No more lifting for awhile, I promise. I would have asked a neighbor to help but given my emotional state I did not want to be around anyone even if for a brief "let me help" you one. I think everything is okay and will be okay inside - no pain, no swelling, etc. At least now my Great Dane, Gaston, can eat and be happy.

I really don't want to be mean or nasty toward him - there is already enough pain to go around for quite some time. He is hurting just as I am so the best we can do is be cordial and civilized toward one another.

I am going to the ride captain training session this afternoon and yes he will be teaching the class. I will be do my best not to strangle him in front of the other students Afterward, I'm meeting him at his place so I can gather my belongings and we can close this chapter in both of our lives. I do have some questions I want answered before I leave and close this chapter in my life. Time to move forward and not focus on the pain.
