Yo from the Yoopers!!!
The last week has been kind of busy – we trained on Monday and Tuesday
and then went to an impromptu visit with my back pain doctor on Wednesday for a
consultation – the 2 injections he has done on the T7,8,9 facet joints has not
changed the pain I have in my middle back = so he suggested a different
approach bathing the spinal cord around the backside with steroid – as I write right now it seems to
have worked!!!
So we fed Tuesday and then left about 3:30 and thought we
had a room in Cadillac for the nite – got there and they were booked up with
people doing outside construction work!!!!!
We said “well it looks like it will be easiest to just go home for the
nite………….and called Dee to say “please
start a fire in the house for us” and when we got home it was perfectly toasty
inside (it helped that the temp was almost 50 degrees that day and somewhat
sunny) The pain in the but part is that any time we come home
you have to turn on the water and the gas and then when you leave drain the
pipes and antifreeze them and turn off the gas…………..
We did have a list of things we had not brought with that we
forgot so it was good to get those and bring them back north – not to mention I
had a bazillion Christmas presents
to wrap and check on for our family
Christmas on December 17th in Fremont at Spanky’s Pizza =
So went to the
consultation and got an explanation of the new “approach” and agreed (hope it
works cause I may not come back if it doesn’t???......) scheduled for 1:50 pm
on Thursday… we went directly from the
office to Red Lobster and had my favorite- crab legs! Then shopped at Sam’s Club for some rice for
dogs and a few other things and then to our hotel on 28th
street. Good nite rest and good breakfast
in the morning and then more shopping for Christmas and me and then the
injection at 1:50 – went well and I hope I am not imagining it but it feels
like it might have worked this time!!!
Have to stop in Newberry for some non-ethanol gas for the 4
wheeler and then home and bed traand training dogs tomorrow!!!
Trained short both Friday and Saturday due to the warm weather -- did have some passing practice with the Caldwell's 9 dog team today - about 20 passes in an hour -we did see improvement in our team not getting distracted!
Going to church tonite and shopping for still some more things I have forgotten for Christmas and more food........always more food!!!
