I feel pretty awful right now. Barb is sick and so I couldn't see Tink today. I can't take the chance of catching what she has and have my surgery postponed.
I had plenty to keep me busy, training all morning at work, my pre-op meeting with the surgeon in the afternoon, rehearsal and singing tonight at church. But I am so sad that I didn't get to love Tink today. Gosh I miss her, I felt a little sick to my stomach that I couldn't see her. But I know it's the best thing. Does that sound silly that I would miss her that much?! I would never have thot I would love a little dog that much. I know that she's not human, but she certainly fills an empty place in my life since the kids are gone and I'm alone.
Barb said Tink did very well today. Ate some more food out of her hand, and is trying very hard to move her front legs. She is holding her head up better and better. Barb said she really tbelieves Tink knows she has to work really hard to get better. She hasn't gained any weight back yet, but she will, I'm sure. Her blood work came back today and the vet said she is stable on her meds and her liver function has plateaued. So, that's very good.
Now she has a chance to start moving forward instead of treading water!
