It's Easier to Sit Behind a Computer than Live in the Real World!!!

I have posted a special prayer request for my husband's 4-legged baby, Angel....yep, in the correct section, I might add....I was a good girl. Today, we went to MS State Vet Clinic. It was an all day thing, which was cool with us if these guys could help her. We didn't have to spend the night like we thought we'd have to do....Praise God!

First of all, she does not have hip joint bone on bone in both hips.....there are some problems there, however, the main problem is HER LEFT KNEE! There was so much that wasn't done correctly for her that my blood started to boil. So I said to this wonderful vet, "So what you're saying is that our vet at home is an idiot." The people at MS State were so awesome including him not saying our vet is an idiot. We have taken our babies to this place since the daddy opened it out of vet school. Now the son runs it, but did confer with his daddy. It's not classified as malpractice, just error, like we all make. You guys know me, and you know that I push the envelope at times, but I'm conflicting within myself as I know I MUST FORGIVE. And, I will.......right after I put my foot up his behind! Okay, that made me laugh a little. My husband has been grieving and upset about this to the point of not sleeping well for way over a month. I feel so badly for him, HOWEVER, the Lord used this trial for better communication between them. That is positive.

The bottom line is that it is easier to preach it than live the walk of a Christian. My gut feeling about this trip today was peaceful before we even backed out of the driveway. I tried to convey that to my husband many times over the last amount of weeks, but he didn't want to face any of it and has caused us a rile or two. We rarely have riles anymore. 95% of fusses in a marriage doesn't even equal to the air used to fuss with. We pick our fusses, and let the rest of it slide because it just isn't worth it. This has been a very trying time. Spiritual warfare, to be sure.

And I have CANKLES! NOW WHAT IS THAT ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay.....I'm posting once again because I want you all to know that I have forgiven our vet. It's important for me to let you know that I do practice what I preach. It took me a day or so, but realized that he had to take x-rays while Angel was conscious and Ms State knocked her out, so that they could position her without problems. All animals, including human ones, get nervous when extensive tests are being run on them. I know I'll never get another MRI in an older machine, where it makes you feel like you're being buried alive. An MRI is intimidating to a human and EXTREMELY expensive. I had one done on my back back in 1990. I never knew I was claustrophobic until I had that done. They are more open, now, but back then, people freaked out. But I digress....we are so relieved that something can be done for her. Hallelujah! We are going to try meds and curtailing her activity and after a month, if she is not considerably better, then we can have surgery done on her knee. Thank You, Jesus, for it is only by Your Hand that she will get better....maybe not completely healed, but who knows! Miracles happen everyday!Thank you for your prayers, all. I believe God really heard them and answered them.

I can relate L..... I had a MRI done once and thought I was going to go CRAZY! I had a severe case of Bronchitis at the time and when they strapped my arms down and rolled me into that TIGHT hot dog machine I thought.... 'Oh my Goodness, what if I start coughing and get choked on my Phleghm?"... LOL.... Yep, it's a claustrophobe's worst nightmare.. and I aint' one! LOLOL
