It's been quite a week for us. My morning attendant, Stacy has been suffering from some serious pain. She had it before and we thought it had been taken care of, but she ended up in the hospital last week. So we've been struggling without her. She returned home a couple days ago, but she just called and it looks like we'll have to go another week without her. She's sounding discouraged. We may have to find a new morning attendant. I really hope not.

Our dog, Gilly has been having some trouble with her hind legs and she's been in pain too. We were able to get a vet appointment today. We think we have a treatment that will work but we're not certain. Here's a report on Gilly from my partner loracs. In case you are not following her livejournal.

Shit, I didn't know about Stacy. I hope she gets better, for her sake even more than for yours. If you talk to her, tell her I'm thinking of her.

Hang in there.

Stacy did come back to work last week. I'm not sure that was such a great idea. She seemed very depressed and talked quite a bit about "retiring". I'm still not sure she's getting proper medical treatment, but what do I know? This week has been the first couple of days that she seemed closer to the old Stacy. After talking to her, I really think she's continuing to work for me because she wants to, not so much because she has to (although I'm sure with a teenage boy the money helps). I have made it quite clear to her that I support whatever decision she makes. I would hate to do without her, but if that's what's good for her of course I want her to do it.

I just read serenejournal's posting about Gilly -- I'm glad things look much better than feared, and hope all goes very well. I hope things go better for Stacy ASAP as well!
