Vix - while things still sound difficult, I am proud of your attitude!  I am so relieved to hear that all has gone well with you second LR!  Formal PT can really help when you NEED it, but when you you really don't, I can see where it might be one more thing to add to your long list of mom-wife-employee things to do!  I hope you can just do a home program!!

I konw how empty your home must feel without your pup.  I really agree that it is harder to get on after the loss of all the unconditional, stress-relieving and joyfull love that dogs, and pets in general, give!  :'(

Good luck saving for your house!!!  D!@&$^$  computers - they seem to be trusted more than human logic!  It makes NO sense that YOU have to figure out and pay for their mistake!  AARGH!  >:( I hope lawyers can help you correct the error!

Love and hugs!

Dear Vix:

You are really doing GREAT!  You just seem to have such a tremendous amount of strength, even after all you've been through, and I admire you so much.  It sounds as though your surgery went very well, and if you don't have to have formal PT and can do it on your own, then I guess that's good.  Your ROM already seems fantastic!

As for the frickin-frackin computer mess up...you're probably right that the best thing to do now is to just get the money together to save the house, and then go after the source of the problem after the fact.  It does no good to fight the system if the end result is that you could lose your home - even if you're right.  Right and homeless is not where you want to be!

I hope each day gets a little easier for you since your little puppy died.  I know it has taken me a long time after the loss of any of my dogs - they're just such sweet little souls.  

Good luck in your recovery...hugs to you!

Holly

 You know what -

you sound like a really nice person.  A lot of really crappy stuff is happening to you right now.  You can't take care of everybody else's problems.  You have got to take care of yourself, especially when everything else is falling apart.  Get your knee taken care of, take the time out of work and don't go back until you are ready.  You will find another, better job if you have to.  As for your family, they don't realize how lucky they are to have you, but they will.

Hang in there - we're all on your side!
