Layla

[Lindsey]

Today I am finding it really hard not to cry.

How is your back today? I cannot blame you for wanting to cry. It's like the sky is falling in on you, but things will get better. Hang in there Lindsey. Sometimes that's all we can do.

Much love and prayers for all of you.

Thank you. My back is okay, still sore, but at least I'm at work. Luckily I just get to sit at my desk all day.

Layla is at the university today getting physical therapy. She was so upset in the car this morning, I hope she's doing okay. I can't stop worrying.

I am doing better now than I was a week ago, though. I know it will get better. I felt like such a failure yesterday when we got home and I hadn't emptied Layla's bladder since lunch time because I didn't have another pee pad at work, and when we got home at around 6:00, she had started leaking from an over full bladder. Scott was pretty upset and I apologized and he said "Don't apologize to me, apologize to Layla. It's her bladder you're going to explode." It's just really hard. I don't know if I'm getting it all empty and it's frustrating and she can't help me because she can't feel anything. Sometimes all I can think about is crying. I don't even want to get up in the mornings because I just want to sleep until she starts getting better.

Lindsey, nothing is cursed. You have been under SO much stress. When your mind can't relax, your body can't relax, either. No wonder your back hurts! I'm so very sorry you feel bad. Get in the bed with Layla and stay there all weekend PLEASE!!

Lindsey , Diana hit it on the head.. MEN DON'T HAVE A CLUE!!! go with your gut feeling this other girl knows EXACTLY what she is doing!!!! You tell Scott that you Don't Like him going out with her .. Period ! End of Story!

Sorry that you have been having back pain... I am glad to read that your feeling better... You are under so much stress.. and like I told you earlier today on FB , Layla is not in pain, and you do have to expect a little pain with PT , there is no reason your friends are telling you to put her down, Like the other lovely ladies mentioned she needs time to heal , she was just operated on.. OMG.... Your above and beyond doing the best that you can.. You need postive energy and support. Not the opposite...


Please give her time to heal and hopefully she will progess .. Hugs and kisses to you...

Lindsey, I've been following your threads on here and YT, and my heart is aching for you. You are being so strong and exactly what Layla needs. Anyone who tells you to put Layla down is probably not a pet owner, and does not have any idea the bond we have with our babies. Especially since she is still happy and has no pain at all, it breaks my heart to think that anyone would eve suggest that.

Your strength is what will get Layla through this, and you have every right to have an adjustment period where things seem cursed and bleak. At the end of the day, you are there for Layla and your positivity will help her heal.

The alternative methods you are trying can only help Layla so I would definitely agree with you to continue with that.

As far as your boyfriend goes, I agree with what you told him. You are more tolerant than I am I have zero tolerance for that type of behavior, especially since this girl seems like a piece of work.

Stay strong, girly. There is hope and there are so many people praying for you

Thank you all for your support!

Last night we were all sitting on the futon and she was between us and in the blink of an eye she was on the floor Scott called it "graceful" and there was no thud or hard hit on the floor, but she still got down on her own which is a huge mistake on our part. I was upset all night, I felt sick about it. I should have been watching her better. She didn't twist her back or fall on her back, so Scott is trying to reassure me it's okay. All she wanted was a drink of water. From now on she's only going to be in her crate unless she's going to the bathroom of we can have our hands on her constantly.

I am sorry to keep venting but I am finding it really hard not to cry today. I have tried to stay strong and positive for a long time and everytime I feel sorry for myself I push it away and now I can't keep it inside any longer. I want to do everything over again and do things differently. Things are just really hard right now. It's hard to function at all.
