The challenge this week is to use the third definition of the word "Whatever", meaning something not important. Here is my entry:
An unusually pretty dog, had an extraordinarily
ugly accident. The pretty dog lost the ability to use her hind legs, this
was serious. Uncontrollable grief accompanied the owner to their local veterinarian.
“Your dog has had a spinal cord injury, and will need to use
a walking cart for the rest of her life. I’m so sorry.”
“Isn’t there anything we can do?”
“There is a surgery, but with the extent of her injury, positive
results are not expected.”
“How much is the surgery?”
“The surgery is three thousand dollars.”
“I just don’t have that kind of money, I barely scrape by
every month.”
“Your dog will adjust to a walking cart, I suggest finding
one as soon as you can, so you can get her used to walking with it.”
Such grim news emptied a nearly barren wallet.
*
A kind person donated a custom-made cart; the pretty dog
slowly became used to walking in it. A bag specially made for paralyzed dogs
was ordered. It was to be used while not in the cart to prevent further injury
from dragged legs.
Then something amazing happened:
While secured in the bag, the owner noticed that the pretty
doggie could stand and even take a step, or two on her own. An excited email
was sent to the nurse who gave the initial bad news, in hopes that a response would
shine with positivity. No such email arrived. Ignored. Whatever, ignoramous!
Not one to throw in the towel, the owner persisted in
pursuit of an alternative solution and found a perfect one. Holistic acupuncture
and laser treatments was such an alternative. Researched results were
stunningly optimistic.
The first round of treatments were performed on their first
visit. The pretty doggie took them like a champ. The positive outlook from their
new vet was not grim. Weekly treatments, at-home exercises, and a special back-end
leach, will show incredible improvements with loving patience.
Positive thoughts create positive outcomes. Negative, create
negative. The owner is positive.
