Many thanks for all the kind thoughts. I wish I could say that things went better.
I was told that if I arrived by 7:30, Bartleby would be 'early in the schedule.' I just got home. We left the hospital at 4:30.
When they brought him out to me, I nearly went ballistic.
They removed the wrong growth on his back.
Seriously, folks? I showed you two small masses to excise. You couldn't mark them with a damned dot?
The vet spluttered, "Oh, it would be better for his recovery if we do the right on now, or I could see him again next week. At no charge, of course."
You think?
He's whimpering in pain, he's frantic over seeing me after all this stress of the day and you'd like to take him away again for more...unsedated...pain. OH, you are doing it for free? Well, okay then!
Thank goodness I had our friend M drop us off and retrieve us. I had to go outside before I did damage.
His eye looks terrible, but that was expected.
The one bright spot is that, while they were extracting the broken tooth, they noticed another was diseased and took that one too.
All I ate all day was a half handful of peanuts and I didn't get much sleep. I'm massively fractured and upset.
It will pass now that we are home, but it has been a bitch of a day.
Again, thanks for the good thoughts. He's so unhappy, disoritented and drugged, but he is alive and in his little bed, so life is fine.
What a day of suckitude, bonny. I'm sorry you and Bartleby had to go through all that. But I'm glad he's home with you now.
Tep, go Team Claritin! I hope it works for you.
Welcome back, Erin. Much recuperation~ma to you.
bonny, I'm sorry about the whole day. I swear it's something in the air.
ION:
My workplace wants me to pay over $600 to them for my medical insurance for October and November, as well as my life insurance, and short and log term disability. Oh, and I have no income, because the short-term disability people are still "investigating" if I had a pre-existing condition, so no $$.
Not sure where I can get a spare $600, unless a buyer comes along for the Grand Am, and soon.
So glad Bartleby is doing well,sorry about what you had to go through.
My day has sucked in a small way. Nosebleed last night interrupted my sleep, then had a really bad one this aftertoon. The nosebleed itself was no so bad - I know how to deal with it, though it is a bit tedious. But afterwords the bathroom looked like a horror movie. I had to clean blood off the mirror,three walls, the floor,and of course me. real PITA.
bonny, that is AWFUL. I would be seeing red, too.
Daniel, I am so sorry.
Daniel, I'm sorry about what you are going through. Can you tell your work place you will have to owe them for a few months? I don't quite understand: you have to pay THEM for your temporary disability.
And medical ma for Fred's DH.
{{bonny and Bartleby}} so sorry! I cant believe they screwed up like that. I would be rageface, too.
Ugh, Daniel, that is just...I don't even know what to say. I'm so sorry. Hugs and ~ma just don't seem to cut it. I hope you can find a buyer for the car, or something.
