Lucky Dog
So, the case I was pretty sure was going to have to go back to surgery today beat the odds.
He didn't vomit after I sent him home, and as of this morning, he had eaten a little bit of food with no further vomiting. My boss actually called this morning to tell me that, so she must have known I was pissed off. I wasn't very ... warm ... on the phone with her.
I sometimes feel like I can't win with stuff like this. I fully expected that dog was going to need to go back to surgery. The x-rays looked surgically inclined, the dog's overall condition seemed surgically inclined...
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy as can be that the pooch didn't have to go back under. Still, makes me feel like an ass all around. You just can't tell, sometimes, I guess.
So, anyway, he's doing better. We'll see how the next few days go.
At least I got the lawn cut today, and put out some tiki torches for the backyard. Naturally, it's so windy that they won't stay lit.
Finally got to see "The Fountain" and liked it well enough. Kamenkyote thought it was a very touching story, and I think that's a nice way to sum it up.
