I hate my dog
My corgi has degenerative myelopathy which has recently made her back legs almost useless. She can still walk around with difficulty but slips and falls a lot because she can't feel her rear legs.
She has to be carried up and down stairs and has developed the annoying habit of having me go to the rear of the yard to grab her to carry her inside. I did this today as usual and on my way back to the house I slipped on ice and landed with all my weight on my right elbow to protect my dog from the fall.
Dog's ok but I'm afraid I might have broke my arm which would really really really suck because I have a tight deadline I have to make and with no health insurance I cannot afford to go get X-rays if it turns out not to be broken.
While I'm nursing my arm the damn dog somehow managed to walk up 13 stairs to the second floor which she hasn't done in months. That bitch might have let me broke my arm to carry her up four steps when she was able to make it up three times that.
This was this morning. Still dunno if it's broken or fractured. Not sure how I can tell. I can move it ok now but still hurts and is quite swollen. What say you Dr. Bube? Or anyone who has had a similar injury?
Gonna try to draw now. Lost half a day of work time already. Hope not too painful.
Argh. That BITCH!
