I haven't posted here in several weeks, things have gotten kind of crazy in my life. At least crazier then usual! It's actually been a rough past week. Some good, tho...we finally closed on our house last Monday and are working on getting moved in. The remaining appliances that we need will be delivered on Tuesday and after that we will begin living there full-time! There is a LOT of stuff in our U-Locks and it freaks me out to think of unpacking it all and finding places to put everything. We are going to have to do a lot more purging of things we really don't need.
The big sad thing that happened is we lost our dog Charlotte. This came as a complete surprise, tho with in the last three weeks she has gotten noticably worse. She started limping a couple months ago and we thought she had slipped and hurt her leg. We finally took her to our vet 3 weeks ago and they did X-Rays. The bones in the X-ray showed they were fine, so we scheduled surgery hoping/praying it was a large fatty tumor that was pressing on nerves in her shoulder. When our vet got into her shoulder area they found pretty extensive cancer that was wrapped around the nerves, vessels, etc. and had even spread to her rib cage area. We made the decision to have her cross over the rainbow bridge while she was still sedated. I miss her terribly. I feel I did not get a chance to say good-bye to her. We did choose to have her cremated and will get her ashes back. I just feel so empty, she was such a wonderful, loving dog. Our vet feels the tumor that was removed by her ear two years ago was related to this cancer. We did not have the tumor biopsied at that time. As our vet said, the removal of that tumor bought us two more wonderful years with her.
Ok, I've babbled on long enough about my Charlotte. Since we will be living in our home full-time beginning this week, I need to truly focus on getting my diet straightened up. I'm going to refocus on implementing the tools and plan Diane has given me. At least I haven't gained anymore weight!!
