Hi all,
Well, I think I'm one of those kinds of people for whom nothing (almost)
goes really well, without hitch, and lots of things never happen because of
others that come in the way . . .. Get the picture?
I just wanted to share with you all that my ex-guide dog, Fabian, has very
bad arthritis. It started to get very bad about the middle of last week
and, just when I thought it could get no worse, today he is literally
creeping along. The vet has given him steroids but they're quite difficult
to get down him. For a few days I just didn't react then, when Mike said
something to me today I just started to cry and cry. The "in pieces" bit,
with which I'm very familiar, is beginning to set in - for how long I don't
know!
Meantime, I had to go away for a meeting on Monday and took Fabian with me,
being the best out of all solutions. I had to carry him upstairs - and
those who know me well enough will know where that left my back, wrists,
etc. Next Monday starts our week of camp, following which we're supposed to
be at another friend's, with stairs to climb. The vet will see us on Friday
and by that time we really ought to make our decision about next week, but
it's not looking good, whichever way I go! I'm not even sure that I can
cope with it and it may be another thing I just don't do after all.
Your prayers for us all would be much appreciated. Please write me also if
you want. Will things ever get better? I am beginning to think that that
won't happen for me until I reach Heaven's door so please, Lord, hurry up
with that one!
