(no subject)

So I got the dress and shoes I needed yesterday and that was pretty much the extent of me being able to get stuff done. I'm pretty sick and have no idea how I'll finish my lab and calc work and art project today, even if I do skip waytes practice. I just want to curl up in a little ball and sleep away everything. While i was home last night my parents showed me how to take care of my rabbit so I can do it when i house sit at the end of the month. He just got home from fairly extensive surgery at Angell Memmorial. He's being having tooth abcesses and they had to remove a lot of infected tissue in cluding some bone malformations due to the infection. Luckily it is just infection and not cancer and he didn't need any of his jaw removed and survived the surgery. However he needs antibiotics by injection and orally, oral painkillers, he's got antibiotic beads in the surgery site and they may need to change the antibiotics once they figure out what kind of bacteria is causing the infection. He can't eat well and has to have liquid food syringed into his mouth three times a day, which he hates. They also said that his heart may be enlarged and want to do a cardioultrasound, but the poor bunny is 6 years old and unless they'd be able to do something for the heart my mom doesn't really want to put the rabbit through more stress, and I agree. He's lost a lot of weight but other than that he's frisky and eating lettuce and got mad at me for putting him back in his cage after the ten minute hop the vet says is allowed. I'm so grateful to my parents for being willing to put the money, time and effort into taking care of him, especially since some of his new routine may be permanent and the vet said that the surgery could give him another year or two. I think i'd break if he died this year too. My cat already got run over (I had had her and her brother since I was 5, her brother died of a heart attack 2 years ago). I really hadn't experienced much death in my life (except pets) until I came to college. Since coming here last year my mom's mom and uncle passed away, my dad's father and cousin passed and a close friend of the family from church died. i know i was lucky not to really know death until I was 18 but I wish I weren't making up for it all at once. Anyway this post is too long and I have work to go do.
