I need a hug....

[catnapper]

Flutter is at the vet being prepped for tomorrow's surgery. I heard them mention putting on a pain patch... owie. I knew it was going to hurt, but putting on a pain patch now, 24 hours before the surgery? I'm just sick thinking about how much this will hurt her.

I have so many portraits to do for work, but I came home and fell asleep because thats all I could think about. I now feel drained. I am emotionless one minute, overwhelmed emotionally the next minute. I can't concentrate, and I have a hard time focusing.... both mental focus and visual focus. I think I "broke my eyeballs" from all the crying. Why is this hurting me so bad? I keep telling myself over and over again that its all for the best, but my heart doesn't believe it.

I won't know how she is until tomorrow night, and won't be able to pick her up until Friday. The next 48 hours is going to KILL me!

Please, hold my hand til I hear how she is, til I see her little girly face? Til I hear her sweet little squeaky meow of complaint? I MISS HER ALREADY!!!!!!

Oh Kim, my heart goes out to you. {{{hugs}}}

I know it's hard, but the best thing for you is to immerse yourself in your work. Try to get your mind off what's happening to your sweet little Flutter and before you know it the surgery will be over and she'll be on her way to healing and being better than ever.

{{{hugs}}}

Sending hugs to both you and Flutter.

Re: the early pain patch. I have a dog who needs pain meds for an unexplained soft tissue problem. She only needs them after a long run. My vet told me to give her the meds before the run, not after. That way the pain never kicks in and Pingo never has to feel lousy while she waits for her medicine to work. Maybe your vet is thinking something with Flutter?

[PJ's Mom]

Hugs and good wishes to you and Flutter from Texas. She's got all of PT pulling for her. She's gonna be just fine.

Aww Kim i understand completely how you are feeling right now,and I wish I were nearby to give you a real hug, but know in your heart you are doing the right thing and the best for Flutter, but yes I understand how those emotions build up inside and make you feel,when you see her improve and get well, then you will feel much better, until then hang on in there sweetie, Flutter knows you are helping her,animals sense things and you know that.

Wishing all the best for wee Flutter and that she will make a quick and good recovery and her pain will be eased ,and to you Kim A GIANT HUG and lots of love and I hope you will feel a bit better too once Flutter is on her way to being well again.

Kim, I would be in the same shape you are in right now if it were one of mine!

Why not try to draw a picture of her as YOUR EYES of YOUR HEART see her and will always see her and put in it all the love you have for her (with some of all of ours). It will give you something to focus on, come from your heart and hopefully release your pain... Or write her a letter or poem...

If all else fails, just go to bed and cry some more. Cry until you can not cry anymore and we will cry with you and for you. Your pain is our pain too and I hope you can feel the cyber hugs and love we are sending you and hope it can comfort you.

I will pray for pretty Flutter Luv Bug, that her pain is small and recovery is fast and soon she will be back in her Mommies arms to comfort her! WE ARE HERE if you need us. If you need to talk, PM me your phone number and I will call you. ((((HUGS)))) Laura

Good luck to both you and Flutter. I think these things are harder on us sometimes than them. Will be anxious to hear how things went. Hang in there.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

to you, Kim!!! It is so hard to let your cat behind at the vet's; and in Flutter's case it must be extra hard!Lots of extra big hugs to you:
1) from me and my family:
2) and from me personally!!:

[orangemm]

All of us will be thinking of and praying for Flutter; just remember you are doing this for her, so she will be more comfortable. It's hard dealing with it, but remember we are here for you.

Hugs and prayers (((((hugs))))

More ((HUGS)) coming your way Kim. Flutter will do just fine. Plenty of special needs kitties here, and even after eyes have been enucleated, and limbs removed, it's amazing how fast they bounce back. She'll be tearing around the place in less than a week I'll bet.

[kimlovescats]

((((((((HUGS))))))))))) Kim ... I can imagine what you are feeling, and it's all normal!!! We mommies are the world's best worriers! I will pray that Miss Flutter Butter does fine and is back to herself in no time. I'm sure she will be!

(((((more hugs)))))))

Kim
