tarotgalThis week has been full of highs and lows. I just got back from a trip to NYC for work. Met with out consultants and had a very productive meeting that affirmed a lot of things that will probably now be ignored by management. Went to Book Expo America for the afternoon and got a nice sense of it again. Got a few nice books as well, but didn't get there in time to get anything signed by authors. Had a crappy time afterward at a restaurant where I felt incredibly sick and we all had a huge heated discussion about the state of our workplace. Then I saw Potted Potter, which was great. I'm glad I got to go see it.
Meanwhile, back at home. My car failed state inspection and needs new tires, so there's $800 (including the cost of the inspection, emissions inspection, oil change, and wiper blades as well). So I have to take it back on Monday.
On Tuesday, my contractor might be back with samples that he should have had the first time so we can properly match my existing siding. I basically just paid for labor and siding that didn't match my house and now we have to do it all over again with labor and supplies. Worst part is, this would have been avoided if I'd just trusted my gut to begin with and gone with my original decision on the project. But my parents know more about this than I do and they and my contractor both suggested something else. So... yay. Money down the dtrain.
Last Sunday night, Maxwell stopped eating again. Monday, he didn't eat more than one treat. Tuesday morning he ate a little, but I took him in that evening. They gave him fluids and anti-nausea shot but that didn't help. They did a complete blood work panel and everything came back completely normal on that. So while I was gone, Mom took him in for x-rays. They discovered his intestine was bunched and immediately did exploratory surgery. They found a cyst on his kidney, I think it was, so they biopsied it. They didn't find any obstructions. His liver was inflamed because he wasn't eating, but that's it. He's still not eating. They've got an IV going and they're feeding him with a syringe. They let me go back and see him today when I got home from NYC. He was a little loopy on the meds but stuck his head out for me to pet his chin, which is his favorite. I tried to give him food but he drooled and smacked and refused it. The next step would be another surgery to put in a feeding tube. But we're waiting on the pathology results. And if those aren't good, I might have to put him down. I'm a complete mess. He's only, like, 10. Or 11? I'm NOT ready for this. Not AT ALL. He was acting so normally and then BOOM all of a sudden. Seriously can't stop crying. I just want him to eat and start feeling better. It was so painful to leave him at the vet and come home without him. I couldn't sleep much last night. Took me until 3 to finally fall asleep. I just want him to eat again.
Anyway, I was going to do a fic project in June, but I don't think that's happening now. I don't know what's happening any more. I'm just doing what has to get done and crying the whole time.
