Now that I have finally caught up on everyone's posts from the past few days. I just have a brief update for you all.
I was very fortunate in being able to get all the necessary appointments I needed for my pre-op assessments. The MRI was the most difficult and I had to use my very best persuasive skills to get that one, which in the end they squeezed me in just prior to normal opening hours. So an early start yesterday. I had an appointment with a cardiologist on Monday and got the cardiac clearance I needed for surgery to proceed. That was a relief. And yesterday was a busy day with another 4 appointments, all in different locations and different times. Of course! Got the MRI, blood tests, ECG and XRays all done and results fast tracked. Today I just need to collect the actual films as the surgeon wants them for the surgery. So today is a bit of a rest day, a pause for breath if you like.
I rang the vet this morning and booked a home visit for him to come out and put my dear little Holly to sleep. I had my gardener come in on Tuesday and he has dug a grave for Holly. Holly has even checked it out and seems to approve. She will be alongside her former best mate, Bessie. We brought Bessie with us from the farm when we moved up here in 2009. I got Holly later that same year. But we lost Bess a couple of years later. As soon as I booked the vet visit (Tomorrow at 12.15pm) the tears started to flow. At least I can spend the next day and a half with my baby. And there are a couple of people who want to say their goodbyes as well, including the neighbours and my lovely cleaner. Ahhhh damn .... its so unfair! I know its not the same as losing a human loved one, but she is all I have left really. I feel like I am losing everything.
