Bunny is finally resting at home

Posted on | November 14, 2008 |

Today I received the report on Bunny’s spinal cord test … inconclusive.  I suppose this is a good thing since it didn’t confirm anything worse.  But then again it didn’t really get us any closer either.  So at this point we just have to think its an FCE and that she will make progress over the next few days to weeks.  The surgeon was very candid in his assessment and I appreciated that. He said that if we could give her the time and effort to help her, then he felt she would probably make a recovery, maybe not a full one, but a recovery no less. But then again we may see no improvement at all in the next few days or so and she could go down hill from here.  So the surgeon and I agreed, it’s a crap shoot.  

Tonight Bunny is resting at home on her bed, enjoying all the attention she’s getting from Bryan and I.  A short while after getting her home I managed to get her to stand up, albeit with my help, and eat some food as well as drink some water.  Then we had our first trip outside for ‘business’ and that went well.  It looked like the poor girl hadn’t peed in a week!  But now she is as I said, relaxing on her bed.  I think she’s glad to be home in a familiar environment.  

Me on the other hand, I’m in excruciating pain right now.  I think I jarred something loose when I was helping her and then after that, like an idiot,  I ran to the pet store for cat food and to Linen’s and Things to try and find some thick egg crate to make Bunny a better bed.  I had no luck with the egg crate and it was all I could do to get myself home without curling up in the driver’s seat.  I’m trying like hell to stay upright so this thing will pass.  If you’ve never had a kidney stone, then let me be the one to tell you, these things suck.  I feel like someone is kicking me in the kidney from the inside.  They say this is the closest thing a man can get to labor pains and I tell you what … Ladies my hat is off to you.  If men had to go through this for a baby we’d all be doomed.  

Goodnight kids, thank you for your thoughts and prayers, and please keep them coming as we go through what might be a tough next few weeks.  And with that I am drinking another bottle of water.
