It's All About ME!

Well, we're still here

So, it seems that the world didn't end as everyone was saying that it would. That's a good thing from my point of view. Even though life may be a bit cruel sometimes, being alive is still better then the alternative.

So, what's been going on... A lot, but then again, not much.

My health is still a small problem. The ears are still bad, so I get to go back to the doctors next week (yah!!!) and get them to FINALLY refer me to someone that might be able to do something about it. This has been a frustrating two months with the continued problems with not hearing well, and the pain/discomfort that's come from it all. Hopefully I'll get it done soon... but I won't hold my breath.

There's a few things that are the same as always. Money is tight, I'm not going out anywhere near as much as I should be, and I'm doing more work then I should be. But, I can't complain to much about that. See, there's other things that are going wrong at the moment that make all that seem insignificant.

Our old dog, Dante, has got his own health problems, and to be honest, he's failing fast. He's had bad arthritis for years, and it's now gotten to the point where he can't stand up, walk, move, or do anything for himself as his back legs just don't have the strength to do anything any more. I've been fearing this day for a long time, and I think that it's finally here. Dante's been my families best mate for almost 11 years now, and seeing him like this is tearing me apart. I can't stand the idea of letting him go, but I can't stand the idea of him suffering like he is now. I am about 99% sure of what we need to do... but it's hard. And I also have to make sure that sis is in agreement. First thing that needs to be done is to get him to the vet to see if there is anything more that can be done that we're not doing now. From what has been done up until this point, I don't think that there is. He's on injections every two weeks, plus 4 tablets a day to try and control things there, and it's just not working. So, I'll see what goes on there. And yes, as you can imagine, everything else is pretty much taking a back seat to this at the moment.

So, that's it for now. Hopefully it won't be quite as bad as I think it will be. Hopefully.
