-Monday was fine - I had no idea what the week would bring
-Tuesday - 5 new mice
-Wednesday - one of my pregnant coworkers had a medical emergency at work (fortunately it is a torn ligament in the side and she and the baby will be fine) - a 10 year old sucker punched me in the arm (it sure hurt) - I lost Precious
-Thursday - a 19 year old became aggressive when I wouldn't let him smash a glass door (I know, I am so unreasonable) and spit repeatedly in my face (I would rather get hit any day then get spat on), hit me and shoved me repeatedly against the door. My back was pretty sore Thursday night, but better Friday.
-Friday - we got terrible news.
First, my parents beloved dog Barley, was diagnosed with a tumour in his stomach. He will be kept comfortable and given a lot of love as surgery is not an option that will change the outcome.
Secondly, my 93 year old Grandmother had what they believe was a mild heart attack, and was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. She will require oxygen from now on.
Then the Man came home with a stomach bug he got from a 2 year old on Wednesday. (He will be fine, but Lady will be grumpy if she gets it).
Then the Man came home with a stomach bug he got from a 2 year old on Wednesday. (He will be fine, but Lady will be grumpy if she gets it).
I ask for some POTP for Barley and Grandmother. May they both be comfortable and not suffer needlessly.

I'm so sad that so much bad things came to you.... I'm so angry that thisn 19 year old freak did that to you... I agree with you, that's the last thing on earth... and there is probably not enough water in the ocean to wash it away, it hurts and it feels icky much more than a slap....
ReplyDeleteI cross my paws and I send hugs and POTP for your Granny and for Barley.... I'm so sorry that you got so much sad news ....
We are all crossing our paws here for Barley and for Grandmother. And for you too!!! We hope the weekend brings some rest for all. Life never seems very fair.

that is a rough week indeed - Mom understands - she was a social worker who worked in a counseling center for those with mental illness and addictions and had many such similar days.
ReplyDeleteOh Hailey, Phod and peeps we are so very sorry about Barley and your mom's Gma.
ReplyDeleteWe are for sure sending lots of Purrs that both be kept comfortable and pain free. We will add both to the POTP
Not the dreaded tummy bug. Mom's says she'd rather have a head cold any day. Little people are
for sure the breeding ground for germs.
Hugs madi your bfff
We hope Grandmother will be OK, and Barley will get to enjoy his human family for as long as possible.

It really was a bad week for you.......and we most certainly do send POTP for Barley the Brave pup and your Grandmom. That's pretty scary about the 19 year old - I'm sure (sadly!) that awful things happen to you frequently considering your work but hopefully, the "better days" out number the bad ones. Please take care of yourselves......all of you......you're in a LOT of peoples' prayers!
ReplyDeleteLove, Sammy and Mom Pam

I am so, so sorry about your week. I admire you for the work you do that I know has many challenges, but I know also has many rewards as well. Know that from my corner of Virginia, we are sending LOTS of POTP for peace, comfort and health. Also, just having lost Buddy to stomach cancer, for Barley, I'm sending extra POTP for him for many treasured days of grace for he and his family to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteTake care, I hope your weekend is peaceful and restful too.

Wow, that's a rough week. So sorry to hear about your grandma and about Barley. He's a handsome boy! My mom is also 90 and she's in rehab having just gotten out of the hospital after being diagnosed with C.H.F. It's not been fun to deal with so I know how that part is. Hope you don't get sick!
