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.

Oh Lisa, I am so sorry to hear  this. I hope you have a quick recovery. One of the reasons I use prong collars is to prevent such disasters. The doodles just could not do this, they don't really try anymore. But I have about 110 pounds of doodle and it would not be a pretty sight.

Ouch, that hurts. Hope your healing is fast and complete. Feel better!

[Barbara B., Sasha & Oliver]

I hope you are feeling better real soon Lisa.  I swear my arms are at least 4 inches longer after owning Oliver - LOL.  Take those meds. and feel better soon ;)

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

I'm so sorry to hear this, Lisa! I hope you heal quickly and soon feel better!

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

 Clancy says he wondered what happened to his calendar page buddy - like you didn't mention her condition and he is quite concerned about her.  We all hope you feel better soon too.

[Joanna, Zoe & Bender]

Oh no! Get well soon!

[Deanna & Desi & Cori]

Ouch!! Hope the physical therapy gets you back to normal soon!!!
