Hi all......I am fine and was blessed not to have any damage to my home. I honestly don't know what I would have done with this crew I have right now.
Friday I had to let one of my precious fosters go. Matty had been with me since 2006. Some of you may have known him....he was a little guy who was living in the woods and was quite feral when he came to me. Over the years he got better, but he always carried some of the fear with him. Poor little angel. He had been having cervical disc issues and was being treated, but suddenly late Thurs night he got really weird acting and he wanted nothing to do with food on Fri morning. Took him in and they xray'd him thinking maybe it was his neck getting worse...omg he had a mass in his chest.
We think he had lymphoma...his one kidney was huge and also his liver. He also had a temp and pneumonia. All changes that came really fast. Thank God it happened when it did because there were NO vets open for a few days starting Saturday....not even the EC or Gulf Coast. All flooded. The thought of him suffering for days makes me sick to think about. Then, on top of it, my Olivia has been on a downward spiral. My vet loaded me up with lots of meds for her...and he called me on Monday and checked on her....also Tuesday. They are open now, thank God. Right now she really is day to day. Just keeping her comfortable.
So, it has been a long week. Sorry I haven't posted much...my pc went off a couple of times during short (thank goodness) power outages and I didn't restart it right away each time.
I hope everyone else is doing ok. There has been so much devastation around here...it is so depressing to watch on tv. I have avoided going out to look. I went through flooding years ago in NJ and it really is upsetting when people come around to gawk. It will take a very long time for people to put things back together here. And, the people down in the Rockport area...just so sad. This was a horrible storm.
