Well that can't be a good sign...
Sep. 29th, 2006 09:50 amWhen the cheerful, optimistic vet starts to look worried, that really can't be good.
Took Bronte in for another blood test, to check her RBC -- it was down. Last time it was about 20%, this time it was 12%. WTF. She's been on her meds, and I have been OMG so vigilant about pilling her, and now the RBC is down?
He told me not to worry too much -- outside factors could have influenced the test, or something like that. Basically I wasn't charged for the visit, and I'm to go back in on Monday, where he'll take more blood, and... I don't know. See what we can see, I guess.
I'm worried. I know he told me not to worry, but I'm worried. This is my B-bear. My Bronte. My big, sweet pudding of a cat. She's a gentle soul with teddy-bear fur, and she's sick, and she's not getting better. And it's a little upsetting. (And the fact that I'm still wildly hormonal is not helping, I'm sure.)
I'm also getting a little concerned about the vet bills. She's been going in every two weeks for... it has to be the past two months. I'd have to go back and check, but we've been doing this for a while. Darwin's going in for surgery on 10/9 (he's getting the "boys" snipped), and I know that's not going to be cheap. I've been thinking about opening myself up for proofreading, because goodness knows I have no business at all opening myself up for art commissions. ;) Though I'm not sure how good an idea that is, since just about anyone can get things proofread/critiqued for free. (I'm talking about research papers and resumes and stuff like that -- not fic, obviously.) So I don't know. I have to think of something.
Right at this very moment, I'm thinking of a cuppa and some Tylenol (we're out of Midol, dammit). And possibly a little lie-down before going grocery shopping.
