Thanks everyone for the huigs. I need them!

I dreamt HORRIBLY last night -- al dreams of crying and hissing cats with all means of deformities and mean attitudes. Today is going to be a loooongg day until I am able to hear from the vet that she did wonderfully and is awake & resting.

[furrykidsmother]

You and Flutter are in my thoughts and prayers. Will be looking for a great update from you.

(((Hugs)))

Any word yet or is it to early? I am on pins and needles waiting.....

[catnapper]

Laura, thanks for asking. You think you're on pins and needles, imagine what I'm like!

I just called, and she has not gone into surgery yet. They think she'll go in around 3:00 my time (its 12:30 now) another two and half hours before she goes under, and then they said to give them an hour after surgery starts to call to check on how it went.

Something in the back of my mind keeps screaming: stop them! Tell them you're coming to get her and she does NOT need the surgery! I keep telling myself that its for her own good. So she doesn't bang and hurt her leg, so it doesn't get cut open on a near daily basis. I know if I had a boo boo that I kept cutting open, I would not like it. So I keep telling myself, this is a good thing for her. But my heart is screaming for me to rush over there and kidnap her away in the next 2 hours. I am driving my self crazy!

I can tell the kitties miss her, especially Harry. Even Abby is missing her. I'm trying not to think about how Angel is running around the house looking for her.... because that only breaks my heart more knowing Angel is leaving me next Thursday for her own forever home... will Flutter do the same for Angel next week?

I am so over fostering! This kitten season has broken my heart a million times over. Perhaps I just love them all too much.

Awww, Kim, as I read your thread, I can only imagine what you are going through. You will feel so much better once you hear that she is awake and doing well. I am sending you LOTS of hugs and warm wishes and prayers that her recovery is short and speedy and she is soon loving you and all of your other wonderful little furry ones.

Kim I so hope this day passes quickly and that you can put your mind at ease and that Flutter will do just fine, I know it is going to be a long and emotionally draining day for you, and I really feel for you, I wish I could be there to help you through the day and re-assure you, that all will be well, if its any consolation Kim I have myself in a tizz about getting my neighbours cat spayed next week, already my stomach is churning just thinking about it, and that is a pretty standard op, I just worry something won't go right, so from one worry wart to another, cheer up sweetie, I know its tough, but it will get better as Flutter does, Take care and HUGS galore to you.

I know how I fell in love with L&L and then Wally and Marty and how Chester grieved when M&W left. He STILL goes in that room looking for them and calls for them and it has been almost a year now. I don't cry anymore for them but they left a empty spot in my heart that will be a long time healing. That is why I know I could never foster... for what it does to me and my other fur kids. It is so sad when they miss them, even sadder than when we miss them.

I will be checking later to see if you have heard from them.. (I know that wanting to run and grab them and bring them home... that is exactly how I was when Amy got her spaying.)

Flutter Luv Bug, we are praying and pulling for you little girl!

[catnapper]

Ok, I just called and they are finishing up the surgery. Dr. K is performing the surgery, and well, the man is a god among vets. I fell soooo much better knowing he's the one who is doing the surgery.

I will call to bother them later tonight to make sure she woke up from the anesthesia. Then I get to call tomorrow morning after 8:30 (which you all know means 8:31 ) Then I'll get to pick up my little Flutter Butter and take her home. I am soooo happy to hear the surgery went well (at least until the point I called - they did say they were finishing up)

My porr little girl - its all over now. I don't know whether to be sad or relieved.

[Craftlady]

Glad to read everything went well with her surgery. I'm sure she will be sleeping off the effects of surgery and with help of pain meds have a comfortable night.

[caseysmom]

Be relieved, she won't have the hindrance of a useless leg, she will be more free, you did the right thing.

You mean they won't let you sleep there...hehe

[catnapper]

I must have made an impression on the poor vet techs with my dozen calls today.... I just got a call from the vet. He said he's done, and she did great. He said the tube is out and she's already starting to wake up. He said she'll most likely go right back to sleep and sleep clear through the night.

He did warn me that it looks pretty gruesome and that I will be shocked at her "little naked chicken wing"

Did I tell you what a great vet he is?


Big exhale.... WHEW!

[caseysmom]

Well thank goodness that is over. Healing vibes are being sent her way.

[jenluckenbach]

APPLAUSE!!! She can start her new life tomorrow morning!

[Laura's Babies]

My eyes are filled with tears of RELIEF!!!! PRAISE GOD! PHEW! Now I will relax a little bit and save one more gray hair from growing in from worry.... to go with the already dozen I have grown today!

I am looking forwards to tomorrow morning and you getting to bring her home! I can't believe they are letting you bring her home so soon ! Be sure to ask about pain meds for her to bring home JUST in case she needs them.

Little Flutter Bug, Good Girl for doing so good! Now heal up fast without giving Meowmie a heart attack by ripping and running through the house. She is going to worry about you far more than you are going to worry about yourself. I am betting it will only be a matter of minutes before you know what you can and can't do. Give Meowmie time to adjust please.
