Healing and looking ahead

Maizy had her surgery on Tuesday afternoon, had a sleepover in Salt Lake at the surgeon's office, and we picked her up on Wednesday morning.  She has stitches, a shaved leg, three medicines, and a long recovery ahead of her.  She requires kennel resting, with a few short visits out with us, for 4 to 6 weeks.  Now she also has to wear a cone because she was licking her incision.  Poor little girl.  She thinks we are the meanest people on the planet, but still loves us somehow:)  We are glad she is on her way back to health, and thankful for those who helped us get her to this point.

In other news, I GOT A JOB!  I lost control for a minute there.  For months, I have been trying to find a good job to help us.  I received a call on Thursday night from Intermountain Healthcare, offering me a position as a Patient Service Representative at their Springville Instacare.  It is a part-time on call position, but the pay is good.  They actually offered me a better wage than the one they listed, because they said  I have good experience.  I will work about 25 hours each week, and plan to keep my library job also.  It will be difficult to do both, but we need the money so badly.  I must try.

Yesterday, I went to UVRMC and had my drug test, TB scratch test, blood draw, and filled out paperwork for the new job.  My orientation is on June 6th and then I can work.  Yay!  I am so thankful for this opportunity, and hope it grows into something really good.
