I try to be strong for everyone. I try not to unload on everyone, I don't even unload on my spouse. But today kind of put me over the edge.
I woke up and could barely get out of bed. I cannot remember ever having pain like this. I went to the ED because I couldn't stand it. After Xrays, and the doc showing me that I have an extra vertebrae and a bunch of degeneration and arthritis. It just bothered me. He believes I have Sciatica, and that tweeking my back, just made the arthritis worse.
Then I took Roxy to the vet. I wanted to get her annual checkup, and get her scheduled for a teeth cleaning. She has had a little bump on her side for a month or so, I pointed it out and the vet became quite concerned. After she did a needle aspiration she came back and told me that it was a Mast Cell Tumor. We scheduled surgery for Weds. morning. I am blown away. I had a big ole cry........Between work, Daddy, the Board, my new back issues, and now Roxy............I don't know how much more?!?!?
I love this dog. She loves me, and I have never loved another creature like this. I don't know what I will have to do, or spend, but I am gonna take care of her. Please God..........
