I Need a Vacation

I took five weeks off from work to help Marty while he recovers from his knee surgery and to do the daily household chores that he helped with but couldn't do after surgery. I also hoped to catch up on a lot of personal things such as sewing a quilt, making Christmas gifts, organizing the kitchen cupboards. I only have two weeks of time off left and all I have accomplished are the daily chores.

With Rebound being as sick as he is, I have been taking him to the clinic every few days for an exam and blood work. We, the Dr. included in the "we", still don't know what is causing his illness. He won't eat so we are feeding him with a syringe and giving him sq fluids. (sq fluids; a needle placed into a skin fold and LRS fluids administered). He is dehydrated but since he has pneumonia, an IV for fluids is dangerous since it might overload his lungs with more liquid.

I would like a real vacation of at least one day.
