Morning everybody. HE'S HOME!!!!! Sorry I didn't get back last night but I spent every moment I had before going to work walking around the neighbourhood looking for Rocky. I'm sure the neighbours either thought I was crazy or a burglar or both. I met a few kitties that I had never seen before but none anything close to Rocky so I had to go to work with a very heavy heart worried to death that he was hurt some where. The night at work was insane. We had a patient have a a cardiac arrest about 2 AM and then another one started to have a horrendous nose bleed at 530. We are a rehab hospital so we stabilized them as best we could and then shipped them out to acute care. There's only 2 RNs and 1 LPN at night for 36 patients so you can imagine the chaos. At least I didn't have time to worry about Rocky. When I got home I expected him to be on the deck but he wasn't. My stomach turned into one big knot but I decided I better get Tori ready to take to the vet for her chemo and then worry about Rocky. While I was getting all her meds ready Tori went to the back door and started yowling. Very unusual for her. So of course I went to investigate and there was Rocky sitting in the grass. He was very dirty and his tail was all puffy. He wouldn't let me touch him of course so I talked to him quietly and led him to the door and he finally followed me inside. After a huge breakfast and many kisses from his Mom he is now sleeping in his favourite spot. Hopefully when I go to bed he'll come join me like he always does. Rocky is my special boy, a one person kitty who gives me back massages. It's heaven, He kneads me all along my back and purrs in my ear at the same time. Anyway thank God he's home. Thanks so much for your prayers that protected him and brought him home safe.
Tori is at the vets for her chemo. She ate a real good breakfast and hopefully will do OK today. Today is the Doxorubicin (Adriamycin) the heavy duty drug. Hopefully it will do it's thing and send Tori into remission. The lump is almost totally gone. At times this week I haven't been able to feel it at all and then at other times it feels about the size of a pea. I hope' I hope I hope.
Anyway I'm exhausted so I'm going to head off to bed. I hope everybody is OK and that you all have a great Friday. Will check in later for sure.
