Gilly

[stonebender]

She was supposed to be home today, but she started bleeding. There is a blood clotting deficiency that runs in Doberman's. We did test for the problem before the operation but evidently that test sometimes isn't comprehensive. She will be in the hospital at least one more day. They're giving her a blood transfusion with extra clotting factor to control bleeding. I know many of you are reading loracs's Live journal as well as mine. She's a little quicker at posting than I am. She's better at keeping people informed. I think I'm doing OK except for today. Given other people's difficulties I feel a little stupid worrying about a dog. I still think she'll be fine, but I'm feeling like crap.

All the people directly caring for Gilly have been great. I know that I'm probably looking for something to be mad at rather than feel scared or sad. I know I'm overly sensitive today. But the people who take care of billing in vets offices I'm about ready to strangle. Again and again they lose paperwork or the paperwork never get sent or whatever. Yet they are very prompt in making sure we can pay the bills. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr No need to respond I know I'm being irrational and I will be better later, but damn!

It's awfully weird to be in the house by myself. A while ago someone knocked at the door and it scared the hell out of me.

I really hope that things look up for Gilly soon. It sounds like at least they're on top of the problem!
