. Also any of you who can bust into my facebook (Paolina and St. Richard; I know the two of you can) account, she is there also: under me, her Auntie Haley, her mommie, Erin and perhaps her Auntie Rachel and G'ma Elaina.
I feel like I did it myself.
Now..................back to the group read of Doctor Zhivago!~!
hugs,
