8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 11

[PBader]

Seems like a lot of animal lovers here. I'm welcoming any suggestions regarding Morgan, our black and white Bearded Collie. He broke his right rear hind leg on Sunday. I was taking him, Bailey (our other Beardie), and my daughters out to my parents so they could play. Morgan was a rescue, so he's always been timid and he is a drool machine in cars because of his nervousness. Anyway, pulling into my parents driveway, I rolled the window down so he could drool outside the van and he jumped out. The Vet said his upper hind leg snapped with some fragments and that another area had a hairline fracture, but got the leg set. He's still at the vet's, but will come home either later today or tomorrow. Vet said that Morgan had to be immobilized for at least 3 weeks so that he doesn't put pressure on the leg. The best thoughts from the vet were keeping Morgan in a large crate. Any other ideas on immobilizing a dog?

So sorry for Morgan.
best of luck, 3 weeks is a long time.

Couple of shots from Disneyland..........they gave ME a driver's license, but they wouldn't give one to Todd!

And to make matters even worse....they made the Captain ROW!

I thought this was pretty cute....Todd's Destin found a new best friend in my Jared...and that's Dylan with them

Love the pics Stace and Todd!

I also wanted to thank you and your CG family for making our lives easier.You must both be very caring people who feel the emotions of others.


I wanted to say it yesterday but I was on an emotional drain. I help chair a Cancer Survivor Celebration every year. We just found out some people will not be able to join us as the big "C" won.

I had shorts on this afternoon reading the meters, it was sooooooooooooooooo nice to get out of that winter garb...........

My ortho doc said everything is looking as good as can be expected. He did say that I have arthritis on the inside of both knees, but I already knew that....... As long as no major problems arise, I will go back to see the ortho doc next March for my annual check-up.

It's not warm enough for shorts here yet, but maybe by the end of the week.

Glad to hear no major problems Andy!

Sorry to hear about your ankle MR! I hope it does not effect your vacation!

Want to feel old? Here's a pic of The Beaver, Wally and Eddie Haskell that I received from an online friend while I was at the docs. This pic is for those who remember who these three TV characters are(were).....................

Eddie.............Beaver...............Wally​

Nope never seen them before in my life. What TV show was that?


I know not fooling anyone right?

Can you believe Sanjaya's hair??????????

Loved Melinda also.

As soon as they showed a glimpse of him before the break we all cracked up laughing. OMG can he get any weirder???

Andy I think Sanjaya is Michael Jackson's Brother from Another Mother

I said the same thing to DH! I was waiting for him to yell a hello out to his pet monkey!

I did get a call from the Dr. office today about the scheduling of the next test for DD. What is it about those guys that makes you want to just scream? Sorry to any medical professionals here. I'm sure you guys are so much more helpful. They called to tell me that they can get DD in for the next test on May 29th!!! Two whole months from now.

The lady says, " I am sure you aren't going to be happy with this" Darn right, I am not happy, I am furious!!!!
She said she would talk to the doctor and see if she can get me a better date. I was think, why didn't you do that before you even called me.

Then I asked "so if this is the date we stay with and it ends up she needs surgery when do you think it would happen, Early summer?" "oh no, she says probably the end of the summer at the earliest" Am I suppose to be okay with that?
DD has lost a year of her sports life as it is now. How do we tell her "guess what honey? looks like another year with out basketball and track and dance?"
Very frustrated here in Michigan. At least the sun is shining and it is warm.

So sorry Laura, Mark and your family. for all of you.

..i can't fathom how much i ahve posted here & how
much i shared...family matters. it seem sureal, but it also self evident
that there are many sharing alot similar interests. * i feel this is an
extra spcial cruise..cos it was a major challenge just to get "on".
[ i sure hope there isn't any bumping as we still don't have a
room assigned] ...i was on "hold" x5hrs..and never got on...so if
it wasn't our dreams girl , we would never made it. also i feel
bad .. not having computer skills to help thjose doing much...&
things like a portable blender...girl... , who i planned on cozy
up tooo per lil'miss cutoie pie's tolerance...

p.s.. i x 10, reading what you all were postings about the quel
music..esp., for shame lisa! , killing the poor lil'beast! [ i bet your
husband can "preform" the best disappearing act around, huh?



what this site has done..is like a trip done memory lane. maybe boring,
but in a big way, define my current boundaries. today, we can laugh
how our "second baby" was supposed to been a " wonderful bonding
moment"......stupid, ignorant nurse...she was more interested in
getting students in...well they got an education when my wife let out
"a scream" from her very soul...they bolted out of there with
all over their faces...i have most forgotten..thru time...how precious my
wife is...there couldn't been a more defining moment....in our family
life..the very essence of coming and doing our 99 ,extended family
cruise...but "seeing" these pics again..."how do you thank someone~
who gave so much..when the odds were at the highest? right then,
i was totally exhausted...& i was just a spectator!...........

i happened to have taken a pic. right afterwards, she looked like
holding a ..with his lil'hand poking down the
blanket, to "look" at the world. while my lil'miracle worker, in her
finest glory, tenderly comforting, "our" newest member, arriving
with much tribulations & all the drama of a nascar ramming/flipping
all over the finish line. * you was not here, so this is the best ..but
be advised..does not do this moment justice....as evident by all the
iv's and armbands marking her accomplishment!...for me, this showed
what a woman is all about. how precious and strong. and while i had
an "ob" history...this experiece changed me forever! then i have read
some of your own remarkable stories..some sad..some happy { isn't
craxy that the rock group styx..would reflect this very feeling in
a song.."sail way"?] ..to all that we will be sharing
on this, a family cruise..of a lifetime!

* however, i like to point something that made me ...what was
missing during our crisis?...not only did our ob. was not in the
hospital..nor was there a ped...this was unexcusable! ( don't think
i didn't raised the roof !)

pack rats unite! ok..i am rationizing cos our house is overflowing! the
debate is ..who stuff must go... . but its also interesting..you
can measure our time tables of our disney adventures by all the
different graphics from my lil'moss cutie pie shopping. wow! no
wonder the disney's like seeing us!!

Lil' Grumpy I know you mentioned this harrowing birth before & I can not even imagine how scared you must've been. I also had a very bad birth experience with my DS, but I did not suffer the way your poor wife did. Suffice it to say, I was so drugged & more intent on pushing, I was not aware of how serious the situation was at the time. It's a long story, but basically I turned blue due to lack of oxygen & DS's heart rate dropped very drastically. DH still talks about how scared he was because he thought he lost us both that day. Luckily we had a room full of specialists to handle a very dangerous situation. I am so sorry that you did not have the support you should have had that day.

We closed down the parks a couple of nights....and I took some time to just sit in front of the castle......Interesting how the reflection is more clear than the castle.......

That is a neat one stace
