colonoscopy prep 23

Since I’m apparently not allowed any more scans the oncologist agreed last September that I could have another colonoscopy as my last one was five years ago. It was supposed to be in February but then I finally heard from the hospital three weeks ago and they told me the appointment was for March 22nd – the day of Morcilla’s operation! So I asked if they could reschedule and now it will be this Wednesday at noon. Eep.

I’ve been on the low residual diet since Saturday and tomorrow it will be clear liquids all day until I have to start with the dread SOLUCIÓN EVACUANTE at 6 pm. To be honest, I’m a bit worried about this one because I’ve been having a fair bit of abdominal pain and general discomfort lately but was so caught up with all the cat trauma of the past month that I couldn’t allow myself to think about it much. So I guess it’s a good thing I’m getting the test done and hopefully it will turn out fine and put my mind at rest. Fingers crossed! 🤞

caturday april 8th 2023

This is really just wishful thinking… a pic taken a couple of years ago. Since Morcilla’s operation Luna has been so hostile towards her, growling and hissing if she gets too close. At first I thought it was because of the “vet smell” or that the cone was scaring Luna, but even without those things she is still being weird. It could be because since the op I’ve been keeping Morcilla “locked in” with me at night and also shut her in my room when both Peter and I are out, so maybe Luna feels excluded? I dunno. But tonight we go back to normal in that I will start keeping my bedroom door ajar again and remove Morcilla’s “camping gear” (food dishes and litter box) so that both cats can have access if they want. It would be so nice to see them cuddle up together again.

morcilla is 10 (2)

It’s the happiest of birthdays today because not only did Morcilla turn 10 (omg she’s 10!) but today we were also able to say goodbye to the dread cone that she has had to put up for the past couple of weeks since her surgery. I swear she hasn’t stopped grooming since it came off. And of course it’s extra especially happy because the cyst removed from her tiny head turned out to be benign. Really, we just couldn’t be any happier today.

Happy Birthday my gorgeous girl! 🎉💛🐈‍⬛

Morcilla shares a birthday with my beautiful Azar, born 18 years apart.
