Now this is what I need for Percy! We will be doing the next best thing however....after a trip to Lowe's last night, hubby has all that he needs to make a doggy wheelchair for him. Soon, Percy will be able to move around on his own with a brand new set of wheels. I have to look for some flame decals to decorate it with....he is feeling the same, still no strength to speak of in his hind legs. I talked to the vet's office and they said to keep him on the higher dose of steroids until Saturday, so that they have a better chance of working. I hope they do because I want Percy to feel better....and because pretty soon I'm going to be stealing the pills for MY back! I am so sore everywhere....my legs are throbbing from "proper lifting"....
I could kick myself this morning....yesterday gas was $2.68 at my usual gas station and I decided to fill up after picking wee one up from school. Well, I forgot....and this morning as I took my empty van to the station, I pulled up to $2.81 a gallon. WTH? A 13 cent jump overnight....crap. I knew it would jump, but I was hoping for the best. So, $47 later, I have a full tank and an empty wallet. Of course, I don't feel as bad as the guy who filled up before me....as the pump read $75. And I probably shouldn't complain because my gas lasts at least 2 weeks....of course that means I don't go anywhere. I'm getting a little sick of sitting inside all the time. Then again, it's so hot and humid, who wants to be outside? (Yes, I am DEPRESSED because of the weather!!!!)
I have 1/2 of my house cleaned so far. It's 8:46 am. I want to be done early so that I can finish my sewing today and start on that craft that I mentioned how long ago? I had to run out and get everything I needed, immediately after seeing it....and here it sits....gathering dust. Sometimes I wish I could be one of those people who can throw organization to the wind and do what they want on a whim. Sometimes.
However, when that happens I just neatly bottle up the feelings, cork it, and put it on my alphabetically organized shelf of emotions that I store deep in the pit of my stomach, to the left of my ulcer. Trust me, you don't want to be around when that shelf breaks!
Okay, I'm off to clean and contemplate the meaning of life....have a great Friday....

Okay, if you are not organized than what am I?!?! You are the most together woman in J-land who are you kidding!! I think that jetpack for Percy would be a great idea. LOL! Leave it to your wonderful hubby to think of a doggie wheelchair. Percy is very lucky to have people that love him so much. :)
Hugs and love,
Lisa
what a great idea for percy! Im sure he is bummed just sitting around.
We are out of regular gas here at our local gas stations. We are hoping they have some more in today. For some reason our gas prices dont go up often.. maybe it has to do with living on base and utilizing their resources. Have a good day! and hope your back feels better.
I have known dogs to do very well with their wheel chairs...Sherry, you are such a good mom to Percy...and I bet he shows you his love everyday...bless your sweet heart. This really touched me, the love and devotion you have for him...
I hope Percy does well with the "wheelchair". Maybe you could put your organization/cleaning skills to use helping others get organized. I bet you could make some $ doing that and you'd get out with people and get your fix as well. I know I'd love someone to come in here and help with that.
If you find the meaning of life....will you let me on it? I think I'm clueless. Hugs Lanny
You never know, Percy's wheel chair might be a great invention. You guys could patent it, and make lots and lots of $$$. Have enough to move to NC where the weather changes. LOL... Now there is a day dream sit and think about that one for a minute. ;0)
You need to turn down the thermostat and put on a sweat shirt. Burn a candle that smells "fallish". That might help. Hey, maybe those of us that are having to rake the leaves should bag them up and mail them to you. You could pour them over your yard. Since it is so hot you couldn't go out and rake them, but you could look out the window from your airconditioned home and think about how you need to rake them. LMAO. Just a suggestion.
My husband has Seasonal Depression, I think. He gets so down during the winter. He used to live in Florida (Fort Meyers) and he loved it. I just don't think I would like it myself....
Okay, enough rambling. Sorry about that.

I set aside a weekend every year where I don't do anything but what I want to, AT THAT MOMENT. It's a fun weekend to have. And if I get one, you deserve at least TWO! It can be great for the soul to escape the routine now and then...

That's so neat that John is going to make Percy a doggie wheelchair. He's just a building machine, isn't he?
I did the same thing with gas... saw it for $2.69 on the way home, then on the way to work when I actually stopped, it was $2.75. Not as big a jump as you, but I did see a couple stations that were back up to $2.95 for regular. Aren't you glad I could inform you of the gas prices here? LOL Sorry 'bout that. Have a great weekend :)~Melissa
Your husband is so handy, building treehouses and doggy wheelchairs. I have a 7 year old miniature dachshund and about 3 years ago she blew a disk in her back. They weren't sure she would even recover. We kept her quiet, in her crate, sedated and quiet and also on steroids for about 4 weeks and then we got her a doggie wheelchair for her hind legs. (We bought ours though, my DH is not quite so handy.) Once she got that, she was running all over! (and bumping into EVERYTHING with those wheels, but she got used to it.) About 2 months later, she was back to her own self, doing all those things the Dr didn't think she would ever be able to do again (jump on the couch, go up and down the stairs, etc.) I wish you lots of luch with Percy and hope it all goes as well for him.
Jeanne
aww that's great that Percy will be getting his own wheelchair! Prayers for him....
I found a station yesterday, the only station that had it for 2.65 and it was Walmart! Everywhere else is above 2.80.
It's way too hot and humid....I want my Fall weather!
Gretchen
Your husband reminds me so much of mine! The two of them are always building something or inventing something to make things easier. I hope the wheelchair works! If you haven't found the lightning decals yet, try looking where the skateboards are sold in any store. My daughter loves those decals and buys them by the pack! Percy will look so cool! LOL
