Morning all,
I am here, just got a slow start this morning.
Our dogs just kept being so restless all night and even at 5 a.m. this morning. pacing and going to the door and window and low growls and little barks now and then. Minnie came and sat beside where i was sleeping. I thought they just heard the rain on the metal roof and wind. It is a new noise for them.
Then at 5:45 a neighbor knocked, we were up and he said Randy (the man who I told you about who had the broken neck and back) needed help. He had fallen in the bath room (rec room) and laid there on the cold tiles all night. apparently he had been banging the bathroom stall doors and screaming for help all night.
Thats what our dogs heard since we are parked closest to it.
He said he just laid there and prayed to die he hurt so bad.
so Greg, Rich (who found him) and Chuck all went to help him. First by getting warm jacket for him, Rich got his pain pills ans then waited for them to start to kick in,. then all 3 had to help him up and to his trailer.
He was screaming in pain. He lives in horrible pain all the time and the meds dont get rid of all of it. He has been to a pain clinic and so far they can t help either. He is actually numb from his knees down and his elbows down which also makes it hard to get around.
after the paramedics got doen with him a few months ago he is 10 X worse than before. He needs to get out of the trailer and into a small home or mobile home to stay warmer and to get rid of the steps into his place. Problem is then he wouldnt have friends around to help him.
He has a cell phone but always forgets to take it with him.
I guess he fell a few days ago by the dumpster by my window but we must have been gone because I didnt see him and the dogs didnt bark. It took him 2 hours to get up. I cant believe none of us saw him.
we will be checking in on him good the next few days, more than usual and rich is walking his dogs.
That is why I am so late today. we got behind on everything this morning.
I just feel so badly for this man, he is alwasy so nice to everyone, he deserves better. Hopefully he will sleep a lot today since he was up all night.
sorry to be so down, but this really made me so sad this morning.
On the lighter side, you should have seen Minnie this morning. She did the fastest poo job I ahve ever seen due to the rain.

She wouldnt even go out a tall the first time Greg tried. Then I tried about 45 miutes later when I knew she really had to go. She was a streak of lightning
Pixie just runs and plays in the rain, she doesnt care.
Now Minnie is all under her blanket in front of the heater trying to get warm.
she looks so silly

Lesson learned, pay attention to dogs when they act up at night.
