The last shows I attended were at the Ballston Spa shows in NY, where I was dragging my left leg around due to a torn meniscus, had a large bone spur and a torn Achilles tendon. Then in September, I was sitting at the dinning room table with my husband and I asked him for a pillow so I could lay down on the floor, he asked if I could make it to the bed and I said no, just a pillow, Nick asked me If I wanted him to call 911 I said no, Nick said hell with this and called. They took me away for 5 days and found nothing wrong with my heart, however.... I was having sever pain from the right side of my neck , over my ear and to the top of my forehead over my right eye. No one ever checked my head, ( I had a sever fall in 05) messed with my brain, (I know, no excuse for the way I act) hahah well, one week later, I woke up and could not see out of my right eye. Went to the emergency room and they found out I had a stroke where the vein busted behind my eye. So far I had my Achilles fixed and that was no joke, had 4 sessions with needles stuck throught the eye to clear up the blood and just found out I will have to continue the needles for the rest of my life every 6 weeks. Am I quiting showing or breeding dogs....LIKE HELL!!! I think God has other plans for me. Infact, Yvonne has been mentoring me in my breeding program. For the first time since I started in shepherds, I have a mentor and a good friend. Thanks Yvonne.. Marie & Nick Fedorow Regal Thunder Home of Ch. Gia, Ch. Mikey, Ch. Xena, Ch.
