Client with cancer
Found out just before the Thanksgiving appointment that one of my clients had a brain tumor removed. The hubby called to cancel the appointment since the female schnauzer had a lump removed from her neck and couldn't be groomed and his wife had a brain tumor removed!
I go to the December appointment and she was getting the radiation every day. Hubby had to drive her waaayyy across town. Radiation is done and she's doing the chemo now. I was at a client's house around the corner and she mentioned that their house was up for sale so we all thought the worst. I went to groom the house and she's still going thank god. She said since her hubby has to stay home to care for her and chauffer her around, he hasn't been working so they put their house on the market and her car to cut back on costs.
Well, the 2 dogs are easy to do and I get them done in 1 1/2 hrs. I bring the dogs in and they asked how much. I told them a total $40 less than normal. He says, "that's not right, it's more than that." I said it's this price and if he wrote it for a penny more I was walking out the door w/out the check! I had to insist on it a couple of times lol. He gave in....good man lol! Do as the woman says and all is well! I sat on the couch and was talking w/the wife. She was in tears saying she was gonna make it up to me and I didn't have to do that. I told her she was not going to and all I wanted her to do was concentrate on getting better. Also said I was fine, my bills are paid and I didn't have to do it but I wanted to.
She showed me her bald head with the nasty scar saying how ugly she/it was. Told her bald is beautiful! Poor thing is so depressed right now..... Me being the realist I am said it is what it is and all the crying in the world won't change the fact and it only brings your body down more. No matter the outcome, this is the hardest part. Stay positive and fight! She goes for an MRI on the 19th, so saying my prayers that all goes well.
Please say a prayer for Robin and all of those who are sick or down on their luck.
