Thanks Grumpy's Gal. It's much easier to walk in the pool, but I usually just swim laps for an hour and walk around the house for my steps. I can sit down when I want.
Zoey is having her birthday party and the municipal pool on the 27th. That's where we usually have it. Then on her actualy birthday on the 31st, we will all go out to dinner, most likely at the Olive Garden which is her favorite.
We did have some excitement on Tuesday. It was cloudy and chilly, so I didn't swim. I just picked up the kids and we went home to eat lunch and watch The Price is Right. The kids then took their baths and did the school work. Chuck and Karen asked me to stay late because they were going to have dinner with friends. Fine with me. Jesse had his guitar lesson, Karen came home and did her run on the treadmill, took her shower and then Jesse asked to go out and play with friends.
Chuck and Karen were just getting ready to go out the door, when Jesse came home wimpering, holding a paper towel over his arm with blood dripping on the floor. OMG! He had been attacked by a neighbors cocker spaniel. He had one puncture on the top of his arm and one on the bottom, one bit on his other arm that just broke the skin and scratch marks on his shower from the dog's claws.
Chuck washed it off and they took him to urgent care. They came home about an hour later. Jesse didn't need stitches but he did need to take antibiotics 3 times a day for a week and no swimming until the puncture closes up. Jesse was fine and smiling when he came home. Grandmom was about to have a heart attack. We made sure he drank a lot of water. Chuck and Karen did make it a bit later to their dinner so everything worked out fine.
The health department called Karen the next day and made a trip to the neighbors house to make sure the dog's shots were up to date (they were). The last I heard Karen was going to have a talk with him last night. One of his kids had the dog on a leash. Jesse was petting their other dog, when this one attacked Jesse and got away from the kid holding the leash. Luckily the father was there and got the dog off Jesse. This isn't the first time that dog has gone after kids. So I hope this doesn't happen again because if it does, the dog will have to be put down.
Just a very upsetting situation for all except Jesse. He was fine. LOL The next day Jesse other wounds were almost all healed. The puncture was still weeping a bit.
