ebonlockI just spoiled myself on tonight's House, which may have been for the best as the very special episode is going to upset me profoundly. Apparently I'd missed some of the rumors for this season, so if you hear a plaintiff "Nooooooooo!" in about an hour you'll know why.
*sigh*
Anyway I'm home tonight from dance practice because a) I ate rather stupidly this weekend and my stomach is letting me know it, and b) because I also forgot to take my acid reducing medication this morning and that made an already unhappy stomach even worse. Interestingly I can handle the stomach pain more than the inevitable headache that comes along with it. Not sleeping last night did not help.
In other news Kage had a rough weekend. The vet told us to change her dressing every two days so we skipped Friday and on Saturday we did the usual bandage change. Unfortunately the new antibiotic ointment he'd prescribed had dried and hardened, sealing the gauze directly to the wound. Aelf and I were beside ourselves, but pushed through it, dunking her foot in a diluted hydrogen peroxide solution to eventually peel it off. Kage was in agony but was so brave about the whole thing, I couldn't have been prouder of her. We finally got it changed and went back to the old antibiotic ointment in addition to the collagen ointment he'd prescribed to keep things moist. We've also gone back to daily bandage changes which seems to be working. On the plus side the wound seems to be healing and smaller than it was. She's going into the vet's tomorrow just for a look-see and consult with the vet.
And speaking of Kage, I'd like to thank everyone who contributed to the "Kage Fund" that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
moonlightnrain organized, you have no idea how much I appreciate it. I'll thank each of you separately, but I wanted to post a public thank you as well. It's a great weight off my shoulders.
And finally a big congratulations tomoonlightnrain and lizzzie_lou who got engaged on Saturday. Both were positively giddy when they arrived at the big engagement party that evening, and I don't think any of us could've been happier for them if we tried.
