A Very Long Year - The end of the road

All sorts of horrible things have happened this year and some not so bad. My very good friend and constant companion died suddenly - my GSD YANU. Lots of hospital admissions resulting in preplanned surgery and one that was not expected. I mean how can you not know when your hip is shot to pieces and has totally disintegrated as far as a joint is concerned. it was something to do with referred pain. Anyhow this next Friday should be the end of all that (for a while anyway) At least I may be able to have some normality back in my life. I don't wish to moan but it has been a tough one!
