She came home today. But the attitude seemed to be that barring a miracle, she's just home for a few reasonably good days before she dies. She's still not eating. Not a good sign at all.
She is herself for short periods of time. But she tires easily. She doesn't seem to be in pain.
I'm feeling at peace about this. I'm glad I did all my wailing and gnashing of teeth before she came home. She doesn't need that from me. If she's really dying, she needs me to make what time she has as "good" normal as possible.
The thought of calling my therapist to talk about how overwhelmed I felt about the responsibility occurred to me. But instead I asked the vet for reassurance. Which probably helped more. This is her only shot, and even if I mess up in some way, I can't do worse than not doing anything at all.
I have a horrible feeling that asking the vet rather than calling my therapist is a sign of growth or something. :(
