It is a bittersweet Birthday, for I feel she will not be with us much longer. We have made her final arrangements for Thursday, god willing she doesn't tell me any sooner (but it would be like her to throw everything out of balance with a monkey wrench--((should have never raised her in a shop)) her timing has always been off) Maybe I've waited to long or not, I'm not really sure since I haven't done this since I was a young girl. I just kept hoping and praying for the last 2 weeks that she sprained a front leg but it's just not getting better & it's so hard to see her in pain. But despite the pain, she is able to come out and eat her meals & manages to hobble outside & down the ramp to do her business. (She is on meds & I feel like I'm just pumping them into her and I really hate that thought too)
It started about 2 months ago with Vin saying time was drawing near and that weekend I said no, there has to be something wrong. She had another UTI, things somewhat improved but I think helping her up the ramp with a towel instead of the harness damaged her one wrist. (carpal hyper-extension) I bought a brace and we had improvement again, to the point I felt we were out of the woods but then life came at us fast & furious. I bought a pool for doing hydrotherapy with her but haven't had the chance to even get it put up. I'm very mad at that fact, actually I'm very mad at a lot of things right now. But please know I will take care of my baby girl for as long as she wants me to & I will be with her until the very end, because I love her and her brother more than anything this life has given me.
She had a choice this morning of pizza or steak & Shrimp for dinner, don't you know it....she choose steak & shrimp! So tonight we celebrate her 10th birthday and a life well lived and shared with family that love her to infinity and beyond! Thoughts & prayers would be much appreciated.
(see how messed up things are right now, I thought today was the 28th and it's the 27th---so she'll get another choice again tomorrow, which is her actual birthday!
