Hello Mid-April

April 17th, 2011 at 07:43 pm

Wow. I can’t believe we’re halfway through April already, and I didn’t even do any April goals. Whoops!

I’ve been spending the last few weeks getting work ready for me to take a weeklong vacation. It finally arrived! I am officially on vacation and it’s wonderful!

About a week and a half ago, I finally went to the doctors. I was tired of feeling tired. It got so bad it affected my work performance and that ticks me off. I am a very productive person with a great work ethic and here I was coming in late, doing little, and leaving early. So I went to the doctors for feeling “wiped”. 5 vials of blood later and I find out I was low on Vitamin D. They put me on a vitamin program to jump start my system. I have never felt better. Not looking forward to the bill for the visit and the blood tests, but it was worth it.

Unfortunately, I had to take one of our family dogs to a specialty vet. She had cataracts, and now to find out she also has glaucoma. In other words, she’s going blind and there’s pretty much nothing we can do. She’s 10 years old. I have to start facing the fact that her, and our other family dog (also 10yrs) are getting old. First her sister had two knee surgeries this year, and now she is going blind. That’s a tough pill to swallow.

So I think my April goal is to enjoy my week off. I will spend it snuggling with the pups, getting things done around the house, and hopefully get a few crafts done. Plus, I get to hang out with my nieces and one of my oldest friends at some point this week. It’ll be nice.

    Many years ago I had a poodle that went blind at 10. She got along just fine as long as I never moved the furniture. She could follow us when she heard our voice. She lived to be my oldest dog and died at age 20. Don't lost hope for your pups!

    @Ima - Thanks for that. It made my week a lot better hearing what you said. We went to a follow up vet visit and we have her good eye under control, so she'll be able to see for hopefully several more months. :-)

    @Scottish Girl - Thanks!

    I have been reading recently about Vitamin D deficiency, and it sounds like that really did lead to some symptoms for you... even with the bill (with or without insurance) I hope it should not be too terrible of a financial hit. The main thing is that it leads to you feeling better!
