Since Georgia has been sick, I've been putting my health on the back burner. I think focusing on her illness has been good and bad for me. I was so focused on Georgia that I didn't realize how bad my shoulder were. Two cortisone shots later and I'm a new person. Now I have to... Continue Reading →
In over my head…
Many things have happened in the last few months. In August of 2010, my sweet little Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Georgia Grace was diagnosed with a Chiari malformation that causes syringomyelia.
