So they still haven't had you seen by an Orthopaedic doctor yet? It sounds like they hoping that you will die of old age before they have to treat you for anything.
As for the lady that wanted the puppy. She knew just enough to say the right words, but there had been clues. She is on a fixed disability income, and has multiple health problems. I felt bad for her, so I was making things work. Still I knew that she really couldn't afford a pet, and sure enough as soon as one of her brothers got sick she needed money to go help him out. She hadn't even completely paid for the pup yet. She wanted to pay me off so that she could sell the puppy, but I opted to refund what she had already given me. I didn't want one of my puppies bouncing around from home to home. It was a blessing that this all happened on a payday for DH and I. I am still out the cost of nearly 450 miles on my car, and the microchips. I don't know though that I regret having tried to help her. She did watch at least one of the puppies during the week that my kitchen was remolded. So I'm going to put this down to the cost of doggy daycare. lol It helped to have fewer dogs underfoot that week.
I'm delighted your back amongst the group here again.
Thanks! it's good to see you too!
I just had too much stuff going on this summer with all my goats and chickens and ducks that I couldn't spend much time on anything else! Well at least she gave it back and didn't sell it out from under you!! Yea, in this economy it's tough enough to feed ourselves and make sure we are healthy let alone an animal, and I have taken a huge hit this year on my ducks! I have advertised on CL 4 or 5 times and not one call or email! Next year I'm gong to be collecting eggs and incubating, this is BS!! and my husband and I got into it acouple time about the amount of money I've spent on adult breeding stock and the fact that I haven't made a fricken cent on them! I love my ducks but, they have 13 -16 ducklings a hatch at approx three hatches per hen per season, your talking a lot of ducks! So, until I can get a market for them, I am going to be hatching artificially.
That's a lot a dang miles girl!! Well, wishing you good luck on finding great homes for the rest!!
Oh BTW the Va takes a long time to get into, and I had to call my gp several times to find out if he put in another consult request, that was in late aug, haven't heard from him or his nurse at all! I had to call up to Seattle three times, then I finally asked the guy in Ortho, what can I do? My doctor won't return my calls and I need this ortho consult, the guy gave me the pain dr's number who did my joint injection, she was the one that had put the original in, I had to call there twice, but, with in a week, they called me and said they had sent an email to the pain doc, then ortho called me the next day!! so I called the pain docs receptionists and said THANK YOU!! you accomplished in one week, what my GP couldn't do in three months!!
Oh, I changed docs, and I'm now going to the Yakima VA, it's much closer to home and I will have a DR not a PA, it might make a difference, my first apt is with her tomorrow!!
