I'm optimistic about 2017. Not that this factors in to it at all but my kids turn 18 this year--just a simple change of the locks and things would be vastly different.
I'm afraid I'll lose my dog finally some time in 2017 but if I didn't, I'd start to wonder if she came from Pet Cemetery or something. She still has a brief night time coughing/gagging fit (I ruled out acid reflux....I fed her rice etc. for 6 days, took her off her cough medicine for a night and she had an episode). We'll see when she finishes her course of antibiotics if that helps. If not, I dunno, I give her a tiny bit of hydrocodone before bed and she sleeps like a baby (after acting a little goofy for awhile). If the antibiotics don't fix it, I'll probably either live with the cough or ask to keep her on that med. In all other respects, she's seemingly healthy as a horse (lungs and heart included).
I don't have immediate plans to move out but that could happen in 2017. It's really up to my husband and daughter. If she listens to her Drs., takes her medication as prescribed and improves, I'll stay. If my husband is unwilling to force that (by insisting she live elsewhere if she won't follow treatment recommendations), then I may go. FFS, if she had cancer and didn't want chemo, as long as she's under 18 it's not like we'd allow THAT. And once she's over 18, we could say "okay....go live at an assisted living facility if you're not going to accept treatment". That's where I'm at.
All in all though, I'm hoping 2017 rocks.
