Afternoon all,
I had to work this morning so just now posting. yesterday

Shadow has been camped out on the couch all morning since I left and ate her partial raw turkey with friskies poultry platter mixed in for lunch.
Her fasting begins at 9pm tonite and I will take her in at 7:45 am and I stay with her until the last moment when it's time to start surgery.
She will get under my shirt to hide, even after they give her the first sedative to relax. But it helps her not get so wound up.
If she gets put in a cage, she starts freaking out and rolling on her back and she panicks.

She'll likely start pestering me at 3 am when she realizes there is no food out. :sad:
And then she'll know something ugly is coming and start looking for places to hide.
I keep trying to focus my tho'ts on the other side... picking her up when it's all over.
I don't want to drive you all crazy with how worried I get.


Requesting prayers that this too shall pass and everything will be okay.... it's almost her birthday #12.
She's the oldest personal pet I've ever had. And that too makes me a litle nervous. I never knew cats could make it to 16, 17, 18....or more.
Until I found all of you, I thought we were near our end.

Hi Rhiannon & Shadow,

I'm sending you my best thoughts for a smooth restful night tonight and a good news day tomorrow. I can completely understand how worried you are but we're all here supporting you and Shadow. My little guy decided at the ripe age of 13 he wanted to see if he could fly with the birds and he took a short walk and a fast drop down 3 stories from my balcony. I too thought it was the end. And here he is, made it to 15.5 years. So keep thinking good thoughts and be positive for Shadow. Stay strong for your little one even though it's so hard. We'll all be anxiously waiting for an update tomorrow.

I'm trying to send you "peace of mind" vibes as hard as I can. Hugs too!

Sending many, many prayers your way. I so totally understand your stress and worry. Our civvie Petey had dental surgery in the end of January...what a long few days leading up to it, and the night before was just awful. He wanted to eat so badly, everyone was stressed. I slept for maybe 45 minutes, if that long, that night. But you are right...all will be fine, and focus on the other side, when sweet Shadow gets to come back home! You've got all of LL behind you, and that's a lot of power!

Hi Rhiannon, sending many good vines and prayers for Shadow's dental tomorrow. I, too, understand the worry any time they need anesthesia. The withholding of food is the hard part. The numbers are great today. Give Shadow some hugs and scritches from us.

Hi Rhiannon - Keeping you and Shadow in My thoughts. I so know the worry. Good dental vines from Mannie and me. Hugs to all.

Great numbers today Shadow!

Piling on some more vines for a boring easy surgery day. When Neko's had anesthesia she was allowed to eat until midnight, and I stuffed her face right up to cut off time. That seemed to help just a teeny bit with the morning hunger pangs.

It's great that they'll let you stay with right until surgery. That'll make things much better for her. :YMHUG: :YMHUG:
 
recap

pmbg 110 forgot to test before feeding ...15 -20 minutes after dinner..... darn... i might have had a 99. ohmygod_smile



I planned on feeding her right at 8:55pm.... it's her usual food time anyway...


i think i'm doing okay ....
seems I get more worked up after it gets dark.... I get the nighttime blues, I guess...
 
(((Rhiannon)))
It will be OK. Shadow will do fine. We are all thinking the most positive thoughts for her surgery tomorrow and sending prayers that the dental vetty will be skilled and gentle. Try to get some sleep tonight. Tomorrow night Shadow will be home and all will be well.

Hugs and scritches,

Ella & Rusty
 
Thank you Katie, Amy, Ann, Michelle, Liz, Wendy, Carla, Ella, Kat and Aseel.
I went and got Shadow off the back of the couch to come sit on my lap and snooze some more as she hasn't a clue of what's coming.
I appreciate all the good thoughts and prayers...

it sounds like you all know how I'm feeling now.
Hugs to all!
 
I'm sending all the good dental vines and prayers for Shadow. Also sending along all the calm vines for you. It's impossible for you not to worry, so we'll all be as calm as we can and send it all to you. What a good idea to focus on tomorrow night when Shadow is home! Take good care. try and rest. hugs and scritches from us.
 
This too shall pass.

And she can get back to having numbers that are the envy of the whole extended *colony* here. :smile:
 
Rhiannon,
Sending up prayers for you and Shadow, for peace in your heart so Shadow can be calmed by sensing it in you. You both are surrounded by lots of love, and you will be in good hands tomorrow. Remember to breathe. :YMHUG:
