Damn it

This is turning out to be yet another crappy weekend in a whole row of crappy weekends, and better yet, it would seem that this particular crappy weekend is wiping the floor with all the other crappy weekend’s lifeless and crappy bodies.
Jelly Man just drove off to the vet. Salmonella hasn’t been herself lately, but we’ve been so wrapped up in the baby fever syndrome, that we just didn’t pay much attention, and then all of a sudden we’re like; “Where’s Salmo? Have you seen Sally lately? Didn’t she look a little extra stiff today? Yeah, you think? Me too. In fact I haven’t seen her eat lately!”
We don’t know what’s wrong with her, especially not me since I decided I’d be better off focusing on one terror at a time because I simply can’t take any more heartache right now, but Jelly Man says it looks like some of her teeth are missing, and she’s a bit limpy.. And god, I don’t want to think about it. There better be good news when they get back or I’m going to have a real beef with the universe. Be warned Universe, it would not be pretty!
// UPDATE //
01:13pm - THEY’RE COMING HOME! There was no x-ray machine at the tiny vet office that was open today, so Salmonella will go to another place tomorrow for another checkup, plus surgery. So far they know of a broken jaw, but they will need to x-ray to make sure there is nothing else wrong. She’s been prescribed antibiotics, painkillers and soup in the meanwhile. Am off now to go make her a nest.
Thank you Universe. Thank you so much. (I totally owe you one!)
01:52pm - THEY’RE HOME! She is going to another vet tomorrow for x-rays to determine if she needs surgery on her bladder, and possibly restitch her jaw, but the vet assured us she’ll be as good as new (save for a few teeth that were shattered and apparently had to be picked out chip by shattered chip. Boy am I glad I stuck with the sourly toddler - I don’t think I could’ve handled the carnage.)
