what a nightmare of a day.
started well. i woke up from an odd dream where i was in the hospital for a cruciate repair. odd. but they let me stay awake for the procedure and just gave me a local block. but i fell asleep anyways, i think, because i woke in the dream to find a long thin scar along the outer part of my knee. but i was recovering quickly. walking within two days.
i planned to do some yoga and read bbc while my coffee water boiled. stretch out, finally feeling the weight of the ferret flu worked out of my body. get some work done, run after class, ready for a beautiful day.
and then my roommate accidentally shut panera's tail in the door and off to the emergency room we go.
(by the way, accidents happen, so this isn't a big deal. but worrisome as cornell's student discount is only 10%. and the emergency fee alone is 130. i'm about to hyperventilate. and cry. because i KNOW how much this is going to cost me and i don't really have the funds to spare. and i'm also about to cry because he's going to look so stupid with a stumpy tail. sooooo stupid. and it's bleeding, and he's hiding.)
so i miss three hours of class sitting in the waiting room. they look at him, and take him for the back for pain medication. where he immediately starts purring and kneading and loving EVERYONE cause that's how he is. finally i get the estimate, 500-600. panic. i ask her to keep it at 350. she says she can try but i need to be prepared that it may be 500-600. but she will cut corners where she can.
seriously i am not going to euthanize my cat because he needs his tail chopped off. nor am i going to give him up. yes, i will go beg people i don't want to ask for money. and i don't even get on the if you don't have money for care then you shouldn't have pets high horse. because that's ridiculous. people have pets because they make life better and SHIT HAPPENS.
my roommate was devastated. i wanted to cry.
where he then made 15 new mommies and everyone wanted to take him home.
and while we wait, my roommate gets into a car accident to boot.
ugh.
what a terrible day.
he's home now. with a cone of shame and a dumb stumpy tail. and i have no desire to do my work, or cook, or anything.
sigh.
