April 15, 2001 Happy Easter All!! It has been a very hectic past couple of weeks and when I get home I am usually too beat to type. Maybe throw in some laundry- and prepare supper. I’ll try to catch up alittle. One of my Dr. customer’s wrote me the Prscription to get the blood work(ca15-3) , so once payday got here, I hustled my butt to the lab on Monday. This Lab has lower prices and offers discount to cash payments. And the lab lady-Cordelia- was SO Sweet! So my thanks to Dr. Z and Cordelia for helping this to happen and be a pleasant experience. It was only $80. The results should be in this weekend. Then I will make a decision concerning work, and how to get enough $ in here to continue with my treatments and helping with the bills. I KNOW I am not getting enough rest- and I am working my body too hard to allow it to heal. And am generally too tired to do the “inner” work that is also needed. So we’ll see what comes to pass. We had Jay’s dog -Mishka last weekend while Jay went out of town. Kanji perked right up. (He has been pining ever since Roc passed over) And the minute Mishka left- he started moping again. We’ve been concerned as he was loosing weight and lost the brightness in his eyes. So Weds. we went to the pound and found him a baby sister (I wanted a female to eliminate the aggression factor of 2 males- especially with Kanji being 2/3 wolf.) They told us she was a “Kuvasc”, about 4 mos. old. After checking on the net and in their books- looked like she’d go about 80 lbs. and about 28” tall. Still a good sized critter but only about 1/2 what Roc was. She‘s a pretty white with some charcoal and tan markings, and the most Beautiful Doe eyes you’d ever want to look into. When we picked her up from their Vet on Thurs. afternoon, boy did we get a surprise! The Vet who is a lady quite familiar with her breeds and their structures, etc. informed is we had a Great Pyrenees, and she was 5 1/2 mos. old and weighed 37.5 lbs(that has increased by at Least 5 lbs. in 3 days!). The Great Pyraneeswas the root stock of the Saint Bernard and The Newfoundland. She’ll go over 100 and and above 30” at shoulders. Oh well, that’s still less than Roc. Kanji and she became instant buddys. Considering the fact she was weak and shaky from surgery that AM, she stood and let him sniff her, (he never smelled a girl before), until he got his nose too close to her sore belly- then she just raised her lip- didn’t even snarl- and he said,”Oh,’scuse me!” ,and backed off. She has a beautiful majestic temperment, very loving and, now as she’s settling in, we’re seeing some oneryness. Smakin’ Kanji on the nose with her”dainty” front paw- figuring out how to get the latch to her pen open.,(we put her in the pen for a while yesterday to protect her from too much roughhousing until her stitches healed- so much for our idea)... hang on folks- we’re in for another ride.!! We went to see Betty and Roger yesterday- up north near Doyle,Ca. A beautiful ride, wonderful lunch and Great to finally meet with a lady I have been communicating with since this all started. She is doing Wonderful! No Chemo- surgery and alternative. Their spread is a peaceful one, and you can feel all the love put back into Mother Earth by them. She presented me with 8 huge boxes of fabric for quilting and other things, and a hemmer, and some other goodies. She doesn’t need them anymore and I know-felt it would be her way to help me do what I need to do, as she persues what she needs to do. Amazing how what we feel are disasters in our lives- especially where our health is concerned, can pull complete strangers into friends(actually just 2 old spirits joining up again). Frank and Roger hit it off the same way- so it is good. The Granma Lizard car has been having oil leak problems for a while- but the trip yesterday proved to Frank he would have to figure out why- 4 quarts of oil later. Time to go check the turkey that’s on the grill, and get some salad made and some Sweet Taters going. Jay is here and hope Chris can get loose from working long enough to get a “real meal”. It is a windy but warm day and after the wet(which we need) and 30-40’s we had last week a welcome change. But we can’t complain here in Nev. It’s really been a mild (and TOO dry) winter. |
