Plans: home from K-State

Outcome: Home from K-State mid/late afternoon.  Toby’s eyes are healed well enough, but now he’s dealing with glaucoma in BOTH eyes.  So, here’s the rub:
Toby’s usual Vet does not do glaucoma pressure checks, so he’ll be seen at Blair Doon Veterinary Wed. July 8th.
Call into Air Capital Veterinary to have Toby’s records transferred over to Blair Doon.
Toby is to be seen again at K-State at K-State Mon. July 13th.
Toby’s cone has been removed.

Rune Lesson: Heimo’s story is one of the amazing stories in the Norse collection.  It simply says that Heimo is the genetic connection between the gods and the Germanic people. He is charged with protecting Asgard from any onslaught.  So Heimo is set for our own protection as well.  He is charged with protecting us from any incoming challenges.  We are protected from any external power as it is squelched.

Though our misfortunes may rise and fall like the tides, the chance of prosperity, like the eternal sea brimming with fish, is still there. Like the salt-sea spray, awaken us to the possibilities that surround us, so that our nets may be cast wide and return full of life’s gifts. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, NIRDU, as we honor the Nirdu that resides in us all!

I didn’t know my father well.  I remember him going from walking with a cane, to immobilization in a wheelchair, to death in the hospital.  I remember we spent SO MUCH TIME at the VA here in Wichita then over to St. Joseph when he became too much for the VA to handle.  Sure, when he died in October ‘63, I was greatly affected negatively.  He was my first recollection of death.  Death scared the shit out of this 9yr old boy.  Even more so, when John Kennedy died November ‘63, all those fears and memories came flooding back.

Toby and I out for his first walk to Meeka Park in MONTHS!  Why?  Remember, when Toby was blinded from cataracts, sidewalks told him he was safe.  One block east of Meeka Park, there was no sidewalk, so I just didn’t want to take the chance.  It amounted to a 4-block, well behaved, walk.
