A couple of days ago my niece made a cryptic note on FaceBook about praying for her Daddy. We weren't sure if she meant her biological father or her step-father. Turns out the latter. He had been having headaches and vomiting, and the hospital in Jackson wasn't equipped for the brainscans needed. Yesterday they did the tests and discovered that he had some bleeding on the brain. More tests showed an aneurysm, and today they went in to try to fix things. He had a narrow blood vessel that had split, and they did their best. Now the waiting is. A week or more in ICU.
And here I was feeling accomplished because I did a butt load of work before 9am. Rebates back to AT&T, financial aid forms, transferred all my numbers on the phone, sharpened 100 pencils for TCAP.
The afternoon is another story. As my wife came home with her sister (not the one married to the patient), the dogs got excited. And is the custom, the Border Collie tries to tell the Jack Russel to not bark so much. And the Jack, well, she doesn't take discipline so well, and they fight. Today the fight was too rough. Blood everywhere, and a trip to the emergency vet.
Meredith, our Jack Russell has lost her right eye. More traumatic for my wife, having been at the hospital all day, but a general not-fun type of thing. Surgery is over now, we will bring her home tomorrow. Then off to get her a skull and crossbones doggie sweater.
