Mr. Willie Got Run Over By a Raindeer, or Maybe it was a Car (?) He's not talkin!
Little Willie got hit by a car 3 weeks ago. He broke his back leg, and TONS of scrapes and yucky stuff everywhere. We had him trapped in one of the kids rooms all this time so he wouldn't walk too much.
Just yesterday we allowed him to come downstairs to see how he would do. He's so timid now, noises really make him nervous. But, he runs down stairs with the three good legs and then uses the fourth leg when walking.
The bad part is that Annabelle, our other cat, who used to BE the prey, is now the predator. And, she's really mean and doesn't want Willie around at all.
Cats will be cats! But not outside! Not anymore!

6-25-08 Update: Mr. Willie is so much better now. His hair has grown back and his leg is better, but he still limps.

Blogging for Awareness: ME/CFS Day May 12, 2008
I have to admit, talking about CFS is something I do not enjoy. I don't want to be defined by an illness, but feel compelled to write in support of ME/CFS Awareness Day. Here goes ...
Before 2005 I was an energetic, physically active woman. I worked hard and long hours. With 2 children already, we had a baby when I turned 40 and I returned to school part time. I was always taking on projects at our church and our children’s functions.
I took care of everyone except me.
My life now is so different. My family and I have changed our lives drastically. Not only am I unable to work a job that I love, I no longer volunteer or go to school. Any activity will put me in bed for days with exhausting fatigue. And, many days I can’t even get out of bed. I have drastically reduced my activity as a means of coping with this illness.
That is what Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is all about. And that is what over 800,000 American's suffer with each day.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is real. It's a debilitating illness. It changes lives.
Support ME/CFS Day on May 12, 2008.
And thanks to my husband, kids, siblings, and of course, my parents for supporting me! I'm one of the lucky ones!
