Gasp! It's me!

I know. I haven't blogged since March. I've thot of it but just haven't been motivated. I even thot of deleting it, but decided to leave it as is.

There are many reasons why I've been absent, but I won't go into them all.

I don't have a lot of time to invest in blogging and don't know how frequently I will post. Some of it will depend on how many people read it and comment. When I started my blog it was to meet people and have friendships, since I'm so shut in all of the time. But the last few times I blogged I got the idea many weren't reading. It could be because of the infrequency of my posts.

Anyway, most of my stories will probably be about Ryan's work. He is still doing volunteer work at the zoo. He works 2 & 1/2 days and sometimes 3 full days. He absolutely loves it. No matter what kind of work he does, he loves it.

Red Rock remains his favorite animal.




Red Rock doesn't like anyone other than Ryan. Ryan gives him his shots and eyedrops. One day the Keeper was spraying him with water to cool him and he got angry and started thrashing around so much they thot he'd break the fence. So they sent for Ryan. Ryan just said "Red Rock, come here! Let's play!" and he came running to Ryan and stopped, all calm! He'll nudge Ryan's arm so that it's around his neck. Ryan plays ball with him! He'd kind of like Ryan's dog! But he's a wild animal and will bite or kick or butt anyone else.

Ryan has moved up in the Volunteer level and now carries a radio and can be left in charge on his own. He works with the mountain lions, red panda's, jaguars, in addition to all that he had done before. He can play with the one cougar, Maya, because her former owner mistreated her and she is crippled.

As for my health, I am doing reasonably well. Slowing down some since it's been a few months since my IV's and due to our weather. It's been in the mid to upper 90's and humid for the past few weeks and that's very hard for breathing. I get quite tired easily, for whatever reason.

I returned for my 3 mo. checkup at the CF Clinic this week and my lung function was 39%, down from 44%, but not too bad a drop.

Well, I hope there are a few people left who will read this and leave a comment so that I know it was read.

I'll try to post at least once a week.
