Today Luna had her wound cleaned and rebandaged at the vet’s and everything looks great, no sign of infection or fluid build up. She got another antibiotic shot and on Monday I start her on oral antibiotics at home (wish me luck with that!). She’s so compliant at the vet’s… at home she’s a whole other gata. 

The biopsy results won’t be back until next week. I have an appointment to get her stitches out on December 30th and between now and then will be keeping a close eye on her. Might take her in again before Christmas Eve just so the vet can have a look at her belly again. Otherwise I should be able to change her bandage here. 🤞

Sonia says I have to keep Luna warm… her temperature is running a bit low… so the heat is on here and I’ve been trying to get her to settle down. But as she seems to be feeling better I think she’s also more restless and won’t stay put. Finally I sat with her for a while in my comfy chair, then transferred her to the “warm spot” and topped her off with the blue thermo blanky… and she seems very happy with that. Except now I don’t have anywhere to sit! More news as I have it…

Last week Luna’s operation was postponed due to stormy weather. The prospect of trying to get her to the vet in the pouring rain with neither of us able to use an umbrella (Peter – carrying cat, me – crutches) while attempting to find a taxi… no way. So today was the day and, as it dawned bright and sunny, we were off to see Sonia and team.

A few hours (and 400€!) later we were home again with a very groggy Luna. I made up a little bed for her on the living room floor, with food and water and a litter box nearby, but she kept wanting to be up on the sofa. Sonia had said not to let her climb up on things but in the end I gave in and let her stay on the sofa and put cushions all around on the floor in case she fell off. She didn’t. In fact, she spent most of the time gazing lovingly at her favourite person in the world (hint: it’s not me) and a while later was ready for a little paté and water.

They removed two cysts and various nodes around the nipples and so now we wait for the biopsy to come back. She has to go back on Friday to get the bandage changed, so we might know by then. I’m so nervous. I’ve told her that after spending so much on her operation she owes me at least 5 more years… hope she listens (for a change). Oh Luna, please be okay… 💙

I wouldn’t like to say Morcilla is spoiled or anything like that, but after spotting her on several occasions attempting to drink out of the water glass I keep on my desk, I thought she might like a glass of her own. And sure enough… 🐈‍⬛🤍🐾

(yes, there is another water bowl that Morcilla and Luna share, constantly refreshed with filtered water)

So damn… woke up at 6 am (actually a welcome change from the usual 4 am) listening to THE RAIN. And then had a look at the forecast. I mean, I already know that on rainy days I am basically stuck inside, especially since the Polka Dot Poncho let me down. Hobbling on crutches means no umbrella is possible and so these days I am more or less resigned to being, well, resigned. BUT today Luna had her appointment to get a cyst removed. which we’d made in November. Dammit.

At 7 am I texted vet Sonia and asked her if I could reschedule because the thought of Peter and I trying to get there and back again in the ALL-DAY RAIN without umbrellas (Peter carrying cat, me on crutches) and trying to find a taxi (we’d already gone through that hell recently) was just… no. And hey, no problem, Luna is rescheduled for next Wednesday morning. But it was another reminder about how my world is shrinking because I can’t fucking walk. So far the forecast for next Wednesday is sunny.
