The Good & The Bad
Only two days into the week and I’m already exhausted…
Good news first. EA offered me a position yesterday to end my internship four weeks early. Of course, I accepted and I will be starting next Monday (same team, same games, same desk, just a new status).
Now onto the bad. Erika arrived home from work today to find Serenity (Sera) hanging by her arm from our living room blinds. Apparently she had stepped through the blinds while trying to get onto the windowsill. In doing so, she hung herself by her paw and had been hanging there for around an hour or so (estimated under two hours by the vet). Erika had to cut her free and rush her to the vet. She’s been diagnosed with this really long term which basically says that there is an injury with the nerve rootlets from their spinal chord attachments. There is no way to tell at this point if she will regain function of her front left leg. She does have slight feeling in the paw but that doesn’t mean too much. Her recovery will take weeks and we just hope that the nerves were just stretched and not severed. The vet said that this should not be a painful ordeal (after the immediate injury subsides) but either way, Erika came home to a terrified kitty. I am going first thing in the morning to see her, since I didn’t get off work till after the vet had already closed.
This is the same kitty that was diagnosed with kidney failure fourteen months ago. She just can’t seem to catch a break. Well, at least now I make enough money to pay for these damn vet bills.
