alonewiththemoon2+ hours of dancing and yoga when you have had a good night's sleep and haven't been sitting at a desk all day is a wonderful thing. If I had more endurance I'd've kept on going but right now I am made of jello.
Seti's ultrasound came back all systems normal, so we continue with the monthly Lupron shots. Maybe his adrenal disease will just never be that severe. I can always hope. There was some oddness going on with the way that urine was pooling in his kidneys, but the ultrasound showed no blockages of any kind and his bloodwork was 100 percent normal, so we're concluding his kidneys are just funny that way. So basically everything is fine. The vet was mortified to tell me that Seti almost accidentally went in for surgery--they actually had sedated him and he was under anesthesia for about five minutes--because there were two ferrets in that day, and somebody had put the wrong name on each chart. Luckily this meant that Seti did get an appropriate amount of sedative and anesthesia for his body mass, and since the anesthesia is gas-based, there were no afteraffects. His back leg was partly shaved for an IV, but that's the point when somebody recognized him (there's one benefit of monthly visits) and realized the error. Dr. R. assured me that the hospital takes these things very seriously and the responsible parties were being called on the carpet even as we spoke. Since no harm was actually done and I did get a nice apology, I'm not making a big fuss about it, but I still get little shudders at what might have happened if nobody had realized the mistake before surgery started.
There was a large white duck in the waiting room. It was not pleased to be wearing an elizabethan collar. At least that's what the loud incessant quacking seemed to indicate. All the dogs looked intimidated. Seti didn't seem to care, but after his day, who could blame him?
Mall Discount Liquors sells *cases* of Dogfish Head. I cringe to think what they cost, but I have never seen more enticing looking cardboard boxes. I did pick up a 4-pack of their Aprihop, an IPA flavored ever so lightly with apricots, which I think is just phenominal. In fact, I think I'll stop typing and go indulge in one right now.
