I went into hospital today, one of my plastics scars is infected so I am on antibiotics and have to go back in the morning. They wanted me to stay in but I persuaded them that I would be better at home. Got home to find a message from my friend on the house phone to let me know my beautiful Black Lab Jasper, who was being walked by my friend whilst I was at hospital, collapsed during the walk and was at the vets. I went up (in my nightdress) and lay on the floor with him. He was in a dreadful state. I sobbed, half for him and half for the pain I was in. Two of the vets had to help me get up from the floor. Husband arrived and after 30 minutes I headed to go home for pain relief and to lay down. Jasper had calmed down a little since I arrived and my husband said he would phone as soon as he knew anything.

I got home and went straight to the larder and got out a block of chocolate and ate the lot. I mean FFS. I haven't done that emotional eating since surgery. Of course I then threw up like the exorcist, trying to hold onto my painful scar, then husband called. Long story short, Jaspers staying overnight at the vets (£500 min) then will be going to a Vet Nuro Hospital in the morning. I feel stupid having the chocolate and I need a good slapping (from myself, I don't advocate violenceagainst another).

I am sat on my riser recliner, watching TV and giving myself a good talking to.

Pillock.

So sorry to hear about your dog Jasper, Kate. I wish you the best and that Jasper feels better soon.

No worries on your chocolate indulgence... you have already paid for that. I am sure I will be tempted down the road and do something very similar.

Hugs

I hope your pity party is over, but like @mylighthouse said, you already paid for your chocolate indulgence. I too, hope Jasper will be better soon. And you too @_Kate_! Ya'll both get to feeling better, you hear?

We all have weak moments, it's better to just pick yourself up and learn from it instead of beating yourself up for it. You've already paid the price by getting sick. I hope everything with Jasper works out. <3

Sometimes a pity party is in order. Sorry about the pup - they are great. Wound stuff seems to go with plastics. Take care of yourself. Agree hospitals are full of germs. Did they put on IV infection?

Im on a lot of pain killers and Morphine so I am very happy right now lol. Goodness knows what happened with the scar. The hospital was spotless (and so is my home) Its skin necrosis and I believe its common at T junction scars. Im not a smoker, just unlucky!

I had a spot on my right bum At the T on my right breast Then any spot I saw for 3 days was it with ointment. I measured each. OZD? We both hit our bodies with multiple surgeries. From what read wound separation is common. I was not prepared and had a Freak out party! This is what my PS would not do my inner thigh in the bundle. Let us know how your follow up went Kate.
