LarrysGirl

I'm so sorry for the loss of your beloved husband. I hear the pain and see it in your words. No doubt, you are feeling total disbelief. Like you, even though my Larry was sick, we never expected him to die. We thought he would get his transplant and we would finally get to do all the things we dreamed of together. Walking on the beach with our dogs, him getting to see the Dallas Cowboys play, just simple things but when we were together we were happy. I, too, told friends and family, let me go, don't be sad, I will be with him. I still feel that way and I lost him 9 years ago. I miss him every day and when something happens that makes me smile, I immediately think of him, knowing he would be happy too. Right now for you, its one day at a time, a minute at a time. Grieving is a life time process. THIS Site will be a wonderful source of support and comfort. Lots of understanding. If it had not been for the other members on this site and Marty, I would not be here. I didn't want to die but it seemed impossible to stay alive. I am here. It's not easy. I will miss him always and so will you. Deborah

She figured out the peanut butter trick, lol. I still try to get in into her mouth and eventually she swallows it. She's caught on to pretty much everything I've tried cheese, lunch meat, etc. and like Anne said I've put a pill in her food before and its always still sitting there when she's done. The vet said don't let her chase rabbits or anything (no kidding). I just brought her in from using the bathroom and what goes past us????? a black cat, well she leaped and of course now is holding her leg up. Oh for heaven sakes Larry please help me.

Thank you all, No my vet requires payment immediately on the spot, I was short 54.00 and they've already called twice. I will have to borrow the rest from my brother. I have 3.00 in my checking acct. now. It gets hard not to feel defeated when I try so hard. I'm grateful the diagnosis wasn't worse. She did seem to sleep well last night, I was able to get one pill in her before bedtime. Deborah

Update: She has torn the muscle surrounding her hip joint on one side and has a tiny fracture in her hip. Sent home w/meds and have to go back in 2 weeks. No running, jumping etc. The vet said these can heal but if she is not better in 2 weeks they want to do a more intensive xray, putting her to sleep with dye and stuff. I so so tired, worried myself sick over this. She's asleep now. 300.00 dollars later. Thankful its no worse. It just doesn't leave me much to go on. Thanks everyone for their prayers, it means so much. Heading upstairs to rest, Deborah

Appt at 2:30 est. Kay she's getting alittle older and doesn't have a thick coat, she actually shivers, lol. God bless her.

Thanks Anne, I'm so tired I just couldn't find how to attach but I did it. Will let you guys know tomorrow, hope I can sleep.

Here she is, trying to keep her warm, my Maggie!

I can't remember how to insert a picture, someone plz tell me and I'll post Maggie.

Coming to my family here, need some prayers and positive energy sent my way for my dog Maggie. She slipped a few days ago, we have a huge kitchen area that is ceramic tile. She went spread eagle with her back legs. She has tall very skinny legs and she went down. She's limping, will put the leg down but hobbling to go outside to the bathroom. She can sit down to do her business, isn't crying out but it hasn't improved. I've held off because of the cost of another vet bill. I made an appt. tomorrow (friday) for her. Please send prayers that it's just a pulled muscle. She's the sweetest girl, my companion. I would do anything for her but if you don't have enough money to live, it makes life hard knowing I will have to pay this bill. Maggie is a long legged foxhound, looks like a tri color beagle but tall and long. Larry and I adopted her when she was 8 weeks old from the spca. All of this stress, along with some family issues, has caused my balance to go off again and Christmas I could barely walk. Prayers please my friends. Love you all!! Deborah

OMG KAY, can you hear my yelling????? I'm glad you felt like doing that but seriously...... give yourself a chance to recover. We LOVE you!! please for us... take it easy. Deb

I'm very proud of you and glad that you are home. Yes, I wish George was there too! My Maggie has those conversations and she talks back at me like a teenager when I tell her no, lol. Sending lots of love to you and a speedy recovery, Deb

Keeping Kay in my prayers and love today. Deborah

Love this picture Kay, such a happy time with George. Such cherished memories we have! On a funny note, Larry always dressed accordingly.... Red sweater and green turtleneck and Christmas socks!! makes me laugh now, my family is so stoic they didn't know what to think of it. I LOVED every minute of it!!!

Kay, boy do I get that, people that haven't been in our shoes, if I'm sick no one is coming knocking on my door to help. Last year when I had the flu and barely any groceries, I remembered a small asian place that delivered, I ordered several bowls of the chicken and rice soup and lived off it for days. Its frightening to feel that sick and still have to walk the dog in the rain, while having the chills and fever. But I survived, wouldn't wish this on anyone. I am so praying for you and a rapid recovery. If you need to talk call me, love you, Deborah
