unsteady

kara has been with max since he was just a few weeks old, and he's 16 years old now, so i know this is hard on her. he's still a little dopey, or something, this morning, more than 14 hours after the sedation. i don't think he's supposed to still be dopey. i mentioned gingerly to kara that the clinic visit yesterday was $200 and when his lacerations were repaired last month it cost us in the neighborhood of $700. if his wound doesn't heal the way it's supposed to, do we really want to shell out another $500 or whatever on another surgery? i feel bad even mentioning money when it comes to this dog, but soon, especially as he's still very clunky this morning, so long after his clinic visit yesterday, we might have to help him along to his end. at this point, no decisions have been made. we're still in wait-and-see mode. kara's trying to get some sleep at the moment. i'm going to try and get a little writing done.
