House of Pain- Update

EDub- More mobility every day. I expect a full recovery by this weekend.

Earl- Robust, particularly after finishing my dinner last night, while I was out with the tow truck guy when he was putting the spare on the truck since I woke up to a flat tire.

Me- Damn disaster and Coach Box said, "I don't want to scare you, but you might have to get a hip replacement if you don't get this taken care of." Eeegads.

Sarah- Oh, Sarah. I'm not sure I've said because I didn't want everyone to be all up in Sarah's business, but since she is increasingly Very Old Girl, she has been having some incontinence issues and peeing her pants while she sleeps. You can imagine the problems, especially since Sarah doesn't wear pants. Night before last she had three accidents and subsequently yesterday morning had to have a bath. Last evening I did not properly supervise chew bone hour and Earl knocked Sarah on her back and landed himself in extreme time out for a good moment. At 2:00am this morning, when I got up to let Sarah out, I nearly had a heart attack because she wouldn't move. Only her tail wagged and she wouldn't stand up. I yelled, "Sarah, Sarah get up." When I realized she couldn't get up I switched to, "Oh my god. Oh my god." Because I thought she was paralyzed. This was not helped when I finally gently picked her up to put her on her feet she collapsed. I continued with "Oh my god," while I let the rest of the Pack out and tried to figure out what I was going to do at 2:00am with paralyzed Sarah and how I was going to get my tire fixed and get to work and put Sarah to sleep which is surely what I would have to do if she were paralyzed from the neck down, when Sarah shook it off and marched out of the bedroom like nothing had ever happened. Then, I cried because I don't ever want to wake up to having to put Sarah to sleep.
