Suddenly and without warning I found out that we're waiting to find out if my Dad has cancer. The bomb dropped on Tuesday. He might not. He probably doesn't. It could be a medication he's on that caused the false positive. It could be a couple of other things, according to the good doctor.
But it could be cancer. It could.
And today I took Lucy to the vet to have some dental work done. In the end, they took out four teeth. Four more teeth from my impossibly sweet and now nearly-toothless companion.
The receptionist laughed when she answered the phone at 1:04pm. She said she knew as soon as it rang that it would be me - calling as soon after 1:00pm as I could - asking how the surgery went.
She was kind. She clearly deals with animal-loving lunatics all day long. But make no mistake, I presented myself as a complete nutcase today. Without question.
The thing is, I'm worried that my Dad has cancer and I had to surrender the only tiny little thing I have in my care to the cruelty of dental surgery and the uncertainty of anaesthetic.
I am a nutcase at the moment.
I would cry "Uncle", but I just don't have the energy.
Oh no. I'm so sorry you have so much to worry about. I hope you hear a good diagnosis for your Dad soon.
ReplyDeletePoor Lucy. I hope she has a swift recovery and that those remaining teeth stay healthy for a long time.
I'll cry "uncle" for you tonight, you rest.
Oh Kristin ((hugs)) I hope all is okay with your Dad! Give Lucy some extra snuggles for me.
ReplyDeleteOh, I am thinking of you Kristen, and wishing for good results for your Dad's tests. Much love.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your father, and your pet.
ReplyDeleteI will keep the hope up that the tests are positive. Positive for your and your family, negative for cancer
A friend IRL is dealing with the same with her dad. Ugh.
Oh pumpkin! The worst is not knowing. I hope it's not what they think. We too are waiting for some results for a family member... {{HUG}}
ReplyDeleteI hope everything is okay with your father. He'll be in my thoughts & prayers.
ReplyDelete(((hugs)) - Thinking of you.
