Alison has had an emotional day today, after having minor surgery yesterday to deal with an abscess. The procedure went fine. She is on yet a different antibiotic, and needs her pain medications to keep comfortable; but she is making a good recovery. Any surgery means slowing down in terms of walking and strengthening, and healing is always trickier while on steroids. So she is getting her rest, and her docs lowered her steroid dose a bit, which is great.
But, her sweet kitty is not doing well, and she knows that the time is coming very soon to have to put him to sleep, so she is pretty well wrecked thinking about that. All of us “animal people” know how emotionally difficult it is when we have a member of our family, albeit animal, who is sick. It’s pretty hard to deal with, altogether, and knowing we will miss the sweet innocence of our animals can break our hearts as we say good-bye.
We’re sending Alison, Kirk, and Dani tons of sympathy and strength to get through the next few days.
