[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 482340, member: 7083"] Oh, you guys....:tears: Thank you so much for you thoughts and prayers. Today has been a very stressful and emotional day. easy child got married and it just felt so surreal. I feel awful, but I couldn't feel excited no matter how hard I tried. I put on my happy face, but I guess I'm just not ready to let him go. He hasn't lived at home for over a year, so that seems really silly. I guess I need to process it. They weren't supposed to get married until June, and decided less than a week ago to get married today and I've had so much going on, and with my flare, that I'm just not processing anything correctly. It was a nice ceremony and difficult child took pictures throughout (she's taking photography this year in school). Jewel had a spontaneous pneumothorax a few weeks ago. She was at the emergency vet for 4 days with a chest tube. She was home for 4 days, and got sick again. She had 2 large bulla (sp) in her lungs filled with air and fluid - which is probably what caused the first pneumothorax when one ruptured. She had surgery and had 2 lobes of her lung removed. The recurrence rate was supposed to be almost non-existent. She started exhibiting the same symptoms as she did initially at 2am. I took her to my regular vet and what shows on the x-ray isn't clear. It could be a bulla that is just filled with air and not fluid (fluid makes it show up better), but we're hoping it's pneumonia. Weird thing to be hoping for. She's on antibiotics and pain medications, but I think it's another bulla. Mother's intuition, you know. She presented clinically normal the 2 times I had her at the emergency clinic as well.

I can't afford another surgery, and if it reoccurred already, I feel like another surgery would just be torture. They cracked her chest - not an easy recovery. And my car decided to act up today.

My mom followed me up and I was just begging my car to make it and not die in rush hour traffic in the rain. Traffic was a nightmare this evening. Though, I am really enjoying the rental car. :) difficult child is having sinus surgery tomorrow and her anxiety is through the roof. I'm actually really, really glad that I'm not doing anything for Thanksgiving until Saturday. I need a few days to decompress. Thank you, ladies. You've really lifted me up today. You guys are the best. :grouphug: [/QUOTE]
