Sunday, March 8th., 2026…… Rylee is doing much better today.
Yes, she is still lethargic and the drugs we give her both morning and evening are
causing that. Also, her appetite is down right now. But she seems to be getting
along a little better now. We are still keeping her down most of the time.
But that’s hard sometimes! Back
when she had the injury, she learned to get around favoring that leg. Still
holds true now so she thinks she can go wherever she wants! But I can get her to lay down on her bed in
our room now and I leave the slider open a crack. That really helps her cool
off and she will stay there all night. So, Cathye can sleep in our bad again!
We spent the day hanging around
the house. Until I left to go to class. I had the cash box to return and turns
out they needed another guy so I helped out all evening. Passed on the
afterparty though so I could come back home to help Cat out with Rylee.
Monday, March 9th., 2026…… Not a great night’s sleep for me.
Not sure why. Maybe the time change. Maybe Rylee. I don’t know. Plus she got me
up early and I’ll have to deal with that all day. Cat said she slept well.
Because of having to have someone here all the time, we passed on the gym and
breakfast out. Later, Cat headed off to Albany to run two errands. She stopped
first and picked up her glasses and then headed over to Costco to do some light
shopping. Yeah, over $200.00! Later, we would decide not to go to Cat’s Plus class. As I said
before, she is very nervous/anxious being there so we will drop out for now. I
think she wants to wait for Shaun to do his own class and he’s a lot easier to
learn from. We’ll see.
Tuesday, March 10th., 2026…… Rylee is way better as days go
by. She’s almost got her appetite back. We have to give her her meds with
velveeta cheese so now she expects that and doesn’t want her dinner.. We’re
keeping an eye on her bandage. The top section is loose so Cat tried adding an
additional bandage. We’ll have to see how that goes. But she is doing well in
getting around although we are trying to keep her down as much as we can. The
meds help a little for that but she still wants to wander all around the house.
Later, Cat got a call from the lady in charge of Sherry’s estate sale. That is
where we found the couch and recliner we are wanting to buy. She said that
Sherry wanted us to have it and to give us a good price. So they called early
and asked if we wanted it and could we get it before the sale on Friday. We
made arrangements to get it tomorrow.
Wednesday, March 11th., 2026…… Today we are going to get the couch. We had Penny come over to keep an eye on Rylee and we went out to talk to the estate folks. We made the deal and they helped us load the couch and recliner in my truck. Cat had driven the car over so we could load the backrests and that was pretty much necessary because we had no room! We had already arranged for Justin to come help unload it - and he brought a friend - so that worked out for my back! Plus he is taking our old couch and recliner. For now, we are keeping the loveseat and my recliner. Since the new sofa is a La-Z-Boy, we most likely will be ordering a recliner for me that will match the style and fabric. But for now, we will just get armchair covers for everything so it will tie together. They will come in the next week or so. We also ordered a table that folds out into a ramp for Jama to use to get up and down. We just have to get her used to it now.
Thursday, March 12th., 2026…… Today was massages and a play. I had bought us tickets to go see Frozen, which is done by the West Albany High School drama class. It was very well done. I remembered going to see 7 Brides for 7 Brothers a few years ago. At that time, it was held in the cafeteria and was low budget. Well, since then, the school now has a new performing arts center and it’s one of the nicest we have ever seen! Anyway, the production was first class and the acting was really on point. There were kids in the audience dressed up as Elsa. They really enjoyed the show!
We had left Rylee alone for the first time, so we quickly headed back home soon after. She was good to go!
Later, Cathye posted our night on Facebook. She got several comments back saying that at first glance, the people in the background in our selfie made it look like she had braids!
Friday, March 13th., 2026…… This morning we woke up and got going. We
discovered that Rylee’s bandage was coming loose! We tried taping it but that
didn’t work. We also tried wrapping it with an ace (type) bandage. No luck. I
called the vet’s office and they asked me to send pics, which I did. She called
back to say the doctor told her that was entirely normal and it’s doing what
it’s supposed to. It will probably last another day or two. So, no worries.
We also got a block text from our
neighbor showing us a video of a bobcat they captured on their critter cam last
night!
We will need to make sure one of
us is always outside with Jama!
Saturday, March 14th., 2026…… Pretty laid back Saturday. We had
nothing on the agenda today, so we just relaxed for most of the day. Cathye decided to go to Wilco this morning to
take their class about raised beds, and how to get them out of hibernation. She
got back and said she learned a lot! Later,
we were both relaxing when we heard this loud BOOM! We were warned a few days
before that our neighbors would be shooting off a gun of some kind. It was
their recently married daughter’s way of announcing their gender reveal to
their guests. It took a few seconds for us to realize what it was. We went out
to the front porch in time to see the smoke rising from the ‘cannon’ that they
fired! We didn’t catch any color but
later Corie texted that it was ‘Blue’. Of course Rylee and Jama didn’t care what
it was! They were terrified! After
dinner, we decided to head over to Sweet Home to the Squarenader’s dance. Most
of our Club as well as the other the local clubs went over to the coast for another club’s beach retreat – we had
to stay back with Rylee – so we decided to go support this other club. Shaun, our
caller, who was on the coast calling that dance on Friday night, had a contract
to call in Sweet Home on Saturday and we decided to go dance to him. Naturally,
it was a pretty small dance. They had barely two squares and 1 ½ of those were
from our Club. We left about 15 minutes early and got home to check on Rylee.
She is doing well and is pretty much back to normal. She limps when she first
gets up but then seems to be doing fine after that. She wants so bad to get up
on our bed when we sleep but she hasn’t got the strength for that yet – plus we
aren’t allowing her to even think about it! That was our week. Next week (on Tues.) I have
my biopsy so I am off my blood thinners for a few days.
