Survivor!

Photobucket

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__
