Results - inconclusive
Mar. 21st, 2008 09:49 pmWell, they didn't ever call, but they mailed me the results. In short: inconclusive. I wish I knew more, but I'm okay with it so far, I wasn't expecting anything else.
( In long )
Diagnosis:
Open
Comment:
No significant gross or microscopic lesions are found to explain the sudden death in this case. There is no evidence of contagious or infectious disease or trauma. The hyaline protein droplets observed in multiple renal tubules are likely to be an artifact of several days' postmortem refrigeration.
( My notes )
I'm handling it fine so far. It's frustrating to not have a final answer. It's a relief to not have anything that points a big finger saying "you're a bad bird mom!" It's a bit selfish maybe to want to ease my guilt. Makes me feel free to get another bird - if I knew I'd done wrong I'd probably be crying my heart out right now convinced I should never get another pet b/c I'd just kill it, so it's a relief that I get to have another pet. Ask me again in a day or two how I am.
Anyone understand those underlined portions in the report? It's the sort of thing where I know I can look up every last word if I need to, but it'd be a pain to piece it together.
