YUP. I am in unchartered waters. We found out that Jake's limp is actually due to a partially ruptured ACL. This injury of course, requires surgery. It is not cheap. The surgery alone costs approx $2000. This does not include what we have spent to get the problem diagnosed (sedation, xrays, exams) and the cost for his rehab (follow up visits, medications, bandaging, etc). Rehab will take 6mo to complete. ANYWAYS, James always said that a dog is just a dog... and many agree. However, I view him like a child, and will a least TRY to do what I can to raise the money without dipping into our existing budget or going into debt.
SO..... that leads me to my uncharted waters. Jake was diagnosed Wed night. I have since made ten (yes 10) dozen cookies (not including the 9 dozen crappy cookies that didn't turn out to my liking), wrapped and packaged them, and made about 50 oreo truffles and boxed them up ready for sale. Ya gotta start somewhere. They are off to the firehouse tomorrow.
In the works is a pasta feed/concert that will take place May 2nd or not at all. I will know in a few days if this is possible or crazy talk!
My brain is exhausted just thinking about this. (11pm doesn't help either).
Well, thought I'd take a break from talking about Addy and mention Jake. By the way, Addy has been playing with Grammy and in her new bouncer/entertainment chair thingy she has while all this is in process.
