That Kind Of Day

It's been one of those days. It's been cold, dark and rainy all day. I've had a headache since I woke up. It wavers between painful and dull pain every couple of hours. Plus with the medications I've taken, my stomach feels like it's on a rollercoaster.
I dozed off on the couch last night, obviously in some odd position that caused my neck to really hurt, which led to the headache. I think.
The phone rang about every half hour between midnight and 4am. Hubs brothers dog was in an animal ER in Olympia, WA. Between the family calling and the doctor on duty calling, I was a receptionist last night.

There seems to be a lot of sick pets around right now. With the whole tainted food scare, three of my own pets, bro-n-laws dog, and a fellow blogger ,who lost her cat in an ER in Texas after eating the tainted food, It's kind of depressing.

I'm sure you've all read about the rat poison story. Which had me confused at first, since rat poison does not normally cause kidney failure. We saw many many many rat poison cases when I worked in the ER, I would say almost daily, and it never caused this problem. This china rat poison is some scary stuff, and I certainly feel for anyone who has had to deal with this.

My three cats, at the moment, can't be diagnosed. Hubs is still investigating the symptoms. We'll see what happens.
I know I've said this before, but I hate when my pets are sick, especially when I can't do anything for them. They can't tell you why they're sick, or what they ate, or where it hurts. Sigh.

And of course, the hubs leaves for three weeks tomorrow, so you just know (but let's pray it won't) get worse after he leaves.

So did any of you have a better day?

**Update~not a happy update though, Memphis Steve lost his sweet kitty today too :( Yucky weekend... bleah.
