Tonight's picture was taken in October of 2006. As the weather begins to change now, and I see pumpkins on display in stores, it reminds me of Fall festival season with Mattie. Every weekend we took Mattie to a different fair, and with each one we went to, our collection of pumpkins increased at home.
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.
- Number of people diagnosed with the virus: 42,487,004
- Number of people who died from the virus: 680,166
As of today, we have lived in the house for a month, but we have been fixing things since June. I am waiting for the day when a contractor of some sort isn't in the house! Today wasn't such a day. The team working on sealing holes in the walls and dry walling came back today. All the repairs have been made and now I meet with painting company on Friday to discuss painting the laundry room and garage. I wasn't planning on painting the garage, but given the extensive damage that was made there to correct electrical issues, we have no choice but to address it now. It will be lovely to have an operating laundry room. Since we moved in, one repair after the other has been happening there!
Peter went to pick up Sunny today, while I was at the house with contractors. Sunny came home stupefied from pain meds, but I know that is better than the alternative. They have Sunny on antibiotics, pain meds, and an anti-inflammatory. We are supposed to keep him calm, on a leash, and with limited mobility for two weeks. At that point, the doctor will examine his healing process and hopefully can start physical therapy.Sunny has two shaved legs. One from the surgery, and a front leg where they hooked up an IV. I am saddened to see Sunny's shaved legs again. As we have been through this over and over again with him, starting with when we rescued him.... he was heartworm positive, and needed IV treatments, which meant all the fur on his legs were shaved.
They have given us this towel like sling to help Sunny walk. Though he is out of it, I figured he needed to go outside for a comfort stop. It took some time, but he was successful. There is so much to balance here, and now we are adding Sunny's rehab to the mix. All I can say is... it hasn't been a good week.
