LUCILLEBALL AND I ARE BACK </;-)

[Karen & Lucy]

OMG, how long has it been??????????? I have not been on here for soooooo long, I am ashamed of myself. So many things have been going on in our lives I just got away from all of our friends here on DK. I am sorry. We lost my MIL in May, I fell on July 18 and broke my foot and have not worked since. I was on crutches with an air cast boot on up until about 3 weeks ago and now am off the crutches, still have the boot on though and using a bone stimulator now 2x's / day. The bone is not healing. I was on short term disability for 3 months and have just started long term disability. Do not know If or when I will return to work. It has been very very trying. We had been planning on going to Florida Jan. - April 2011 and by the grace of God still plan on doing that. We rented our house and are living between our motorhome and our home in the mountains until leaving for Fld. I have to use the stimulator on my foot for 3 months and if it is not healed by then, I guess it will be surgery </:-( My Lucy is doing GREAT!!! I love her soooo much. I have to be careful though as she gets quite frisky outside and wants me to run and play with her and I can't. SHE NEEDS A ROMP TO GO TO hahahahahaha. She now weighs 80# and Doc Bob thinks she needs to go on a diet. Mamma does not think so. She is fine. I still have my mobile groomer and I am still able to get her fluffed and buffed monthly. SHE ABSOLUTELY LOVES IT. She is even good at getting her nails done now. I really hope to be able to meet up with some of you and your doodles in Fld. this winter. We will be at a campground in Brooksville. There are alot of things that have kept me busy related to this accident and all that is involved with work, ins., my DH's ins. etc. etc. that has kept me preoccupied, BUT we will be back to join in all of the fun of doodles. Have missed you all

It sounds like you have had a trying time the last few months. I bet that Lucy has been keeping you good company while you have been laid up. I hope that your Florida vacation goes well and that you foot heals properly. Welcome back!

Welcome back. We've wondered about you and other missing doodlers. Sorry to hear of your troubles but I hope the foot is on the mend. A winter in the sunshine might just do the trick. Glad Lucy is well.
