Interesting Family Situations
Mitch has been gone the better part of this week and will be gone again next week to Dallas. This week it has been Michigan, Chicago, and Philadelphia. When this happens I get major dog duties. The good news? Gentle leaders!! They are the absolute best for handling dogs and making sure they don't go all over. Our dogs are about 95 pounds each and so 200 pounds of dog out weighs me by a bunch. With my hips the way they are and my spine the way it is, I must be extremely careful about what I do. However, I have been working so hard at getting stronger that my body is responding very well and the dogs are not pulling or rushing other dogs etc and so everyone is happy and well adjusted. Wow. Now isn't that just fantastic!! It is also nice having people who I can call for dog duties if I simply can't walk one day, but it is also nice knowing that I am capable and strong.
So, it's going to be trips to the Mayo in my future! But I am more than happy to help and be of service to my parents. We will be having a family discussion on Sunday and that will be a very good thing. My step-mother is taking her diagnosis and her surgery schedule and appointments to prepare in such an exceptional manner that I don't know how she does it! I am watching so that I can act the way she does. No drama, just get the thing out of me! Ha. What a great way to proceed. I will keep you posted on the outcomes and what we will be doing as a family. I think we are a very good family and we come to each other in service and help and that is such a good thing. I am wanting to make sure that my father is able to assist his wife without having to worry about anything else...so the everything else is going to be my department, I hope anyway.
Okay. more later...enjoy this beautiful day God has given us.
