[QUOTE=ddsun] **Gotti** which horsepital were you at? [/QUOTE] I was at Sutter California at the far end of SF, but would have greatly preferred Sutter Delta in Antioch. It was over six hours round trip travel time to get there, but if you want to get in with the best surgeons, you have to drive in rush hour traffic. Left the house at 6:30, arrived at hospital at 9:45. Surgery was right on schedule and we left at 4:00 to get home at 7:30. :eek: The dogs were very happy to see us! The Rainbow Bridge is crowded this week. ☹ Some Faire friends had to put down one of theirs earlier this week and another friend’s dog got bit by a snake and had a paw on the bridge, but managed to come back. ---

We had pizza here too. My dad is out getting drunk with a friend. Considering that he got a really weird email at 3 AM from my mother, who also sent this email to someone from the newspaper, and the email is about things that are more disturbing than I want to think about, I don’t blame my father. Why can’t I just have a family without crazy people in it. I know that sounds mean. I don’t know. And to those who say well, everyone has crazy people in their family, well, at least not everyone has family members who are both crazy and disturbing. My mother says things that make no sense. I hope I am making sense. I worry that someday I’ll go off the rails like my mother. So, if I ever say things here that make no sense, someone please tell me. ---

Home again. and happy to be here. I have been declared healthy by everybody who should know. My computer is back to normal, so I guess it’s happy to be home too. {{{ **Sticky** }}} I’m sorry. **Butters** I hope you are feeling better by now. I used to get drunk 4 times a year whether I needed it or not. Then it was twice a year. Now I couldn’t tell you the last time. I probably should though, sometimes you just need to blow off steam.

Today she is having trouble walking and is clearly in pain. My dad is taking her to the vet in a little bit. Much love and prayers your way. Been there and I still feel the pain. But its better than never having known that kind of affection. ---
