My thoughts are with you on Thursday when you have to take Shai to the doctor. It's tough taking them for surgery, even if it's minor. About 2 years ago Graham had a mole on his eyelid that was starting to grow a bit. The vet suggested I have it removed while it's still small enough so that it wont cause much scaring. I was nervous and I called the vet so many times that day to check on my baby that I think they were getting irritated He was OK, there were no problems, but it's still scary. I am sorry that she has to stay overnight. That's probablly the hardest part. Just bring in a sweatshirt or something that you have worn already so Shai will feel a bit comforted having your aroma in her cage on her night without mommy. I'll say a prayer that everything goes perfect.
