When Ted was having his nose issues before his surgery (sounded like whining vacuum 24 hours a day and 4 vets couldn't diagnose the problem), I was so exhausted (he couldn't sleep, I couldn't sleep) that by the time I made it to the specialty hospital I begged them to keep him, even though they could not do the CT scan and rhinoscopy for another day (cause he had already been put under anesthesia at the prior vet and they didn't want to subject it to him two days in a row). I must have looked like a nutcase crying and saying, "Can you please keep him tonight. I just can't do this. I'm so tired." Lack of sleep makes it 100 times harder to deal with what you're going through. Just a little rest will refuel you; so don't be afraid to ask friends or family or even the hospital to keep him so you can recharge your batteries (the overnight fee was minimal). Hope you get good news from the Unviversity today. Everything's going to be okay. xox |
