Ugh. I am so sorry, my peeps. This has been a very nasty week.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I feel bad about being an observer to the grief and being psyched about the upcoming Royal Wedding. Too bad the actual grief can't be carved up and shared and processed.
I'm so sorry, Fred.
Bad news keeps coming for Buffistas this month, WTH? Stop now.
Sympathy to all. Was going to bitch about surprise surgery yesterday, but seems like I've had one of the least awful weeks. Gud, yeah April can definitely fuck itself. And Jilli and Fred and ... well year really really sorry.
I'm so sorry Fred.
Yeah, I'm going to go with fuck April, especially for jobs and pets.
Fred - I'm so sorry.
{{Gud}} I am so so sorry.
This is just not a good April.
Cross-post from Bitches:
Thanks. Victor didn't suffer. He never really regained consciousness after the surgery. And if it was FIP, all he had to look forward to was a few days to a week in the hospital, looking forward to our evening visits.
He was lively last night, climbing all over us. His movements were more confident, his irises were looking better. The jaundice in his eyes wasn't getting worse. The vet said his lungs were clearing up -- if they hadn't, I don't think she would have approved the surgery.
I knew there was a chance that he wouldn't make it through the surgery. But it still hurts incredibly.
