Waiting

I am currently in the waiting room of the vet hospital. Max is having a test now and if all goes well will have surgery in the next couple of hours. Right now the thinking is a bad disc in his neck although because of his age (12) there is of course concern that there could be a tumor. We have been fighting this for a while and hoping surgery would not be necessary, but he is in so much pain, something has to be done. The hospital is about 2 1/2 hours from home, so I feel certain I will be staying in town overnight. Plus there was very little sleep last night at our home, so it wouldn't really be smart for me to drive back.

I'm typing this on my phone, so please excuse any typos. Now back to my regularly scheduled worrying.
