Switch & Sway's Day @ The Vet
So reluctantly I took Switch and Sway to the vet.
I know I said no surgery on Sway but I wanted to see if he agreed with me. So I wrote a note about what has been going on with her (and she had gotten better). He called me midafternoon and said that he wasn't keen on doing the surgery. Apparently she has several growths now, and to remove any or all of them....well neither of us were sure that it would help her or make it all worse. So she will be on metacam, a painkiller/anti-inflammatory that I've mentioned before as a therapy once or twice a week. I'll maintain her as long as I can essentially.
Switch seems to have come out of her cyst removal/spay ok. She's still very tired and is sleeping as I'm typing this, but she has eaten. I did bribe her with a piece of belgian waffle that I made this morning for them tonight, and some cheese, but she ate it just fine.
Sway seems ok too. The day stressed her out a lot. She kept Switch company very well though. Slept right next to her in the carrier while I finished my day up at work. I love my babies so much.
I have to figure out a way to remove the exercise wheel in their condo though. It's attached. Sway kind of uses it, but not so much anymore and it's just in her way when she comes down to the lower levels.
My depression hit a peak yesterday. I'm just steeped in sadness. Part of it was knowing I had to take my rats in for surgery. Part of it is being alone and having nobody that can support me in this. Part of it being how much I completely loathe my job. Part of it my financial disrepair. Part of it that I just don't ever seem to have enough time. Part of it being the fact that I just can't seem to get healthy. Part of it being that I'm unhappy with my living situation. I mean, it just goes on and on.
Some of that is very much my fault, my decisions. Some of it I very much can't help right now. Some of it goes hand in hand with each other.
I want it to change. As they say if you don't play the lottery you can't win it. I guess I need to do something to change my situation- but what do I start with? What's going to give me the best ripple effect? I think it's a new job.....but I haven't seen much online. I need to find that situation where I -"know someone who knows someone". The best jobs are usually word of mouth. I need to get better connected. I also need to figure out what the hell I want to do.
Getting a job I might like better will possibly make me happy enough to feel like going out to meet more people. Maybe make more money (better be). Fix the financial thing or at least make it better. I would definitely be healthier because I wouldn't have the severe allergy problem anymore. I think it would help.
I need help.
