Gladys Doctor Visit Today



Gladys had to go to the doctor's office today because her wound from last month's surgery has not healed correctly. Normally, I don't handle human or bovine open wounds without getting light headed and feeling like I am about to faint, but today I did very well. I was surprised to see at least a two inch long opening whereby I could see her lower leg bone and all kinds of tissue that shouldn't been seen by anyone. I took a picture but I shouldn't post it becuz it is gross. They settled on wound care instead of surgery. Gladys was wiped out but not in pain. Notice that she is buckled down to the stretcher? Yes, she was medically transported from Mission Carmichael to Kaiser Roseville.

My Sadiekins

Everybody says that if you have a border collie you need to give them a job. Well guess what Sadie will be doing with her new back pack? Hauling something around while we go for walks. I bought her this cute dog back pack today at Petsmart. She is a very smart girl and she is very interested in her new back pack.

Creating a Dinosaur...

This is Sean planning his create a dinosaur project...

SEWING PROJECT

I am in Los Angeles and I went to Downtown LA to purchase some fabric to make myself some shirts. This is the first shirt that I made, and it is not finished yet as you can see from the collar area. But it does give you a small amount of pleasure being able to sew something together. Did I mention that this fabric was only $1.50 per yard? Isn't that a great price for a shirt?

Gladys Update

Gladys was taken in to Kaiser hospital last Sunday because of her Diabetes. Her toes on her left foot turned black and needed to be treated. The doctor performed an amputation about half way down passed her knee! She has been having a hard time recovering with all the pain and the loss of her mobility. When you go to see her in the hospital she is usually asleep. Donna allowed me to snap this picture when I was there today. She has been at the hospital for a week, and the next stop is a convalescent home.

You Know Your Stressed When...

I went to the bathroom at work yesterday, and in my hussle to get my business done, and be out of the way for the next teacher, I didn't notice that I left the bathroom with tp hanging out from my pants. I was mortified when a male colleague of mine had to help me notice my problem!


This is a true story, that made me feel totally embarrassed.

I hope whomever reads this gets a good laugh..

By the way, the Carriage Drive house is up for sale they are asking for $159,900.
