Where have I been?
It’s been an eventful 24 hours, I’ll tell you that much.
After work yesterday, Mary Ellen and I had a meeting for a committee we are on at the church that went on and on (and on), and as it was way late by the time we got out, I wasn’t able to write and record a podcast. I’ll be giving $5 later today.
Then, as we were snuggling with guinea pigs, which we do every night, Mary Ellen noticed a thing on Cesar’s ear. Cesar is nearly five, so anything abnormal is cause for concern, but this was weird. A swelling where his ear flap meets his face, about the size and shape of a marble. It was squishy and spongy, and didn’t seem to hurt at first, though it did the more we poked it.
Anyway, I brought him to the vet this morning, where it was declared an abscess, lanced, drained (I’m throwing up a bit in my mouth at that), and now we have to give him anti-biotics for two weeks. He’s fine. I’m not ready to deal with piggie mortality. Hopefully I won’t have to for a very long time.
