Think I'm going to go hide for a week or so!!
Worked down near uni today, got a phone call from my sister (who's currently in Devon) saying that Lugs has laminitis in all 4 feet and could I go down at 6 when the vet was going to make a decision so I could be there to say goodbye to her if she needed to be PTS.
On my way home (lunchtimish) I was just happily driving along when I see a car pulling out across the road, turning right from a side road. It was too close for me to be able to stop so I crashed straight into the side. Cue airbags, horrible crunching noises and a brief panic when I couldnt undo my seat belt or open the door. Thought about things rationally for a minute, grabbed my phone and managed to get out. Thankfully the driver of the other car was ok, though like me, very shaken.
Was there for about 1 1/2 hours what with fire engines, police etc and finally car got towed away, probably never to be seen again. Which kinda left me stranded a long way from anywhere and anyone! Hitched a lift to a train station and managed to get home at about 5pm.
So I've just been down with Lugs. She's still alive, she's very, very sore on her front feet but she's eating and drinking well, she's done two poos today (yippee) and although she's very down, she's still alert.
Vet says that if no more complications then she should get over it in time. So watch this space!!
