    Default Worst Week EVER! 48 hours of no sleep...

    They say when it rains, it pours....but this is more like a cosmic curse!

    Sunday night I went to bed with the alarm set for 4:30am as I was to be at my new job for 6am. I had a hard time falling asleep, so when I felt like I had JUST drifted off, there was a lound pounding at the front door...its 2:30am and its the police. They have arrested two 15yrs drunk boys for a rash of break-ins and they had admitted to targeting our vehicles and garage. We spent the rest of the night looking for our scattered broken valuables that went all the way up the street. They stole our medical jump bag worth over $2000 in medical supplies, and we never recovered it. Our garage was trashed with our stored household and my craft items destroyed. We are at a lose of $8000 worth of stuff. Thanks god for insurance.

    It gets worse....

    I get zero sleep, and do a full 12 hours on the ambulance, after shift there is a 3 hour staff meeting. I am dead tired going on 36 hours of no sleep. All I can think of is coming home and taking a hot bath and crawling into bed. I get home at 9:30pm and find my Lab, Piper isn't in the house. I knew my Grandpa had been at the house earlier that day. I go put my Yorkies outside for a pee when Piper crawled out of the backyard with a badly broken leg. She was a mess. I freaked. In sheer panic, I call my Pa to ask what happend. He rushed right over and was upset with himself. He had let Piper outside for a pee while he went and fixed the down spout on my easetrough(sp?). It was a cold snowy/rainy day....well he forgot to let Piper back into the house and she got out of the yard and was hit by a car. she crawled back to the yard to wait for me to get home.

    The end result was her leg was broken so bad, that she would need metal plates and screws to TRY and fix it. She would need at least 8 weeks of care in a home with mo stairs...and I have 3 levels. This would carry and obvious hefty price tag which I have no way of affording and neither could my Pa.(He offered to sell his truck to pay for it because he was responsible for what happend) Given her age (9) and her history of bad epileptic seizures...I had to make the awfull decision of putting her down. I regret it so much. Even though she was in pain, I wish I was given other options by my vet and had more time to think about my decision, but I was not given the chance. I feel awful and I miss her.

    My Pa has a bad heart condition and was so upset, I feared he would give himself another heart attack. I am not mad at him. Mistakes happen, and sometimes bad things happen for good reasons we can't see yet. But I can't stop crying. Hubby has been stuck at work on his 48 hour shift. I just need a hug and be told I did the right thing.

    This is a strange sounding way of making you feel better...but due to the seizures, the end for her was coming already. My friends put their dog Iris down after she suffered for months from a brain tumor that gave her seizures and degraded her quality of life. They're still sad about it but it was the right thing to do, she was becoming so disabled, she would have had no life & no one could care for her.

    Hey, at least you had insurance on the valuables.....

    even if you had pet insurance, it was probably a better thing to let her go instead of making her live in pain for a really long time. it's a shame your vet didn't jack her up on doggy morphine to give you time to accept the decision. for that, i might consider getting a new vet unless he explained why he couldn't wait and it was a good enough reason.

    She has had epliepsy since she was 6mos old. There were plenty of times I considered putting her down because when she had a seizure. they were so bad, I knew one day it would kill her. But I delt with it and she was normal otherwise. I knew with her age, her health would start to slowly decline and she had taken a small seizure only last week. I feel rotten inside for letting her go because of a broken leg despite how bad. I just can't deal with it....I think I regret making my chioce and I know I can't take it back

    Sinder, my heart goes out to you--way too many things, too many emotions. This is not a time to be doubting yourself--your dog would have gone through a terrible time with the operations, and you knew that when you made the decision. So it was the right one. To second guess yourself now will only add to your difficulties, especially after such a loss of sleep. Take care of the living now--your dad and yourself and your husband--and remind yourself that you were lucky to have the time that you did with your dog. And all will be well again and you will heal. This is a time to be easy on your heart, if you can.

    My thoughts are with you, Sinder.

    We had a cat who had melanoma in her eye. We spent a couple of thousand dollars on eye surgery, etc., and bought her a few extra months. When I look back on it, I feel guilty, because I know that we prolonged her suffering just because we didn't want to let go of her. You made the right decision for Piper, but I know that you miss her. Please accept my sympathy.

    I am sorry you had so many bad things happen at once. But it's got to get better, right?

    Thanks everyone. I can't help but feel awful and doubt my decision, but jhuka and UtahMike are right....the surgery may have only prolonged her suffering. And I didn't want to let her go....I still think she's here just sleeping somewhere. I haven't bothered to even move her food dish.

    Oh Sinder! That is so horrible. What an awful time for you...I'm sorry. Your poor dog- don't beat yourself up about the decision. It's never easy, and I think people tend to err on the side of not selecting euthanasia when it is appropriate. It's much harder to realize when it's time. From how you describe it, I think you made the best choice for your dog. RIP Piper.
