Me and Fey are back home.

Me from the doctor, her from the vet. She got back first and spent hours here without me. I feel horrible about that.

I am bone-tired. Fey is traumatized. She had a tooth pulled. I knew she’d need it. Her breath was so bad I had to turn my head if she yawned. I need to start brushing her teeth. That will be unpleasant for both of us.

Fortunately the vet costs were within the amount of money I saved up. I’m incredibly relieved. Just… was terrified of having to do a payment plan so long the insurance deadline would expire. And within that time having no money for other things.

She’s in really obvious pain. I don’t know if most people could see it. It’s subtle stuff about how she holds her head. And she keeps rubbing that side of her face on everything. The amount of pain meds they’re giving her seem ridiculously little: Presumably she got some at the vet, then tonight at 8, then tomorrow morning.

I’ve got pain everywhere. But it’s probably nothing on what Fey has. I wish I could transplant it to me so she wouldn’t have to feel it, but that only works on Star Trek.
