[MaxandMe]

HI everyone and wow we've got lots of GREAT new members with really good sense of humor!!!

I had cervical surgery on Thanksgiving and it was worse than the tests showed so i woke up looking for stiches on my hip for bone fusion
INSTEAD they took out the discs and replaced them with Leggo type Titanium and had very extensive nerve repair to do.
Sooooooooo here it is 9 or 10 weeks later and finally i can drive the past week but only short distances.
OR rather even if i don't drive i am worn out if i leave the house for 3hours hahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I also was sleeping 14 to 16hours a night for weeks.....now i am getting on a regular schedule most days

anyway being able to finally turn my neck almost fully side to side is AWESOME!!!
i start physical therapy in MARCH


I have written 2 more new articles that i'll post soon.

************************************************** ************************************

NOW the fun part, belive it or not Max has helped me sooooo much and also both peanut n max have been great companions!
I have trained them without using a whistle to go outside without me for potty and play time in the snow and come back
if i call them. All for a rasberry.........they love them!!!!
i've been doing this for 2mos with them now as i can't walk outside in the snow yet.

we've also grown closer ....doodles n me. MAX is now considered a medic alert dog and i won't go into to it
but he saved me from a bad medical reaction one night and aided me walking around and up stairs when my balance
and/or meds made it difficult for me to get around in my house. DAVE was shocked to see this.
MAX also broke a few falls for me and i landed on him.

Peanut snuggled up to me forehead to forehead when i had migraines due to dyes.

Doodles ARE AWESOME and seem to really sense things and i can't describe the closeness and love i have for them in words
and will miss them when i go back to work hopefully no later than may.


Anyway........it's great to be back !!!! and i've been reading catching up on so many posts and
I'd like to say HI and Welcome to the forum to any newbies i may have missed


soooooooooooooooo i'm backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk hahhahahaaaaaaaaaaaa


PS I am finally going to MARRY DAVE next JUNE or AUGUST (2011)as i haven't set the date yet. I have a CINDERALLA TYPE OF DRESS that was handmade

Welcome back and congrats!!

[Sakas Mama]

So great to have you back!!! Glad that you have your doods to take care of ya! They sure are great! I remember when I was just on bed rest and Saka would NOT leave my side for 3 days without Lee practically pulling him off the bed so he would potty and eat his food! Congratulations on your wedding!!! I hope the doods will be in attendance! hehe

Believe it or not MAX and Peanut have laid by my side since last September ...and then i had surgery Thanksgiving
and to-date they rarely leave my side still. They've been trained to go out off leash on 6 acres without me. amazing how
you can train these doodles.
