SEPTEMBER 2011
Highlight this month was seeing my son get maried to Kim in Newcastle on the 3rd, it was a beautiful service which brought tears to my eyes, I know me getting all soppy. I used to wonder why people cried at weddings thought they were nuts but now I know why. Having to check on the dogs back at our hotel we were a little late for the reception but all was okay and the evening party was great, got a dance with Brian my OH, we have been together 11 years and never shared a dance.. then I got a dance with Jamie and my brother Dave.
The following Monday 4th I had an appointment with my specialist, bit upset to find after 3 months he still hadn't started proceedings about tests for my possible lung transplant. All ok now though as have received a copy of the letter he has sent to Papworth Hospital in Cambridge. Now I just have to sit and wait to see what happens next.
Went to the Richmond dog show and Red qualified for Crufts having being placed 2nd, wasn't overall sure if he had already qualified previously but this time he definitely has. A bloke called Steve came 3rd which surprised me as he is a top breeder and show man and often gets placed 1st. So Red did really well today.Mind in the next class Red came 4th of 4 with the same judge, ah well still a great day.
Been having some Parelli lessosn with Liz Jones doing what I can which wasn't a lot but it was enough for me to practice and finally got my level 3 On Line audition recorded and posted (30th) onto You Tube. now just gotta wait to see how I done. Few days later I give Kim a riding lesson with Kyle but since then I have been realy ill, done too much again and finding it hard to sleep at night with coughing and also having a lot of pain in my neck and shoulders and lower back due to a whiplash accident 2 years ago. Talking of which I was offered a low amount and have decided to take it to court as I have suffered for a long time and still suffering.
On the 20th me and Brian went to see an alcapela group called the Magnets and they were great, well worth going to see.
Was meant to go to two other dog shows but just wasn't well enough to go, lost out on a lot of money as it cost to enter and it was staying overnight, still if I can't go then I can't go.
I have good and bad days thinking of possible outcomes of the lung transplant, so worrying and no one really to talk to.
Well that is all for this month
Ta ta for now.
