Mel was right

I guess MWK was right in saying "You have too had things to blog about." So here goes:

We had to put Tilly to sleep on September 11. Can I say it was one of the worst days of my life. I couldn't even bring myself together to go with my dad to the vet. I suck I know, seeing my dad carry his limp lifeless body to his spot in the backyard almost killed me. My eyes were swollen beyond measure from all the tears. It was bad. But he is not in pain anymore. I keep having dreams that he's alive and happy and his old self and I wake up looking for him, only to realize it was a dream and in reality he's gone. I know lots and lots of people don't love, or even like cats but this cat was one of the most amazing cats ever. He would come when I would call his name. He acted more like a dog than a cat in the sense that when I was having a bad day he wouldn't leave my side until I calmed down. If I ever had a guy over he'd come out and sit on my lap and just glare at the guy, on occasion if he liked the guy he'd leave. Tilly had the most amazing emerald green eyes, they were gorgeous.

He was utterly amazing and I miss him so much. I cannot get my scanner to work with my laptop so I'm not able to get a picture of him on here yet.

Let's see other stuff, I've been working as a nurse again!!! I have been back at it for almost 2 months, although it seems like more, and I have had some of the most amazing patients. Honestly I had some of my very favorite patients, I've had some who I've cried with, some who I've laughed with, and then some who I've been glad to say goodbye to but through and through going through the whole wrist saga has helped me appreciate what I do and my co-workers even more than ever. I am grateful to still have my hand, when Dr Sullivan told me that we had to operate that night (the 2nd surgery for the infection) he pretty much had me freaked out to the point that I was thinking I was going to lose my hand. That is one of those experiences I

never wish to revisit. P.S. I'm still mad Sullivan moved away. I mean adding the part that I had 3 different orthopedic surgeons operate on me in 5 months does make the story a little bit cooler, but really he was the best of the 3. He was straightforward, honest, and was a just a great doctor.

Two of my sisters are pregnant. Mary is due in December and Sara is pregnant in February.

I went to the zoo the other day with my sister Jenn, her girls Monkey and Bugs, and my sister Mary's son G-Monster. I decided another career I would love would be working with animals. I know the communication is not the same, but seriously I love animals. Minus most of the reptiles, alligators/crocodiles/snakes= gross. Seeing the tigers made me want one, well I really want a lion but a tiger would be so cool too!
