like a bad dream

today i took fry to the vet so they could reassure me that the thing that just appeared on her chin is only an abrasion. they didn't do that. they thought it might be cancerous.

the next hour was spent with me trying to hold her down while they took a needle biopsy of her chin. she was screaming and jerking so violently that i was covered in her blood. she was then given an iv sedative during which i held her as she fell asleep in my arms, they tried the needle thing again, she still screamed, and now i am crying my eyes out. the end result is inconclusive. they aren't alarmed with the look of the cells, so she is now on antibiotics for two weeks, after which we go back to make sure it isn't worse, and if it is, there will be a large biopsy taken.

after today's ordeal, i carried her to the truck because she was so knocked out she couldn't stand and i just wished to god that the vet had some of that sedative to give me as well. we got back to our temporary nest and i layed her on the bed and curled up with her and slept, trying to pretend this morning was just a bad dream.

friday, you are not allowed to get sick, do you hear me?
