5th day post op

Charlie Jo is 5th day post op today from her TPLO surgery last Wed. 6/8/11. She is doing so well! She listens and seems to understand she needs rest and just short walks. She is eating, drinking and taking her meds like the good girl she is! On the 23rd the stitches and staples come out, so I hope we don't have to keep putting the comfy cone on her after that! Need to get a carpet for the kitchen so she does not slip n slide and hurt her legs. So far, so good! Thank you GREAT SPIRIT!

3 days post op TPLO

We are at 3 days post op TPLO for corgi chow Charlie JO! She is doing fantabulous! She is resting, going out for her business and taking her meds. I am so proud of her! It is hard to keep her in her crate with the comfy cone on.
As long as we are here in the same room with her I let her out of the crate and take the cone off. She loves that! It is great bonding time!

Charlie Jo's upcoming surgery on June 8th, 2011

Wow, I am hoping n praying my corgi chows surgery goes well on Wednesday! She hurt her left rear knee around Easter of this year and the doc says TPLO surgery is the best for her injury, a torn ACL. So I am putting all my faith n trust in my vet and the vet he referred me to , to do the surgery. I am feeling all will go well. She will be back chasing rabbits before you know it! I will update as the surgery date nears. Please send positive energy, healing thoughts our way!

Dig deep communication

Well it has been a little over a year since I have been to my blog. I forgot how to get to it! Here I am today heading to something called communologue tomorrow. It is a workshop on learning to listen and communicate better in groups. An Imago therapist is putting it on and since I am an Imago therapist I thought I would check it out. I have read a little bit about it. It states, do not judge or speak like you have the answer. I have heard a lot of people in my day speak like they know it all. We all have something to say and it matters. Listening is big, one has to learn how to really listen. Listen without thinking what you are going to say , listen to the other person, cross the bridge to who they are and just LISTEN>
Hope to write more often, let you know how the workshop goes.

Why is it so difficult sometimes?

I often wonder if others really understand me. We all communicate from such a place that is only ours, having to do with family of origin, school, religion, the environment and other influences from the time we were conceived. So many arguments, conflict, divorce, family disputes and worse occur just because of a lack of communication. Hurt is usually what has happened and unless we delve deep within ourselves honestly we won' t know that. Maybe our hurt is not even about the other person or what they did. It probably isn't. It has more to do with the past, our childhoods and we did or did not get. Wow, whoever would have thought. For today I will remember that we all come from our own frames of reference. Each of us individuals on this planet learning to experience life at its fullest. JOY
