Blonde + Roller Skates = Double Fracture

Yup ....I'll probably go roller skating again, being how us blondes are known for not being toooo bright! I used to absolutely love going skating. Even though I fell, I did really good (no kidding). I was skating forwards, backwards and turning and it had been 12+ yrs. I know, I know.... I still fell. Honestly though it was while exiting from the smooth rink to the new carpeting ....... it was like hitting the brakes on the wheels although the top half of me still had the momentum !!!!

Oh, went back to the dr yesterday. He said that it has a definite fracture and possibly another one and a piece of the elbow broke off and is just floatin' 'round in there. Hmmmm, that can't be good!

So yeah ... I'll probably go back,maybe next time I wont fall down and go boom. Besides, what kind of example would I be sending my boys if I fell and didn't stand up, dust myself off and try again!

I decided NOT to act my age!!!!!!!!!!!

We'll recently I decide NOT to act my age .... I took my boys rollerskating.

It's been 12 years for me, but by golly I WENT, I SKATED ..... and then I fell!

Today I killed My Best Friend

Title sounds horriffic, quite frankly that's how I feel. I had to put my beloved doberman to sleep. She hadn't ate in 48 hours and she just was acting very lethargic. No to mention she poopied nothing but a stream of blood. It was time. I love my friend, but she doesn't deserve to suffer. I feel so depressed though.

Dear Roxy

Dear Roxy,

I sit here as I type this letter and watch your breathing. Every breath, a testimonial to the life you've lived. I remember when you came running over to see my son who was then one and a half. You were happy, loving and most of all, chosen. You were chosen to be our beloved addition. You have grown over the years, as have the boys. You have played with them, wrestled with them and at times been a friend to them. You truly love those kids. We have been through much together, from life, love and even separation.

We thought we lost you for good after our awful car accident and you were left behind the scene ... 100's of miles from home, injured. We didn't know how or if we'd ever see you again, or if you were even alive. Thanks to a kind man who found you a week later and back tracked to a vet that would treat your wounds until they found us. We were reunited two weeks after the accident when I felt I was able to travel short distances. You were so happy to see me and licked my face. I broke down crying with relief, joy and hurt for your injuries. You healed, just as I did, in time and we have been inseparable since. The mere thought of losing you AGAIN tears me up! Now, you're 7.5 yrs old, a good age for my girl, but not a graceful age. You have begun to have health issues (seizures, body masses, swollen joints) that have me fearing the loss of you again.

Each night as I lay down to sleep, you come and curl up with me. You keep me warm you make me feel secure and safe. You make me feel loved. I fear that the day is coming near, but I will do what is right by you. I do not want you to suffer. Although, my dear Roxy, I'd want you here with me forever.

I love you!
Mom
