Relief!

So I am exactly worried enough to call the vet and ask about Kate and Annie. They apologised that I hadn't been called: the surgeon has apparently been run off her feet today.

They both came through the surgery fine and they're recovering well. The receptionist and technician both called them super super sweet :-) So they've been putting on their adorable faces and probably getting cuddles as rewards.

I can go in and fetch them in a couple of hours. Phew!

Taking pets to the vet is always so damned distressing! Moreso on people than animals, I'm sure! So glad Kate and Annie are okay! :D

I think that I was the most distressed person in the whole thing yesterday :-) Kate and Annie apparently lapped up all the attention and conned the technicians and receptionists into cuddling them a lot. I apparently had the best behaved cats of the day and everyone wanted to take them home with them.

I'm OK when it's just a check-up and I'm there with them, but this thing where I had to leave them there and know that they were having anesthetic and could have bleeds and things terrified me. Perhaps it's a good thing that I'm going to have cats rather than kids?

My little Monster's been under the knife for three major surgeries aside from neutering. Poor puss swallowed something when he was in the 'care' of a former partner and had to have emergency surgery just to find the obstruction. It was a little plug with a hole through it that didn't show up on the scanner thingie.

Years after that he had a case of crystals in his bladder that had accumulated into a giant, marble sized rock that was causing him excruciating pain. They operated to get rid of that, but had to go back in when they realised the first surgery had left internal wire sutures that probably should have been removed rather a long time ago - but I was never told they were even there!

And he dealt with it all WAAAAAAAY better than I did. I was sobbing and puking and pacing and not sleeping at all. He's the longest relationship of my life and I'd be so lost without him! It's hard to leave them in the hands of people you know are going to slice them open and will be responsible for their fragile, precious little lives.

I am so glad your girls returned unscathed and I hope you get some anxiety-free sleep. :D
