That little ray of sunlight

Today is the daylight to yesterdays cloud coverage, which is a good thing. Granted it started way too early for my body's liking but the amount achieved compensates for that. OK the jobs done are highly mundane by most peoples standards, but for me its a great leap forward.

It started with the baby of the family lil Cheyenne's trip to the vets. 8 weeks ago he took on a car and for some reason the car won. Anyway this lil cat beat the odds thanks to a kind driver who actually took responsibility for her actions, and took Cheyenne straight to vets who were able to treat him for the shock and injuries. When we got him home he had little movement in his right leg and no light response on his right eye. He really was a sorry little thing and the vet told us we had to face the fact he may be left half blind, with brain injury and could even need his right leg amputated. Fortunately God and Cheyenne had other thoughts on the matter. With in 24 hours 97% of his eyesight returned and after 8 weeks the vet agrees with me about 70% of the leg mobility is restored and he can use it wash and jump. Granted it will never be perfect and he still needs a little pain killer to ease it a couple of times a week, but he passed with flying colours. That's said it took 3 humans and a 1 dog to get the toad into the basket to get him there and then there was small matter of extracting him off the air con unit in the vets surgery when the vet asked him to walk round the room. I care to point out the air con unit was 7+ft off the floor.

So that was the start of the day, we have also had the issue of mums car MOT today and to be honest I seriously thought it was going to be beyond financial viability as it is as old in car years as its owner. But again we were plesantly surprised , apart from a battery that had been er battered and a brake that had seen better days the car lives and we aren't wincing too badly.

Then in my wisdom I voluntereed to do the shopping and get the cash out for the car. Armed with a husband come chauffeur we set off.. Now after all my complaining about people not giving the less abled any leway, what happens? Idiot husband had a brain freeze about how far and how fast I can move trying to park the car miles away from the shop. So after a little tantrum I got delievered to a closer location and started my errans. It was whilst in the bank I met a gentleman who was in a slightly worse state than me with his back. Being the nice gent he was he not only gave me hope with his own story.. yes we got chatting, hwe also said he looks forward to seeing me at the clinics as he believes will meet at some of them. To me that was the best part of the day, being able to share experiences and getting a posistive response from a stranger. For some reason even the very tiring trip round the shops felt a little easier and I no longer felt like I am the only person in this state.

This leads me to the joys of todays post I finally have a date for pain management clinic granted its a whole month away but I have finally got in  and there is that glimmer of hope infront of me. Now I just have to get to through the next 31 days and maybe someone can ease this torture. I am not asking for a miricle and the pain to just go away but if they can dull it to a livable level I will be very thankful. That will aloow me to join the world of employment and so on, something I sorely miss.

So today I am basking in that rare thing sunlight in the british summer, hope everyone else is.
