on sunday night i noticed that Jimmy’s face was swollen on the left side. earlier that afternoon i had removed a long piece of sharp grass that had embedded itself in her nose. i thought that the swelling would have to do with that even though it was more around her cheek rather that on her nose. i looked online and there were some other people who had experienced swelling on the side of the face which was due to a bee sting or an ant bite. but then after looking at it and feeling it i realised that it was rock hard not soft like you would imagine swelling would be. it doesnt hurt to touch and nothing has changed in her. i mean she is still eating, has huge amounts of energy etc. but this morning when i woke up it had gotten bigger again. i took her straight to the vet.

we had no money.

so we took her in for an examination and she eventually had to be left for day surgery to remove what ended up being a fox tail grass seed.

we told them we had no money.

…and fuck it, they said it was ok….!!! can you believe it?

i love country vets.

we already owe them hundreds of dollars after the maybe fiasco and they still smiled and said everything was ok. they make me want to cry!!

so anyway when we went to pick poor little Jimmy up they had also given her her vaccinations. she looks worse for wear to say the least but they really took care of her.
