Creamsicle is home from her biopsy *Update 8/7

[Medusa]

I double booked myself today. So I had to reschedule Cgirl for Monday. I wanted to reschedule my other appt. but she'll be gone for two weeks if I don't meet w/her today, so I'm just going to have to give Cgirl medicated baths every day and her antibiotic. Sigh. I need a vacation. I'm tired.

Mary, enjoy a long soak in the tub and take some time for YOU!!! It is so easy to get overwhelmed. HUGS!!!

Poor Creamsicle. I hope the vet can get her infection treated so she can be a happy cat once more

[Medusa]

I thought Dr. Lee was just going to give her a shot to clear up the infection but as soon as he walked in he said "I can see a scab on the top of her head!" Poor little thing has them all over her head, ears and neck and down her spine again. They spread so darned fast! He regrets not taking a biopsy when she was spayed but he said her skin was so clear, he thought it had cleared up for good. The good news is that she doesn't have to be put totally under anesthesia but she does have to be sedated because he essentially has to "punch a hole in her skin" to take the biopsy, as he expressed it. She was not a happy girl this morning, that's for sure. She's so adorable and sweet but she cried and yowled the entire drive there again and then hissed and growled all the while I held her while in the office. So I'll go back to pick her up later this afternoon. I'd appreciate some prayers for my little Cgirl. I'll post as soon as I pick her up.

Prayers for little Creamsicle. She will sure need lots of cuddles when she gets home.

Hope all is well - and Dr Lee will be able to nail it down this time!

Well, we just got home and, as usual, she bolted out of the carrier and ran around the house like a lunatic. The vet tech said that she was very calm and fuzzy from the sedation. I don't know what cat they were talkin' about but it ain't this one! What a Monday! Everywhere you drive in OH, it seems the roads are torn up w/detours, slow traffic, etc. The temp. is 86 w/high humidity and Crazy Cat won't stop making a fuss. Her meow is different from the other cats; it sounds like a squeaky door. Then I get hit w/another $400 vet bill today. (There goes my new bicycle.) I'll tell ya, my nerves are shot! But at least Creamsicle is ok. I think. I won't know the results of the biopsy for 5-7 days and she has to go back in 10 days to have the sutures removed. Between Puddy and Creamsicle alone, these last few months were a killer of the finances. But this is what I signed up for so I guess I shouldn't complain. It would be nice, though, to have money set aside for something fun once in a while instead of a catastrophe, yes? And to add insult to injury, she won't have anything to do w/me again. Ah the life of a crazy cat lady. Sorry to rant again but it seems like I live at my vet's this last year. I may as well set up a cot there and get it over with.

Aww, we are supporting you in spirit! We know what cats are like.
Fingers crossed for Creamsicle.

Mary I am so so glad Creamsicle is doing good.. I am sorry she is unhappy with you.. She will come around in time.. So in the mean time I offer you this once more..

Be Happy



Sit & Relax

[Medusa]

I'll get there. Just turned out to be an expensive day w/other stuff and this unexpected expense was a shocker. But my furkids are worth every penny. Sure hope they don't mind sharing their cat food w/me.

I'll be sending positive thought that you get good news from the biopsy (and a break on your pocketbook).

[Medusa]

Goodness, what happened there? My computer must've felt my frustration and it posted a repeat 3 times! Anyhow, I laid on the sofa for about 10 minutes just to gather my thoughts and calm myself down and little sweetie Cgirl hopped up on my lap and thrust her head into my hand, as if to say "Look at what Dr. Lee did to me, mom!" She has two spots where he took the biopsy and so I lightly rubbed her head a little and she just closed her eyes and relaxed. Here I am grouching because the biopsy put a hole in my finances but it also put a couple of holes in my Creamsicle's head! Ouch! I feel better now cuz I know she feels better now.

More prayers for Creamsicle and the Pet Angels will vist her and comfort her during her procedure.
They hopefully can sure that problem and Creamsicle will be happy and healthy once more.

[momcat]

Prayers are still being prayed for Creamsicle and you too. Groucho says he's saying lots of kitty prayers for both of you too. Oh, by the way, Groucho said he'll share his catnip with you because it just might make you feel better.

[kb2yjx]

Prayers heading your way Mary from ALL of the Clan!!!

[Medusa]

Cgirl came flying up the stairs this morning, ready to start her day! Two punch holes to the skin in her head didn't slow her down one bit! We both got a good night's sleep and I'm sure that has a lot to do w/her energy and my attitude this morning. Amazing how sleep deprivation works on your mind, huh? Today, even though outside it looks like rain, everything looks bright!
