Last week the puppy sliced my finger open with his tooth (last night I took that tooth out, first puppy tooth gone )

We didn't have a good night, Caleb and I, at the training class. There were too many ppl and dogs there for one thing... We usually only have 5 and there were 7 plus the trainers big poodle last night.

The store had music and ads going on the PA in the background, and though I asked the trainer to have it turned off or lowered, she wouldn't.

There was a man there for the 3rd? week in a row asking about my dog. I feel he wants to take him. Last night I ignored his questions. But he keeps trying to pet Caleb and make friends with him. Only the dachund in the ring came barking at the guy, knowing I was uncomfortable with him. Guess Caleb hasn't learned how yet.

Caleb wasn't feeling good, he'd had his update shots Wednesday. And I didn't know it till midway through, but he'd not done his business before going to the class. He wasn't comfortable.

Caleb and I are both tired by 8pm when the class begins. And an hour is way too long for me to do ANYthing We have 3 more weeks?

And then... the inevitable happened: I stumbled and fell. Not sure what all contributed, but my fatigue and tendency to drop foot, the mats were kilter on the floor, there were 8 ppl and 8 dogs in the ring and we were all moving at the same time, at difference paces.

My feet didn't go forward at some point, and I fell on my knees, and on Caleb, and when he squealed, they stopped and noticed... by that time I had landed on the concrete floor (right knee first, both hands...which even in splints are paining me still) and then I ended up on my back.

And they let me lie there.
Caleb came over and stood by me.

It seemed like several minutes, though it may have only been one, and I rolled over a bit to try and get up. This is near impossible for me in the first place, T even helps me up from his sofa. As I was almost up, the trainer took my elbow and steadied me at least.

And that was it. After a few minutes it was obvious to Caleb and me that we were so out of sync and I took him out of the ring, and a lady asked if I was ok (finally!) I said no... and that PT wasn't til Monday.

Caleb had trouble in the store as we tried to escape, and I jerked his leash and he slid into the side of a display, then his mouth was bleeding (thus the puppy tooth that was loose at the vets, became looser.) But I couldn't tell what was making him bleed and no one offered to help.

I even went to the manager at the cashier... and they looked at me like I had monkies on my face.

And today? I drove my mother and her friend about, with their red hat society day... scrapbooking, lunch, movies.. 7 hours of which I felt like doing none of it. (God will bless me quickly I hope ) ANd where I need help myself normally, and esp after the fall, I had to guide many of the group (even one who is afraid of the dark and wouldn't let go in the theater) to their seats one by one in front of the audience... oh I'm not whining really...

Just too tired. Every time I set a parameter for my mother in that I can't do for her, she finds a way around it or a new something there's no parameter set exactly for These 87 yr olds didn't get that age by not being clever

I'm in over my head and simply must make some decisions here... but I'm in no shape to do that, and if not me, WHO?

Guess the cloud rest worked I'm still trashed after Thursday night fall, and then mom requiring me for nearly all day yesterday... but the housekeeper came / began today and I didn't have to do a thing! Caleb is resting already, he didn't even wait for me to go to bed...he's in the middle of it!

I'm doing much better than normally after such a thing... so I just need to get through tomorrow without too much compensation for what hurts, and then PT on Monday! ouch no dancing.
thanks all
