Well, I got my surgery done. It went a lot better than I expected. Thanks, FF for the kind words.
I appreciate it a whole bunch. The surgeon was super nice and when I asked for some classic rock music to be played, he gladly obliged. Sadly, no Eagles tracks were played. :laugh:
Now I just gotta focus on recovering.
Elle81, sending good thoughts your way for your quick recovery! :-)
Elle81, sending good thoughts, healing thoughts for your recovery. Happy to hear things went well. Take care!
Thanks, LT and CA. I'm able to use my fingers and the swelling has gone down enough in my right hand that I can at least type. Unfortunately the medication they gave me was Vicodin, and since my body is so used to taking that, it's now like popping a tictac in my mouth.
One of my cats back home in California died today. He was old, 15 years to be precise. He just hadn't be feeling well and started acting like it was his time to go. My sister was able to get him euthanized and cremated. Sadly, she couldn't be in the room with him, but she held him all up until the vet came to get him. We raised him from birth, I was the one that named him. I really wish I was back home in California right now, because I have no one here to talk to and (normally I'm the type of person that doesn't like hugs) I could really use a hug right about now. :sad::cry:
Elle, I lost my cat Linus, who was even older than that, over a year ago. I'm so sorry for your loss, and that you couldn't be with him. Our pets bring so much to our lives. I'm sure he was very special to you.:grouphug: Not the same, but virtual hugs sent your way!
Is it the time of the year? About this time last year, I lost my cat Precious (she was not!) at age 14. Kidney failure. And although she had a lot of bad habits... I miss her.
Take care, Elle. And so sorry to hear about your cat, too, FF.
So sorry for all of you that have lost your pets. I posted a few months ago in the Petmania thread about the health issues of my beloved pup, Smuggler. He is still hanging on, but it's been a constant struggle juggling his diet and medication to keep him comfortable. Our pets are so precious to us, and I know it is going to break my heart when the time comes for him to go. :grouphug: to all.
Thanks for the condolences, and I'm sorry to hear about everyone else's pets.
FF, a virtual hug is just as good. :grouphug:
Glad your surgery went well Elle and I hope you make a full recovery. I'm sorry to hear about your cat and send my condolences to all of you who have lost pets. Dreamer I hope Smuggler hangs in there a good deal longer.
Just coming up to the mid term break this weekend - we get a week off. Its been a hectic few months and I can't wait to get to relax in Galway.
