I fell at work last night and broke my knee.
Oh Asmo! How bad? Is it bones and/or ligaments?
Not sure of the extent of the damage  yet. Still havent seen the doctor.

Doctor just left. No break after all. However, there is a lot of swelling and "a significant amount of arthritis" in my right knee. Like I needed a doctor to tell me that.

Velma and I should get matching walkers. I sprained my ankle tonight chasing cows. Work. Will. Suck. Tomorrow.

Actually, the doctor did say they were going to try to get me up and moving around with a walker. I think they are going to have to take the IV line out of the back of my hand.

Well that's relatively good news. Hope things clear up soon.

That's nasty, Velma.  Hot whisky and lemon will help, if you add enough whisky.

Slipped away before I got a photo.

Pretty sure I'm becoming lactose intolerant. I was in denial for a while but I did an experiment where I cut out all dairy for a week then last night I went out for ice cream last night and I am seriously regretting that today. Plus I just bought a whole tub of delicious chocolate ice cream.   ;-;

Grumpy isn't quite the word.  Heartbroken is more like it.

We had to put our favorite cat to sleep today.  He was diagnosed with renal failure just two weeks ago, and he went downhill really fast before we even had a chance to try and treat him.  In the last two weeks alone, he lost 3 pounds on top of the 5 pounds he had already lost leading up to his diagnosis, which is a very significant weight loss for a cat.  It got worse over the last three days.  He wasn't eating or drinking, he couldn't use the litter box, he could barely walk, he smelled like death and he was meowing like he was distressed and in pain.  We could've spent thousands trying to stabilize/treat him, but the vet (who put him to sleep) told us it was a crap shoot and that it likely wouldn't help at such an advanced stage of his illness.  We might've been able to prolong his life, but it would've been selfish to do so.  I'm just furious, because the emergency vet who diagnosed him made it seem like he wasn't as sick as he was, mainly because they wanted 2k to do "intensive treatment" that apparently wouldn't have made a difference anyway.  I was prepared to do treatment with him at home, because I'm more than capable of administering the subcutaneous fluids and medications he would've needed, but I didn't know what to do because I saw two different vets and they each told me completely contradictory things in regards to treating for KD at home.  I was still researching our best options for treating him without emptying our bank account, and he just took a sudden turn for the worst.  I thought we would have more time.  I was not ready for this, and I feel like I'm not emotionally equipped to deal with this right now.

I know that the right thing and the easiest thing are rarely the same thing, but fuck, doing the right thing shouldn't hurt this bad.
