Here's an update on Haku. Right now they're mostly keeping him just for rehab, to get his leg back in shape so he doesn't lose any more muscle mass/flexibility before his next surgery. The cultures came back and they did see some bacteria, but it might have just been contamination. Either way, there was nothing resistant in there, and whatever it is, Baytril should cover it. Originally they were going to do a catheter epidural so they wouldn't have to anesthetize him every day (because the stretching of the joint is really painful,) but now they might not have to do that. They just gave him a mild sedative today and were still able to do it. So maybe this will take care of it.
As for the next surgery he's going to need, that's down the road.
Today I sent out two emails to some Craigslist ads for LMTs. I got one response asking for my #, and tomorrow I'll see if they want me to send a resume. They start at $40 and they say that you can make your own hours. That sounds very nearly too good to be true and I'm sure there's some reality to that, but it might still be at least partly as good as it sounds. It's not exactly around the corner, but for $40/hr, it's not bad. It's probably like a half an hour away or so.
Which, if they make an offer I'll probably have to take it anyway, because I totally misread the estimate on Haku's bill. I thought the thousand dollars was for the week. It was for the night.
I just don't even know.
I just hope he can come home soon, you know?
