Oh the pain

[Lisa, Daisy & Dexter]

I have been mostly MIA lately, the reason? Well suffice to say it has something to do with a leash, a dog and a DH that didn't use his head.

We were out hiking on a nice afternoon 2 weeks ago this past Sunday. We were in the woods, I was holding Daisy, DH was NOT thinking and went off the path and tried to pick up a very large fallen limb, Daisy did not see him, only the branch and took off like a bat out of he_ _! Remember who was holding the leash? That's right, a 70lb doodle on the end of a 3 foot leash yanked my arm so hard I nearly fell. After the initial shock of it all (and a few choice words for Mike) I seemed to be fine.

Fast forward to this past Monday when after 2 weeks of thinking it would get better I finally caved and went to the Dr.

No torn anything just badly pulled....steroids and muscle relaxers have eased the pain for the most part but I can not sit at the computer for very long, perhaps 20 minutes, before it all starts throbbing again. Not good for work but especially not good for me and DK.  In 10 days I will be in physical therapy...nope not good news.

Anyway, just wanted to say I was thinking about you all and hope to be back soon.

[Marianne *OZZY & ZOEY]

Oh no, sorry to hear that.  Hope you are feeling better soon.

[BG and Gavin]

Oh Lisa, what rotten luck.  Heal quick girlie.

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

Oh NO!!!  I sure hope you get some pain relief and get back to normal soon!!!

[Camilla and Darwin]

That is awful, feel better soon! I'm sure your DH didn't know that Daisy would get startled by the branch, sometimes things just surprise us.

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

OMD, Lisa....I'm so sorry!  Feel better!

[Joanne ~ Spud*]

Oww, and so sorry, Lisa. Hope though, that you get a really Big Ball out of the deal, just so Daisy can get a new toy. Don't be too hard on the DH as he meant well

[Bonnie and Kona]

Lisa,

I'm so sorry about your injury. Physical therapy does not sound fun. Get better quickly!

I am sad to say that I feel your pain! I had Owen on a long leash when a thoughtless squirrel decided to run past him. My hand was sliced open by the leash and arm wrenched.

[Christine & Shelby]

Oh no.... So sorry this happened... I can only imagine given I know how much my 40 pound Shelby can pull me around when she wants to or is scared by something.  Take care of yourself and don't over do it....

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

I've been thinking about you too Lisa! I thought your posts were getting fewer and farther between!  So sorry for the thoughtless accident. Hope you are on the mend and back with us full time soon!

[Donna K & Quincy]

Lisa, I hope that shoulder feels better soon, in the meantime Mike milk it for all it's worth.
