What a Rotten Week!

I never thought I would write this way but I've had such a rotten week that I have to vent.
Saturday: Saturday wasn't bad until 11:30 at night when it was pouring down rain and we couldn't find our little cat Lupin. He didn't come home until 4:30 Sunday morning, and although he wasn't wet, he was in a lot of pain. He had hurt his back left leg and spent the rets of the night under the bed.
Sunday: We decided to take Lupin to the vet early that morning. I thought that he might have dislocated his hip, but the vet at the animal hospital said it was probably just a sprain and Xrays were not needed. Josh and him came home with some pain medication, and he went straight my underwear drawer. (He sleeps there sometimes, and it isn't hard to get into). He was not a happy kitty all day. I had been working almost all weekend, and I although it was raining I thought I would take Buggy for a drive to an area I'd like to live. The area is way too off away from Corvallis, so the drive was kind of a bust. We were nearly back to her house, when all the sudden a balck car cuts the women off in front of me, and I run into her tailgate. We both slammed on the brakes, but because the road was wet we didn't stop just skid along. My car is just fine, minus a broken blinker light cover and a small dent in the bummer It's about 15 dollars, and 45 minutes of work time. Her tailgate and bummer fared much worse. I knew the damage woudl cost much more, but I don't find out the price until Tuesday. I called Josh and he came over to comfort me. That was the start of my bad week.
Monday: That day was pretty painless. Lupin was still in a great deal of pain, but he took his pain medication easily and I went off to work. I was suppose to get off home at 5pm, after working 3 13 hour shifts, but didn't actually get home until closer to 6:15pm. I know it's only an hour, but it's a lot of time when you haven't been home a lot. I was exhausted when I got home, and went to bed early.
Tuesday: Again the day was super bad, until Josh told me how much the repair bill was for the woman's tailgate and bumper. 1300-1500 DOLLARS!! HOLY CRAP!!!! I don't have that kind of money! So here comes the rescue from my father-in-law. He's a super hero when it comes to cars, and thinks that he can fix it for 600-800 dollars. That's way better, but still a lot of money and it's still shocking.
Wednesday. The best day of my week. Got home a little late after working 12 hours, but I made dinner and went to bed early. It was nice. I was still upset that Lupin wasn't healing, and we spent a chunk of time cuddling on the couch.
Thursday: This is when my week goes downhill. I woke up super tired, even after 9 hours of sleep. It's just so irritating to have a good nights sleep and to wake up not rested. Lupin still wasn't feeling better, so Josh made an appointment for that afternoon. I was able to get off an hour early, so I took Lupin to our normal vet. It was a quick exam, but the results were terrible! Weston, our wonderful vet, said that she agreed that Lupin probably had a dislocated hip, or a fractured pelvis. It took all my strenght not to cry then. She said that she would keep him overnight and in the morning take Xrays. Then, even more shocking was that she siad she hoped it was a fractured pelvis! WHAT!? Cats evidently are very good a healing this part of their body when they are left alone, and have some time. If it's a dislocated hip, when he would need surgery to correct it. Cats are dumb, and when they dislocate their hip once it's back it the chances of it coming out are far greater. So a surgeon removes the ball of the hip, and muscle tissue figures it out from there. I go home and tell Josh. He was just as upset, and then some.
Friday: Confirmed that Lupin has both a dislocated hip and a fractured pelvis! Damnit CAT! Because I don't have enough money problems, let's rack on paying for some cat surgery! Of course we are doing it, and in the long run spending the 900 dollars will be better. If we didn't do surgery, yes the bones would heal, but poorly, and in 5 or so years he would need a total hip replacement which is in the ball park of 5000 dollars, and it requires way more heal time.

So, in 6 days I have racked up another 1600 dollars in debt. I'm glad this week is over. I know next week will be better. Thanks for reading my rant. I'm sorry it was so long, but I feel much better after typing it all out.
