I responded why would I call today if she could wait till tomorrow? I must sound like a nasty nut today....soooo frustrated  I feel so helpless in trying to make her more comfortable. Heading out with my older daughter to go and buy a cowbell from our local feed market...think that will be loud enough to alert everyone if she needs us!! Trying to prep for whenever we can get her in surgery. My nerves are shattering....but if I stop and take a few deep breaths I find strength.
