It's now been over three months since the car accident, and I'm FINALLY beginning to feel "all better". I still tire but not as easily, and if I sit down and read the paper or watch TV for 1/2 hour I'm ready to get back at it again. This is after doing some rather heavy physical exertion, like hoeing my large and rapidly getting weedy garden. I can stay awake all day and I'm not sore the next day, I can again do something with some rather heavy physical exertion. Heck I even bathed all five dogs and groomed them one day! After all this influx of family leaves (mid-June) I think I can once again begin my physical exercise regimen which I sorely need. YAY!
I am noticing I'm not the same mentally which bothers me. I've never been quick on my feet mentally but now sometimes I'm struggling while talking to someone, forgetting a word or occasionally being unable to finish a sentence. It doesn't happen a lot but when it does it's embarassing. I've been told this too will pass my brain got injured too but jeepers I hate it when it happens.
Since we've had so many guests and the home life is chaotic Moto's "lessons" right now are learning to deal with kids, babies, other dogs, other people, and a non-schedule. All the other dogs are doing quite well and Moto being such a laid-back guy is easily adapting. We have a 4-day Obedience Camp end of July and I cannot wait to bring him. If Blitz is feeling up to it he'll come along too, just to get out and experience life.
Blitz has never recovered from that weird gait, so I think that's going to be part of his new normal. In spite of the aggressive round of medicine his eating still is taking quite awhile also. He still is the happiest little dog on Earth and is slipping slowly away with a smile. I have no idea how long he has - the vet can't even venture a guess - but Blitz makes a point of enjoying every moment he has and for that I am grateful.
