The Mona saga...

So, I started out a bit depressing in that last post. Sorry. I suppose I should elaborate. Mona has created quite the drama the past couple of weeks and has enveloped all our efforts, mentally, emotionally and physically. She was sick for a week, and then proceeded to poop a baby sock. Yay, problem solved, right? Wrong. Still sick and then threw up an adult ankle sock. Oh good, now we don't need to worry, right? Nope. Then she stopped eating and drinking. We had been communicating with the vet the whole week and finally decided it was time to get an x-ray. The x-ray didn't show anything, but she was not getting any better. After waiting another 24 hours and no good news to report, we decided to let the vet do surgery. So Mona was spayed and a third sock was removed from her small intestine. Oh man, it was stressful. Thankfully, not as expensive as it could have been. And now she is pretty much fully recovered without any complications. If only she knew that it was the sock that made her so sick. on top of all that life has just been super stressful and full for John with work and school. And we ended up canceling our thanksgiving travel plans which was disappointing. But all is well now. John will be done with school in two weeks or less and Christmas is on it's way! I keep saying that I am looking forward to when things slow down a bit, but I think I need to start telling myself that this is life, and it doesn't slow down...I just need to learn to run faster so I can keep up and enjoy the pace without losing my breath so easily!
