    Goodmorning Dawn
    I am so sorry to hear about your dog. Even though everyone else is telling you to get a new puppy right now, I think that would be rather difficult with you in enforced bed rest to care for a needy puppy. THere's lots of time for that.

    I hope you can do exercises in bed to keep the rest of your body happy. (no, i really can't imagine)

    I check for posts from you every day. One day at a time, enjoy your dog now while she's there. You have so much more time to be with her. If you were working and cycling, you wouldn't have that much time
    Take care

    Big hugs, (((Dawn))). And feel free to share them with Brodie.
    Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

    doc says he is not considering surgery on the knees until the arm can better support me. if they "repair" the knees, the arm has to be able to bear weight. now, no way. i am able to stand for 15-20 minutes, walking, more like a 90 year old shuffling, but i get around. brodie is still acting like herself, eating everything in sight, sleeping, and cuddling. i pass the time xmas shopping (buy 2 get 3rd free wii games at toysrus, sierra trading 20% off with free shipping http://email.sierratradingpost.com/d...CBB340EB524FBB, and getting credit cards with $100-$200 in gift cards for signing up-the last is one of my favorite pasttimes.) i watch tv and my cooper sleep as well. so time passes...

    So Sorry

    Dawn, I was getting ready to send you another card, and saw your post about Brodie, so decided I'd jot you a quick note. I am so sorry.

    I agree with MimiTabby.

    You have many friends here who are more than willing to listen and offer a shoulder to lean on.

    I'm so sorry that everything seems to be piling up on you right now. Take time to make sure you're still taking care of your health -- with that on track, everything else will be easier.
