Already miss the sunshine

[gwyn]

Escapade was a pleasant diversion, but unfortunately even the wonderful sunshine we had through most of the weekend wasn't enough to stop me from worrying about Emma the whole time. Still, it was good to see some of my peeps again, and there was the usual "OMG we're doomed" moment before the vid show, and one snag just as we got to the penultimate vid of the show, but it otherwise went smoothly.

I really don't know if I'll have enough energy or desire to do a vid review. But I'll see how it goes. It was an interesting show in that a lot of people thought it was full of downer vids, which I didn't see at all, but it's an odd day when I'm the one with the only obvious happy ending vid in the show. As elynross put it, "You used to be so ... what's the opposite of sweet?" I was so ashamed. I'm making happy ending vids all over the place. What's next? Power ballads?

Emma did okay but not great while I was away, but today she had a terrible seizure and it was obvious she couldn't see for a while afterward. She seemed to recover enough to eat a treat and sit by me and purr, but now she's walking about, agitated, meowing in a loud and very different way, and she seems overly concerned about her litterbox, so I have a bad feeling something else is wrong. She's not eating except if I give her treats. I'm supposed to take her in tomorrow afternoon, but i fear it'll trigger something else, and if she has another seizure soon, I'll have to take her to the emergency vet. I was really afraid she was dying -- I've never had a pet who had seizures who didn't die right afterward. I don't really know what to do. I don't know that even the good vet knows what's going on with her.

I don't know what else to say, but that I'll keep Emma and you in my thoughts.

I'm glad you had a good time, and I'm sorry about Emma's seizure.

*hugs*

As hard as it is, probably the best thing for Emma during a seizure is for you to remain as calm as possible. When our little dog has had seizures (three last year, none so far this year, knock on wood), I've steadied him with my hands and talked to him in a normal voice until he was over it. A pet's seizure is a horrible thing to witness. ::hugs::

You'll be in my thoughts. My old cat, Mr. Mouth, had a couple seizures when he was seven or eight. They never did find the cause and lived on into his teens.

::hugs:: I'm so sorry we didn't have time to talk this past Escapade, but I was hella sick and by the time I caught sight of you you were too far for my voice to reach. At any rate I'm very glad that it seems you had a good time at the con. I think you new (new?) hair looks awesome and that you've looked somewhat happier than the last couple times I've seen you. ::hugs again:: unfortunately I won't be going to this upcoming vividcon, so I won't get a chance to talk to you then but possibly next escapade or something? =)

I'm sorry that Emma's feeling poorly -- but I'm so far behind reading my friends that I'm hoping by now she's feeling better!
