I am feeling better today. It is amazing how many people turn up to support you when you are in need. People who you expect, like parents and siblings and close friends, but people who you didn’t realize cared so much about you. It is nice. I think I feel less lonely now than when I had a marriage.
I am starting to make friends at work too, one of my co-workers invited us over for breakfast so Sacha and her son could meet and play. They had a great time and Sacha cleaned his plate! I keep thinking i must seem like such a basket case to everyone at work, who don’t know me all that well, I have only been there since October. I think I will be ok for now though and a bunch of the other women who work there have gone through divorces as well, so they are incredibly understanding.
I think I have figured out why Gus has been extra naughty for the past 6 months or so. He started drinking excessive amounts of water recently and when I googled that a check list came up for Cushings disease. Gus has every symptom. And from what i gather, it is cause by one of two things, either a tumour in the brain or the adrenal glands. The cure seems to be surgery. At this age, and my financial situation, Gus will not be getting surgery, so my goal is to make him comfortable. Andrew has agreed that he will take him to our vet on Tuesday.
Sacha was sad about moving from Roberts Creek the other night, he started crying. When he saw the dogs, he told the “you dogs make me feel better”. I am not looking forward to explaining what is going to happen to Gus to Sacha.
