I went to bed at 3 am, then woke up with hip pain at 5:30 am. Tossed and turned a little, then decided to go sit in the recliner with an ice pack. Just started to doze off when the phone rang. It was a doctor at the vet hospital. Gilly started bleeding at 3 am. Packing with gauze and applying pressure stopped it, but then it would start again. The doctor really tried to get me to come get her and take her to the surgeon, but the surgeon isn't at the same site today. She works 2 days at a clinic in S.F. and 2 days in Corte Madera. I said I really couldn't do that today and what was our option. Finally, she said they had a staff surgeon coming in at 8 am and they could look at her. Gilly might have pulled a stitch out, but it's so swollen, they had trouble seeing. I'm waiting for the them to call. I suspect they will have to put her under and go in and look for the source. More pain for the baby girl and of course, more money.

Too wired and worried to sleep and yet too tired to do anything more productive than solitaire.

Stay tuned . . . .
