DesiRayMom Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Yea!!!!! Desi & I thank you all for the good wishes, hugs, prayers, & white light.......they worked!!!! His ankle is still swollen today, but he's putting weight on it at last. Our trial run for lunch went fairly well. He's was very leery of that new ramp (dangerous things, they are), but we figured out that it I hug him around his chest really tight and stay right beside him with him halfway leaning on me.....it can be done. So we're HOME!!!!!!! He got a McD's cheeseburger for his birthday lunch, and a bully stick for later. The big prezzie was his new ramp. My brother is coming tomorrow to do a few modifications (I think gluing a piece of carpet on it will make it easier for him). I don't know who's happier, him or me (or is it he or I?) He's crashed out on his favorite bed & mama can start catching up on all the stuff that's been let go this week. (Mainly, sleep) He's on 2 different antibiotics, 3 different pain meds, plus all the usual supplements. Thank goodness he's easy to pill. I feel like now we have more time to figure out a plan to manage the back issue. Thank you all! Kathy & Desi Quote Blessed is the person who has earned the love of an old dog.
