Not specifically farm related, but...Spouse and I were at the hematologist yesterday as part of pre-surgery preparations. I was told I'd need Spouse (or myself) to administer subcutaneous shots twice daily for a week, post-operation, to ensure there'd be no dangerous clotting issues. Blanching from being informed of his required help with my shots, Spouse blurted "isn't this something the nearby vet could do for you?"
*blink-blink*...
I about fell over laughing.

*eye roll* just like a man!
ReplyDeletewell? IS the vet gonna do it? lol
Funny. (Is it Lovenox? I had to inject that for 2 weeks post broken hip surgery; did it myself- not fun but it's doable.) Wishing you speedy recovery and healing.
ReplyDelete@jayedee - Ha! Nah, if it comes down to it, there's a new doc-in-a-box in town that I can go to.
ReplyDelete@Karina_Allrich - thanks for the well wishes. I don't recall the name of the stuff; it keeps getting blanked out by visions of injection needles *shudder*.
next thing, he'll suggest you get your hair cut at the groomer's. lol.
ReplyDeleteHope everything goes well. :)
Well, just to make it more fun...if it's lovenox, it hurts like heck...sort of like injecting spaghetti sauce, meatballs and all, into your stomach!
ReplyDeleteI'd give the vet a try though...you may get a nice chew toy if you behave!
@S_Vandemore: shhh, don't give him ideas...
ReplyDelete@warren: Urgh. Oof. *shudder*. I might NEED that chew toy to deal with the shot.
Spouse needs to do his math! Getting the vet to do it would be, um, pricy - at least in THESE parts. Would be cheaper to spend the co-pay and have a true MD do it. ;)
