a new day of unexplainable miracles
Lucy post surgery, it doesn't look that bad... kind of a crazy stitch job, but its finished. She has been in the shower since Saturday because there really isn't another place to put her while she is healing.
She is finally sitting up...
and then she took a little stroll.. hobble.. kinda..
...THEN...
While i was gonna go to the bathroom earlier, my mom goes "Have you checked on Lucy lately." I told her i was going there right then. I went and was calling her as I was walking in there and I heard nothing. The sliding door was opened a little, which was weird. I looked inside and she wasn't there.
I FREAKED. I called my mother and was like LUCY is missing, she freaked too and ran to get the flashlight. I looked everywhere, then finally to under the bed and there she was just laying there chillin'. I get her out and put her back in the shower, close the shower door and i couldn't close the bathroom door because our other cat, cry baby, needs to get to her litter box. I got back to my bed thinking im going to sleep and my mother yells "WE HAVE A PROBLEM!!" I was like great, now what could be the problem? She said she heard hissing and growling under her bed. I go under there with a flashlight again, and there she is.. just laying there. and cry baby flees the opposite direction.
I couldn't put her back in the bathroom because somehow she figured out how to open the door. I didn't know what to do. I pulled out my trundle to sleep there, but it was still too high off the ground. I had to take my mattress off my bed and put it on the floor so she could get up and down if she needed to for the bathroom and food.
Now, she is laying right beside me happy as ever! I'm so blessed to have Lucy. She is so smart and beautiful and cute and sweet and loving can't help but love her. I know she is going to do fine with this healing from the surgery. The question is now, whats going to happen when she is walking and still carrying the right leg- the left leg is where she had the surgery.
Next Tuesday i go back to the vet for him to take the stitches out. He said that if she is still favoring that right leg, he is going to take another x-ray and see what needs to be done to correct it. __Lord, i give her up to you. You have her on the right track to healing. Thank you for all that you have done for her and will do and are still doing. You've made her such a fighter, for that i thank you. AMEN__

Survivor!
About a month ago i started going to this park to this park to exercise. There are cats all over the park, but there is one corner that they all chill. Every time we walked past all them, this little kitten came by limping, but purring because she just wanted love. Well, after a couple weeks i finally convinced my mom that letting me have her was a fantastic idea. Last Saturday i woke up and got ready to go get her and bring her to the vet. My mom comes into my room and goes "how do you expect to 'catch' her?" i said well, i just squat down on the floor and call her and she comes to me. My mother didn't believe me, so she went with me. I got out of the car and walked over to where they were all kinda just laying around. One came up to my mother and rubbed against her, i looked around but that kitten wasn't there. I squatted down towards the floor and called her. I look towards the bushes and here she comes, sprinting but kinda limping cuz of her leg as fast as she can. Just adorable. I picked her up pet her for a little bit, then got her into the carrier to bring to the vet. She got some shots, we scheduled an appointment to fix her leg (today) and went on our merry way. She is the cutest thing. She was been sleeping with me for the past week, and i can't get enough of her... I love her..
This morning i woke up at 7 to take LUCY to the vet. Then to just wait around for him to call and let us know everything was alright and we could go get her. He calls me about 3:30, "what leg is it that has a problem? I lost the x-ray. I wrote down here in the file, the left leg but i just wanted to call and make sure." I had and still have no idea which leg is the hurt leg. He is the freakin vet, he took the x-rays, shouldn't HE know which one to operate on? If he took her out and let her walk, you can tell right away which leg it is. Why didn't he do that. Why would you do surgery on an animal if you weren't too sure which leg was hurting them?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA... Poor thing man. I have her in my mother's bathroom so she can't jump on anything. Not that she will be walking around anytime soon, but rather to keep her in a comfortable place. I took the top off the carrier, so its like just a bed now and i saw the stitches, made me cry again. UGH! she can't get into a comfortable position when she lays down. I heard her cry once, because she wanted to be pet more, but thats it. I wonder if she is in pain or if there is still reminiscence of the pain killers that the vet gave her.
What if its the wrong leg? How can this leg she just got surgery on heal, if she can't even put weight on the other leg? Good thing is she did use the litter box, that to me was a huge step. I didn't think she was going to be able to do that. I prayed for her last night, this morning, when i got her back, while i was laying with her, now.... thats all i can do. Place my worries into God's hands and let him take care of it.__ Lord, place your holy hands on Lucy and help her have a speedy recovery. I pray, that even if its not the right leg that they did surgery on that her muscles grow stronger so she can walk without pain. I give my worries and my tears up to you. AMEN__
