Been a while since I have been on line. Seems like I sleep alot. Kelly picked up Tina yesterday, we were very sad to see her go, of course I cried. I was very proud of Tina. She was hesitant at first to get into the trailer, but then she jumped right in. I gave her hugs and told her to show Kelly how much she has learned, kissed her and said good bye...
It was very cold out, so Art made me go back in the house as they drove away...Kelly will take very good care of her and get her where she needs to be to go to her forever home. She is a very nice lady, she and her mother were freezing, but they let me have all the time I needed with Tina before they left. I was embarrassed for anyone to see me, as Art had to help me across the pasture to get her. As for me, there is possibly hope at the end of the tunnel. OU Medical Center has put me on their Critical Care list. They are trying to get me an appointment the 1st week of January. I am afraid to get my hopes up, have toooo many times only to be told they can't do the surgery or help me. "When" this ruptures they will take me. They said when the bleeding won't stop get in the car and start to drive to them (1 1/2 hours away), and to call them and an ambulance will meet us on the Interstate and take me from there. I bleed everyday several times but it does eventually stop. Surgeon said to be within an hours drive from the hospital, but it is 1 1/2 hours away??? I have lost alot of weight, Dr.s said that is normal with this disease. I am down to 112 lbs. Dr.s have me on supplements, weight gainers and high carb diet to put weight back on or at least stabilize it. I went to see REO and I felt so bad for her. All she did was cry and hug me, I guess I frightened her. Now I stay at home, not because of REO, but because this is where I feel safe and it made me think that I don't want to put anyone in a frightfull position when it does rupture. If something happens at least I will be "home". I work when I can, not very often. And they do let me work from home if it is possible. Art has "decided" he is not going to sell any of our horses. He feels they keep me going. IF need be, he will sell them later. Art took me to dinner and Christmas shopping this past Saturday evening, shopping was cut short, I started to bleed and he paniced so home we went. Thank you to all who have emailed or called. For those who have called (Art does tell me that you have called) please try to understand that I am not being rude, I am just not ready to "talk" about it yet. I am still trying to deal with this myself and keep Art and my son sane. Everyone who has sent me Dr.'s names and hospitals, please know that we have followed up on each and everyone of them!!!!! And we have been told "we are so sorry", or we have not heard back from them. Again, Thank You for all your support and prayers. Theresa & Art
..........Barbie, Trust me, I do take comfort "with" Dreamer, I swear that mare is 3/4 human.
I wanted to add... Thank You to everyone who has sent Christmas Cards. They mean alot to us!
