Ever feel like life's having fun when it kicks you while you're down?
Amber's not getting better after all. We had to take her to the emergency vet today because even after they drained the "abcess", it didn't shrink at all, and now she has a really bad limp and sores on her eyelids.
The surgery they *think* will help is going to cost around 2 thousand dollars.
My grandfather's alzheimers has just gotten much worse. All of a sudden. He didn't remember who my grandma was, or my dad, and we had to take the keys away from him because he's not safe driving anymore.
The worst part is that I have no excuse to be so depressed and stressed about all this, because it's my dad who has to directly deal with it all. HIS dad is in the bad stages of an incureable, mentally incapacitating disease, it's HIS spring break vacation that will be cancelled to pay for Amber's surgery, and HE'S the only one who's holding the rest of us together.
Fuck, I just want to cry but I can't justify it. I don't know how my dad is keeping it together so well. This sucks so bad.
Thanks anyway for all the nice messages, guys. Maybe Amber will be fine after all. I don't know anymore.
