Sorry it has been so long since I have posted.... My Mom is in rehab. She had to have major back surgery that was unplanned and has been in the hospital since Thanksgiving. She is now in rehab and doing very well. She hopes to go home in early Jan. Please keep her in your prayers, her name is Thelma Hayes. Thanks.
Sunny, my service dog, had to go back to CCI in CA sue to stress issues. She had some retraining and is being matched this week in a side placement (not Team Training for 2 weeks but a one on one with the handler and the CCI trainer). CCI flew her trainer, Katie, to ABQ and she took Sunny back to CCI. It was a very hard decision to make but it was the best thing for her. I am now on the national waiting list, since I am willing to travel, so I hope that the wait will not be too long.
I have my Christmas tree up as well as a few decorations. I really enjoyed the Cantata at church yesterday. Christmas day we will have our annual Christmas breakfast in El Centro. It is always a hoot to see the type of PJ's or robes that folks were. I found a cute pair of silk green PJ bottoms with reindeer's on them and I already had a red top with reindeer's on them so that is what I will wear. I have a flannel ones with holiday dogs on them but I have worn them the last 3 years so I thought I would switch things up a bit.
I go inpatient in Jan for my annual SCI evaluation Jan. 16th and then have my hand surgery on the 23rd. I have bone over growth in my left hand that has gotten bigger and bigger in the last 3 years so the surgeon will take the excess bone off.
Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year to everyone!
