Today is Sunday and Chopper, my older Jack Russel terrier has been aadopted out to live one of the Dialysis nurses from the hospital where Im waiting for my transplant. he has been with me since he was born and to say Im sad about it is an understatement. When I go home I will have to have home dialysis every night and no animals will be allowed to sleep in the bedroom with us anymore. Chopper and his son Pando have has issues and now must be seperated at all times, so removing one of the bedrooms from the mix makes life at home impossible for all of us. This lady has been looking for older companion dog for some time and offered to take Chopper to live with her. As usual, when she arrived his behavior was perfect and he hit it off with her, her husband and their small dog brilliantly. It sounds like he going to a fantastic home as they live in the very outer suburbs and it is almost considered the country. They walk their dog on the beach every day. It almost seems too good to be true. I worry that he will pine for us and not behave, but so far so good.( but he has only been gone 90 minutes so far). I will probably get to go home this week when I master my new dialysis machine. I have been in hospital for a month on Wednesday and am looking forward to going home. It seems the 1st 2 weeks were just spent keeping me alive as I had let things go pretty far before admitting defeat. I cant believe how much better I feel now the machine has been doing its magic. I had been so sick for so long I had forgot what feeling well was like. I like it.
The transplant is the next step, and apparently I will feel better again after that, but I find it hard to believe. I have lost a valuable member of the family and thats pretty crappy, but it beats having to put him down, which was the only other option. I will report in soon
