Sorry about the "absence"

After Bassett got home her breathing wasn't very good, but the heat here has been almost unbearable. It was the humidity that was the killer.. it was just awful. Even sitting still was a chore. Then, yesterday, it was really bad so I made an appointment to have Bassett checked again.. so no, I'm not at home yet. I'm STILL at my friends house, but I'm leaving today and going to stay at Nate's... it's getting pretty crowded at my friend's place

Anyway, I took her in today, and they took 95cc of fluid off, BUT.. good news.. it was NOT chyle! It was like the bloody fluid that weeps from a wound.. which apparently is quite common after a huge surgery like this. She is being given prednisone for the inflammation and hopefully when that goes down, the weeping will stop and her pain will go away.. it may not even be pain so much as discomfort. She's moving around quite normally. Also, Bassett is anemic, so I'm giving her something for that.. which is by injection! I was a bit nervous, and it made my knees go a bit wobbly, but I did very well, as she didn't flinch or anything! I guess all that practice on myself with the insulin syringes has been for some benefit!

Again, sorry for this delay, but I've been quite preoccupied by Bassett and her new complications, which THANK GOD are not serious!!! () and hopefully, tonight, I can just have a really nice LOOOOOOOOOONNNGG sleep

I'll do my best at updating more frequently from now on
