thirteen update

I haven't posted about Thirteen for a couple of days because it's been depressing and scary and also I was too exhausted by the whole ordeal to write about it. But, she seems to have turned a corner. Maybe the antibiotic finally kicked in. She's not in tip-top shape but she is starting to act like herself again. Normal walking around instead of endless agitated pacing. I feel like I've got my dog back.

Unfortunately Thirteen still paces all night long, at least she has the past couple of nights. Even with earplugs it seriously interferes with our sleep. But today she was able to lie down and rest without painkillers, for the first time since last Tuesday. So I have high hopes that she'll rest tonight too, and maybe Georg and I will get some sleep. I cannot even describe how tired I am. I haven't slept for more than a couple hours at a time in a week. I was thinking I was going to have to bail out on my own birthday party at the Sharon Jones show tomorrow. But now that things are settling down here, I think I'll be okay with going dancing tomorrow night.

Speaking of which, Sharon Jones tomorrow! Killer music, dancing, and my birthday! Drinks at Tyler's before the show! If you're reading this, you should be there!
