Too Much

Thanks for all the well wishes. My dad did good. It was difficult news, though. He did have a heart attack they think, though it was mild. They found a 95% blockage in a large coronary artery and have stented it. We feel blessed about it all in hindsight now, because we still have my dad. The doctor said had it not been treated, he wouldn’t have survived. He was a very, very lucky man.

However, at 2:00 a.m. last night, my sweet doggie, Lucy (the white dog in the photo next to Charlie), who developed a cough in the past week, had a seizure, stroke or something where she sat up, panted really hard, coughed, she cried out in pain and collapsed, though she didn’t go unconscious. It took her system for a loop. She got terribly weak, but she seems to have recouped now, though she has been struggling with appetite and other issues for 4 to 6 weeks.

I feel like life has carved out my insides. I can’t endure another emotional pain right now. I hope my doggy is ok. We are taking her to the vet later this afternoon. Please forgive me if I am absent for a few days…
