Here is my day
We had to set up a pen for Spirit as Ella is in Spirits so when I catch my breath I will redecorate. I had 3 hours sleep this morning at 730am. I have been monitoring Ella and pups as they are small but feisty and Ella keeps moving so they fall off. Tempie each time they cry wants to go in to take care of them even when she is told no. Nathan got split sleeps so about 6 hours. Dennis went to bed at 530 and will stay till 10-1030 when I can go to bed and sleep if Spirit allows. Spirit is still nesting. Wish she would have them now.
Spirit other than nesting all day so I constantly check her, she is low key and no issue. I hold her a number of times to make sure she knows she is loved. I believe I did one video of the nesting.
I get the videos uploaded as I can.
I can't go up and down to take care of pups but I am and it hurts too much to do so.I am living on pain pills so I have movement. Each time I try not to use pain pills I find myself crying as the pain is too great. Today I am living on pain pills and eating fiber.
I celebrate the pups but wouldn't it be nice that Spirit has them before bedtime so we both can get sleep. Nathan will sleep in the other room so he sleeps. Me, I can't as I worry about deliveries gone wrong as I am not awake. Mother's phobia...
Sorry just tired but Spirit - let's get on with it. LOL
I miss the pups that departed and the play I had with them.

Darlah, have you tried a cane? I had a severe soft injury to my foot a few months ago and once I used a cane “property” I couldn’t believe how much it helped. Good supportive indoor shoes (like sketchers) and a cane will alleviate a lot of stress off your knee. You need to keep the weight off to rest it and heal. The relief was immediate and healing began ….
I am supposed to use crutches. Do have a cane. It is impossible as I must get down then up then down then up. Nathan is healing. Today he looks much better. Though he says it is still painful. Marked improvement. Me, I keep aggravating as I must weigh pups, put pups on over and over. I have my good moments after icing and pain pills. You will laugh but our son told me where and what to get at a cannabis store. I can't take the pain and even in its hey day I never did drugs. Hate them but here I am taking tylenol 1s and 3s and lots of fiber now. LOL Not hard drugs so okay other than it creates constipation thus the fiber and magnesium etc. I am game for chewables? Our son also had this injury but from skiing. Me, I do not know how I tore it but they say moderate to severe. Our son had 2 healing processes with his. It didn't work so he ended up with surgery twice. His process took 38 weeks and yes he is skiing again. I will shoot myself if mine takes that long but he is the only one who gets my pain. Nathan does not do pain well so I get to hear the moaning, groaning, complaints that unfortunately do not allow me to escape mine. I need an escape as I am not usually a woose. I have had surgery, been given Oxycontin and said nope - can't do that - better to have pain. Instead of in the inside knee area of my leg hurting, I now have the front of the knee hurting. Crutches is too much sense but not with litters. I carry the weight and then some here. Nathan babies himself and doesn't do but can as I do all that he says he can't. It is a no win situation. Hopefully I will recover and not need surgery. Then what will the guys do if I can't do?
